It is truly amazing what power you can add to your web app with very little coding thanks to YUI. Thank You Yahoo!! You guys rock.

  Hey, it's great that you are enjoying it, but is your personal happiness really "Hacker News"? If you'd found something interesting to say about it, that would be different. I'm kind of curious why people upvote this story. Is it just because they agree with the premise? Like the "vote this up if you love chocolate ice cream" genre on Reddit?

    Indeed. I voted it up because i like YUI and would like to thank Yahoo for the work. I realized my mistake right after i clicked... This is not a news entry and shouldn't be on HN. Perhaps a good way to go about showing your gratitude is to ask people here on how they use YUI and share that with Yahoo...or something like that.

    For anyone who is developing a web app and is not aware that YUI is growing and getting better, I can't see why this wouldn't be newsworthy here.

      It's not newsworthy. You don't see people linking to ruby-lang.org and thanking Matz and the Ruby team for developing Ruby.

      Announcements about YUI might be news, a blogpost like "consider YUI for your next project! Here's why!" might be news. Your personal gratitude, while admirable, isn't news. It's not my site, though, and I'm only expressing my personal opinion about what I like to see here. I prefer straight news and commentary, without Twitter-style observational chatter.
