After reading about the release of the Cappuccino web application framework a few days ago, I thought I'd take a stab at re-implementing one of their demos in jQuery. Cappuccino is obviously a huge framework with tons of features, but I don't think jQuery can be dismissed quite so easily in favour of something so heavy.
This took me about 3 hours. It's probably not perfectly optimized, and I took a few CSS shortcuts that only work in Gecko and WebKit. http://www.brokendigits.com/2008/09/05/cappucinos-flickrdemo-in-45-lines-of-jquery/ Enjoy! ben
