The author did post a story about intercooler four times in the last 3 years. Where is the problem?

Whats the problem with that if their is no need to reuse the API, or if there is no API at all, just a bunch of uncool php scripts?

Is client-side rendering better per se?

What standard do you refer to?

I think it is obvious that this lib isn't meant to be the foundation for the next facebook app, be a contender for the current hip bloatware frameworks or might be the best lib for single page apps generally. But I can see lots of use cases where this lib will help to spice up some projects without getting burden under some boatload of unnecessary tooling and boilerplate codes.

Look at the author's comment history, rather than story history. He has a reputation of plugging intercooler in every discussion related to JS. Not that I mind; but most of the "reposts" that GP is talking about are comments, not actual stories.

Good news: now that this broke through the noise I can relax on the shilling.

I assure you I am the person most relieved by this. ;)

I don't think there's anything wrong with sharing your work. This reminds me of a thread last week about sharing what you've made. https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=12838751
Kudos to you for not giving up man.
I've seen he doing it before. The OP pushes Intercooler.js in every place.

Anyway, I'd like to thank him for it. It was because of this pushing that I learned about the lib, and I'm very glad for that.
