This is spam. The submitter is the author/owner of the software product in question, which is not free.

Am I misreading the HN guidelines? People submit their own projects all the time, and quite a few of them are money-making operations. The whole site is run by a VC firm, for gosh sakes.

I could understand "this isn't a good or interesting piece of code", but "this is a commercial piece of code" seems like the wrong thing to complain about.

Is there really a market for closed source Javascript libraries?

There is! Actually over the internet there is a market for everything. And this tooltip thingy is so useful. I wouldn't go the extra mile creating a tooltip for my site but wouldn't hesitate to pay for one that looks and works awesome! Increases the beauty quotient of a site.

Doesn't seem to work in chrome. Sort of a non-starter.

The BeautyTips (http://www.lullabot.com/files/bt/bt-latest/DEMO/index.html) jQuery plugin has most of these features and is quite easy to work with.

pretty slick. a free plugin with not quite as many bells and whistles:

What puts this over any of the myriad jquery tooltips like qtip and jquery tools tooltip? Also there's an upcoming jquery ui tooltip widget.

I think it's trying to be the one-stop-shop for tooltips, wheras jQuery is HUGE with a library of other features.

I like it.

nischalshetty15y ago

This one seems to have a lot of features and is pretty!

gawker15y ago

Looks pretty neat!

This is awesome! I've tried a lot of free jquery tooltip plugins but they never quite fit the bill and I do not have time or motivation to build one myself! Can't you like give HNers some discount on the licences?
