A sliding UI is worth #2 HN spot? Wow.

If I'm correct, it's interesting because the transition is done without using a URL fragment (http://url/#fragment).

FTFA: "Want more? Check out the HTML History API Demo and MDC's Manipulating the browser history documentation. Facebook has blogged about their use of this stuff, and Flickr has been doing it for months on their lightbox view."

So, its not even news. Unless, I suppose, the reader learned javascript in 2001 and feels they don't need to keep up on new things. That's the HN crowd is it?

Fuck, I've been learning javascript for a week and I know how to do this.

It's interesting because it's been a major gripe on Github (at least in my circle), and now that they finally have it, we're all happy.

Relax, dude.

Awesome! Why don't you post your amazing UI for us to critique instead of complaining that not every single link that anyone likes is revolutionary?

I'll be honest, I have only seen this once before, and I do web development as my job. As far as I can tell, it's not that common on the web yet.

Well then, my apologies to all. I was genuinely surprised that this got so much news, but perhaps I shouldnt have been such a dick about it.
