Thanks for making the library, glad to see you put lots of time into the docs too. Hopefully the can of worms you've opened doesn't drive you crazy, personally I would've stopped the second I found myself writing something like this... $($($($('.nH .if').children()[1]).children()).children()[1]).children()[1] :) [1]https://github.com/KartikTalwar/gmail.js/blob/master/src/gmail.js#L49 https://github.com/KartikTalwar/gmail.js/blob/master/src/gma...

To be fair, that's a pretty odd way to write jQuery, which is designed to be chained. It could be rewritten as: $('.nH .if') .children().eq(1) .children() .children().eq(1) .children().eq(1) But if you were just pointing out how brittle it is, then yes, that's still apparent.
