Comment (by gcorne):

 @matveb, I really enjoy the improved design!

 Took a quick pass in [attachment:27055.9.diff 27055.9.diff] to tighten up
 the javascript and make a few improvements.

 * Removed the unused 'tag' field from the query. Doing so dramatically
 sped up the API calls (going from 2-7 seconds to more like 280 ms).
 * Switched to https for the client-side API calls
 * Switched to inheritance, new objects, or lightly adding new methods to
 existing constructors instead of overwriting methods/properties on-the-fly
 * Fixed issue where infinite scroll wasn't working in some cases such as
 the "latest" and "popular" filters
 * Made a jshint pass.
 * Fixed up the router a bit to be more inline with how themes.php works.

 While making this pass, I came up with some things that I think still need
 to be done:

 * Use the same treatment for themes that are already installed as
 {{{themes.php}}}
 * Finish up the "More" filters
 * Carefully think through what data coming from the API needs to be
 escaped.
