A funny thing happened on the way to building a delayed real-time feed display: I got temporarily obsessed with implementing a template language in JavaScript that, as it turned out later, I didn’t need.

For what it’s worth: I’ve answered my own question about event delegation based drag and drop. It seems to work quite well on my machine, which is quite a bit beefier than my old machine. I should try it out on there soon. But, I’ll hopefully be releasing it soon in the [...]
