Isotope is fairly nice, but it is still missing fluid width on the layout elements. In other words, although it does respond fairly well to horizontal resizing of the browser, it still doesn't do a good job of dynamically adjusting the width of elements horizontally while at the same time stacking them vertically.

I made some custom modifications on the original jQuery masonry plugin to get the effect I needed for my upcoming web app. You can preview it at http://test.bookflavor.com (This is an in-development sneak preview so don't expect everything to work perfectly, but you will be able to preview my personal modification of the jQuery masonry plugin.)

This site looks great. Seriously, well done.

Thanks. I'm glad you like it. I have been feeling quite depressed of late, and a little demotivated about the site, so your positive feedback means a lot to me, and boosts me to get back to work and finish those last few features that are needed.

Don't be! It is both bloody lovely and likely very useful. The magic combo :)

I just reviewed the site as well - REALLY nicely done (both .test and www). I've passed it on to a few friends of mine who are literary fanatics, i'm sure they'll find it useful as well. Hope you launch the new site soon!

Wow I'm really impressed with the layout and how clean it all is.

Thanks allenp. I hope to finish a few last features and get it released soon, but I'm at a bit of a low point right now, and finding it hard to finish a few final details with my attention diverted towards other paying jobs and issues in my life.

Hope you do, and that you release the mods. Really sweet job!
