A terrible HTML parser that you might be able use to scrape (well-constructed) pages from Google Apps Script

One-way databinding

	/*

	A library for wiring a state object up to HTML

	- [data-bound] = Sets the innerHTML of the element
	- [:attributeName] or [attr:attributeName] = Sets the value of attributeName
	- [class:className] = Toggles className based on truthiness
	- [on:event] = Bind event listeners to this element

	It's like an unholy fusion of Vue and Backbone. Call set() on the state object to trigger a render.
