  This is awesome, thanks for sharing! Why is it so fast? Is it angular???
  • mcrittenden 14y ago
    Angular + the fact that YouTube serves up JSONP requests really really fast :). The code is at http://github.com/mikecrittenden/toogles http://github.com/mikecrittenden/toogles if you're curious.

      Thanks, this has actually sparked my interest in learning Angular. I was ready to start with Ember.js, but this has pushed down a different path. Appreciate you sharing the source code.

        I can highly recommend Angular. I used Ember for awhile (built minutefavors.com on it so I did get some decent real world experience) and was a fan until finding Angular. Angular just makes a lot more sense to me and I can get more done with less code.

  Loving the Yeoman favicon! But really clean site, and it feels pretty fast, i like it :)
  • mcrittenden 14y ago
    Yeah, for some reason making a custom favicon is one of my least favorite parts of this process so I always put it off. :). Glad you like it! Thanks for trying it out.

  It is a pretty smooth from 1 page to next. Nice job. Quick Q for you: which api endpoint are you using to get the youtube listing on the frontpage?
