Humane JS

This project was heavily inspired by 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 from themes dir. (or use bigbox.css if you want the one on the demo)
• Include the theme CSS in your page
• Include humane.min.js in your page

Demo/Usage

You can see a demo and usage here

Custom Themes

Got a neat theme/animation, love to see it. View theme-src/bigbox.styl for an template to get started (uses Stylus w/ Nib and Canvas).

To get setup with Stylus use npm:

(sudo) npm install -g stylus nib canvas

With Stylus installed you can watch for changes and compile into CSS by running:

make watch
