What exactly does it do? I'm not sure if I follow completely.

  It allows loading pages without refreshing browser window. User will not notice any loading indicator/progress, pages will instantly "replace" each other.

    > User will not notice any loading indicator/progress, pages will instantly "replace" each other Um, no. The pages won't "instantly" load - the browser still has to make a round trip to load the page content. A loading or progress indicator should still be shown letting the user know that this round trip is taking place - especially important if you're on a slow US cell network. If a user is on a slow connection and no visual feedback is given they may end up mashing a link, making the load time worse - or, worse yet, assume the site is broken.

      Agree, I will add "before" and "after" events to the Joconut, so that developer can listen to them and display progress indicator he likes.

  Loads pages via AJAX and updates the browser history using `pushState`. This is an alternative to the PJAX library: https://github.com/defunkt/jquery-pjax https://github.com/defunkt/jquery-pjax Use either if you have an irrational aversion to page reloads. Snark aside - jQuery Mobile uses a similar technique to cache entire pages in the DOM and for page transitions.
