Want to see if there is any interest here from anyone in joining me to sponsor a plugin that acts like [InstantClick](http://instantclick.io) or [Quicklink](https://github.com/GoogleChromeLabs/quicklink), but for single page apps. Depending on how we go, JSON would either be fetched on mouse hover, or when links come into view. When the user does click on the link, the subsequent page would render pretty much instantly. I have the developer lined up, so if we have enough interest we can start right away.

I believe @falco looked at something similar to this recently.

Thanks Jeff, that’s good to hear - @Falco, did you get anywhere with this? Apart from the above, there is also a third option ([Guess Library](https://github.com/guess-js), which uses machine learning) but I haven’t looked much into it.
