Hello everyone!

Have you ever needed to ask the user to pick one of a list of records?  
Ever struggled with the usability and performance of generating a  
humongous dropdown list?

RecordSelect is my answer. It provides a paginated, searchable, and  
RESTful way to browse a list of records and select the right one. It  
even allows keyboard navigation, because I thought that sounded pretty  
cool.

Want to see more? Check out the demo app from SVN.

Feedback is appreciated! Even if it’s a friendly “yo, something else  
already does this … better.”
