# humane.js This project was heavily inspired by [humanmsg](http://code.google.com/p/humanmsg/) project for jQuery. I really liked the project but I wanted to remove the jQuery dependency, add support for CSS transitions, and have more control over the timing. ## About humane.js tries to be as unobtrusive as possible to the user experience while providing helpful information that is clear and grabs the users attention. It is framework independent. Customizable. ## Setup Setup is simple: - Download tar/zip - Select a [theme](https://github.com/wavded/humane-js/wiki/Themes) from `themes` dir. - Include the theme CSS in your page - Include `humane.min.js` in your page ## Demo/Usage You can see a [demo and usage here](http://wavded.github.com/humane-js/) ## Custom Themes Got a neat theme/animation, love to see it. View `theme-src/bigbox.styl` for an template to get started (uses [Stylus](http://learnboost.github.com/stylus/) w/ Nib and Canvas). To get setup with Stylus use [npm](http://npmjs.org): ```sh (sudo) npm install -g stylus nib canvas ``` With Stylus installed you can watch for changes and compile into CSS by running: ```sh make watch ``` ## Desktop and Mobile Browser Support humane.js has been tested for the following browsers. - Internet Explorer 7+ - Firefox 3+ - Chrome 9+ - Safari 3+ - Opera 10+ - iOS 4+ - Android 2+ ## AMD and Node.js Support humane.js works for AMD systems like [require.js](http://requirejs.org/) and within Node.js CommonJS module system like [browserify](https://github.com/substack/node-browserify). ## Contributers Many thanks to the JS/Browser wizards that helped make this better, community rocks! - @bga_ (Alexander) - @joseanpg (Jose) - @OiNutter (Will McKenzie) - @ianmassey (Ian Massey) ## License (The MIT License) Copyright (c) 2011 Marc Harter <wavded@gmail.com> Permission is hereby granted, free of charge, to any person obtaining a copy of this software and associated documentation files (the 'Software'), to deal in the Software without restriction, including without limitation the rights to use, copy, modify, merge, publish, distribute, sublicense, and/or sell copies of the Software, and to permit persons to whom the Software is furnished to do so, subject to the following conditions: The above copyright notice and this permission notice shall be included in all copies or substantial portions of the Software.
