Design proposal for an usability improvement #51

Hello folks,
after a long chat with some guys of the jQuery-dev irc channel I decided to post on here my doubts about the new jQuery plugins website.
I know all the efforts that you have put redesigning all the new jQuery websites (jQuery UI, jQuery Mobile etc...) but I think that jQuery could do it better.

First let's check some design caveats:

Such as design exercise I've made a prototype of the new jQuery plugins website http://www.gianlucaguarini.com/blog/jquery-plugins-website-redesign-proposal/ thinking that it should be clean an easy to use without many cerimonies.
Then one of the jQuery developers suggested to create new lint section on the new site, something like plugins.jquery.com/lint , having just the plugin ajax search on it.

I am not sure if this could be a good push for you to update your website but I am sure that I would expect something more from the jQuery dev team:

  • what about an entire ajax navigation?
  • you could create a JSON (JSONP) API allowing the other pluigins websites to fetch from your official data (the same API could be used to make your website entirely an ajax app)
  • jQuery is going to drop the support for the old browsers right?! so where are the CSS3 transitions?

IMHO Code matters "write less do more" but also design is important and so jQuery payoff could be translated "show less get more"

that's it for now!
