Haven't looked too much at the API, but right off the bat I would suggest a more compelling suite of demos, with collision, stacking, etc...I may just be missing the links.
You're definitely targeting a gaping niche IMO though (same one I'm trying to fill through a side project). Using Box2D in JavaScript feels like programming in assembly sometimes.
It is! I'm the author of newton and didn't realize it was going to be published on hacker news. It's fast and simple but lacks some basic features I'm rounding out - plus it needs more examples and a test suite.

Yep, the demo is just non-interactive falling objects, it feels like an "intro" instead of a physics engine.
