The library name is quite misleading. I was expecting extensions to the CoffeeScript language. But instead this is just a bunch of javascript functions written in coffeescript for use with JQuery. A better name might be "JQuery helpers".

A nicely designed site though.

A lot of these seem really useful -- a nice set of things I've grumbled at having to write myself before as well as things that I haven't had a need for but I could very easily see being useful.

Out of curiosity, is there a reason you're actively marketing it as CoffeeScript helpers? For people using it as a drop-in library, it shouldn't make a lick of difference whether it's written in CS or vanilla JS, especially since you have the compiled JS in the GitHub repo. That isn't to say that you should be obscuring the fact, but right now the name says to me that being written in CoffeeScript is a significant part of the value being provided, which doesn't really seem to be the case.

Thanks a lot. The CoffeeScript marketing is threefold:

- I think CoffeeScript is really cool, so I like spreading the language.

- I wrote them in CoffeeScript for a Backbone app also written in CoffeeScript, so for what it's worth it's more "authentic"

- I thought Coffee Filter was a cute name

Glad you might find them to be useful!

These all look pretty useful but they all seem kind of unrelated and the project strikes me as kind of unfocused. It would be cool if the these features were added to a larger project like Bootstrap.

Totally. It's not necessarily meant to import into your project whole hog, it could just as easily have been a set of gists. So feel free to pick and choose ones that you might find useful!

Totally agree. A lot of this stuff would be a nice fit for Bootstrap especially.

Nicely done, these look like useful functions. I think it would be helpful to split them out as separate downloads so I can integrate them piecemeal.

Why are all the function names in snake_case instead of camelCase?

That's a holdover of the project from which I extracted these, reachably. We decided to use snake case across html css and javascript to keep things standard - feel free to judge that decision.

Given that people will most likely be using this in more traditionally camel cased situations, I think I will go through and change that this weekend. Thanks for pointing that out!

Please keep the snake_case. Think of all the things that CoffeeScript borrowed from ruby while omitting the snake_case. We aren't that far from being able to write most frontend code with snake_case. All it would take is a Backbone fork and a jQuery wrapper to get us most of the way there!

Interesting perspective! I agree, but think the majority of people prefer semantics by language.

Coming soon... TypeWriter - templates for TypeScript

I generally don't get much value out of things that look like pet libraries on here, but there are a few utilities in here that I have genuinely missed having in the past, so kudos there.

Completely offtopic though, the 'drip' icon actually bugs me, and I actually had to stare at it for a minute before I realized why -- you've got brewed coffee dripping from a pristine filter. S'weird.

Haha, that's an MVP animation. The next iteration will have a filter that slowly gets saturated and THEN drips.
