Ask HN: Does anyone need a jQuery plugin?

9 points·rduchnik··5 comments

I've built many plugins in the past, you can check them out here: http://websanova.com/plugins

I'm looking to build some more and thought I would ask the community what they need and see if I can deliver on anything someone needs.

Personally I prefer the journey which leads me to the final result, sure, I could outsource some of my paid work to you (with you without the wisest) but not only would that be morally wrong of me, it wouldn't be fun.

I don't code because it pays well (or in my case, okay) - I code because it's what I love. I'm sure someone else will find use in this so I'll upvote it in any case because charity without request is often just what someone in a tight spot needs, but myself... I'm gonna just keep coding away.

Ha, well I'm not in a tight spot, I just want to write some jQuery plugins. They will all be open sourced on github of course.

It's a shame this didn't gain more traction, perhaps try posting it at 6pm GMT, then you will hit USA lunch and UK evening, best chance of visibility.

Could you write sample Jquery Plugin that wraps BackBone.js ? People normally use Backbone.js for full page rich ui applications and Jquery plugins for jazzy components with little business logic. I need to have a jazzy component with a ton of business logic. (think Jquery UI tabs -- with each tab containing tables of data with ui input/click in one table affecting other tables in other tabs) . It would be cool to have a tutorial that shows how to do that.

First search on http://jquer.in whether that plugin is already available and then make a plugin.
