Cash: An absurdly small jQuery alternative for modern browsers

Hey guys, if the selling point of this framework is the size, I would suggest adding the library size to the readme, preferably in the first paragraph or so. That's what I looked for when I loaded the page, and I didn't see it.

cash.min.js is 7.8kb once downloaded, for anyone coming to this thread after me.

Nice work all around, is this comparable with Zepto? What features are missing from Cash that you guys hope to add?

Strange my numbers vary from yours. In their latest commit the minified content in their dist is 9.3kb as is and 3.2kb after gzip

I did not know you could pipe to gzip... That's awesome!

Indeed. I've been very happy with this badge service: https://github.com/ngryman/badge-size

Yesterday I found a good, extremely lightweight (986 bytes uncompressed) alternative, extends Array.prototype:

If that's too much, there's an even more extreme version (379 chars):

I have an even smaller one.

>> is this comparable with Zepto?

Jquery functions Zepto has that Cash does not: ajax, contents, hide/show, map, offset, offsetParent, replaceWith, scrollLeft, scrollTop, size, slice, submit, toggle, unwrap, wrap, wrapAll, wrapInner

Zepto also has some optional plugins that aren't in the default build.
