Ajaxify wordpress with HTML5 pushState based on History.js by Benjamin Lupton.
Support for HTML5 modern browser only, focus on mobile and not breaking SEO rank. Take an advantages from History.js, visited contents saved into browser's so it will find and display it directly, no repeating request to server even have anchor (#).
Bundled with jQuery scrollTo plugin for user experiences and used to read and scroll to anchor. Using jQuery AJAX methods, some plugins that used javascript will not work. And due to AJAX methods, this will not working with cross-domain (subdomain) calls.
No Jetpack API (or similar) integrations for now, so it just get whole page/post request and filtering the content to show in the body.
