You're currently in the process of walling up your garden of API-awesome. All of this is happening because you need to earn money. You are about to kick the very thing that made you great. And continuing on that course, you'll lose in the long-run. Before getting to the idea, let me point out where you stand.

URI.js is a Javascript library for working with URLs (without going insane or shooting yourself in the head). It was released in the last week of 2011. Here's some background from a week after launch.
