I love to complain about infinite scrolling, but this... is actually pretty clever. I'm not a huge fan of the everything-in-a-modal approach or URL manipulation (i.e. Discourse, which involves a lot of scroll listening and only gives you an approximation of your scroll position), so I think this is a good alternative.

Now for something a bit more ranty, in keeping with tradition: why the heck does the infinite scrolling interface at https://artsy.net/browse/artworks have a footer?

Thanks for checking it out! To the footer question—I think you just caught a bug :) Logging it!

We usually try to remove the footer e.g. on our posts page https://artsy.net/posts/featured

Ah, good to hear it wasn't intentional. =) I realized shortly after posting that comment that I'm a terrible hypocrite, cause we're actually guilty of the same thing in a couple places on our platform. Granted, we repeat the footer links in the sidebar, but still, it's something I'd like to fix.

Anyway, good work on the library, and thanks for open sourcing it!
