Angular for filtering Developer profiles? #7

Really liked how you could filter developers by name on the Gumby site, was thinking we could use Angular to get the same effect. Ideally it would work out where:

All developer names are visible from the start, but are collapsed to only show the name and a small icon. Is one half (or one third) of the width
Can filter the name with an above search bar
Clicking to expand a profile makes it expand to full width and show all their info.

Will look into how to use the Meetup API with Angular to get this effect.

The meetup API already uses jQuery. Does it need a full application framework? And if so what about something like Backbone which would be far less heavy lifting as Angular. Food for thought.

True, I just have more experience with Angular so my mind went there first. For that kind of live-filtering I was thinking a framework of some kind would be helpful since that's the kind of data-binding they were built for. Although with jQuery I should be able to get the same kind of results. Will be a little trickier but will also save a lot of time getting the API together with Angular, plus it lightens a lot of the Javascript load.

Will play around with it later today without Angular.
