The last third-party Javascript snippet you'll ever need

I would probably explain what on Earth my product is before I go about asking developers for $10 to get early access to it...

If you have so many Javascript snippets that you need another javascript snippet to organize them you may want to think about how your developing your application and what your application means to the user.<p>Heavy Javascript on the client side either means your writing a full featured web app or the entire website is clientside in javascript. The former probably has performance penalties that make this a bad idea. The later, IMHO, is just bad.<p>The only useful thing I can think of with this is the fact that it can serve up a custom load of libraries all bundled and gziped in one file. But to that extent I can run a small script on my computer that will do that and then upload it to my server rather than having to cross domain half of my Javascript.

I had the same idea a while back but never executed.<p>Pricing is going to be tricky. You have to convince your users that your service is really worth it. Copying and pasting code into their site costs nothing and takes very little time. Once it's there it rarely changes. Most users don't understand the performance impact of 3rd party scripts.

I've recently started using an asset manager for my latest app, and I believe they are becoming more common (rails 3.1.3 includes asset management).<p>Why would I use a package manager as a service when I can essentially do it for nothing?<p>Maybe I'm just not understanding your service. A few years ago, this might have been something I might be interested in (though I doubt I'd pay for it), I think you may have missed the market opportunity.

How reliable will uberjs.com be as a CDN? Also it seems to be jumping the gun a bit in regards to asking people to pay for it.

Interesting - very curious as to how it works though, maybe something you could add on the page. Since your audience is developers I'm sure others would appreciate that info also.

Thanks for the feedback everyone-much appreciated. Working on the wording; seems like I did a poor job of explaining what it does and how it works.

A web2.0 web based GUI for uglify-js and closure compiler. Just what I've always wanted.

Just a little something I've been working on over the holidays.

Uh.... All I see is some web 2.0 layout, some cryptic mumbo jumbo about something called uberjs, and a plea for $10 or I can sit in line and wait for something I'm not even fully sure what it is.<p>Perhaps you should make me love your product, before trying to get me to give you my hard earned money.
