I found and fixed a bug in WebKit! My LeviRoutes framework needed to simulate 'onpopstate' events for testing, but WebKit's createEvent(\"PopStateEvent\") was broken. After some digging in the WebKit source code, I found the problem in Document.cpp, added the missing PopStateEvent handling, created a test case, and submitted a patch. It got reviewed and accepted! Now my fix is part of WebKit, used by tons of people, and I can finally get back to LeviRoutes.
I've created LeviRoutes, a client-side JavaScript routing framework inspired by Rails. It's simple, fast, and focuses solely on handling URL changes. LeviRoutes works with HTML5 History APIs, hashchange events, and even gracefully degrades for older browsers. It supports named parameters like "/:category" for dynamic routing, allowing you to treat the URL as a controller input. Check it out on GitHub!
I've decided to make the Topicala software distributable so anyone can run it. I'll release the code soon, after re-deploying it under kinaln.co.uk. It'll be maintainable and modifiable, allowing others to have a similar setup on their own sites. If you're interested, let me know!
