Seems like a great idea but angularJS? no thank you....wish you could build a simple app like this using jQuery.

Any particular reason you dislike Angular? Have to say since I've been building with angular, I try and avoid jquery and any direct dom references completely. Think angular is fantastic.

I think AngularJS is too much effort to build the simplest things. I don't even see the benefit at all. I build all of my javascript apps (I hate using the word front-end apps) using jQuery and Flask backend. I don't even use asynchronous . I just don't see the point.

What's missing from jQuery that limits you but does not in AngularJS?

jQuery leaks too much memory. Not a big deal on desktop, but it's a tool of last resort on long-lived webapps.

they have jQuery mobile for that. I've not used it but seems like thats what it aims to do.
