Drop jQuery dependency to reduce size

By looking at code, there's only two places that use jQuery. As it is quite big and slow, I'd suggest to drop it.
1. blob.factory.js
It uses $.extend, which can be drop-in replaced with little helper as said here. This is easy part.
function extend(){
for(var i=1; i<arguments.length; i++) {
for(var key in arguments[i]) {
if(arguments[i].hasOwnProperty(key)) {
if (typeof arguments[0][key] === 'object'
&& typeof arguments[i][key] === 'object'
) {
extend(arguments[0][key], arguments[i][key]);
} else {
arguments[0][key] = arguments[i][key];
}
}
}
}
return arguments[0];
}
2. Bootstrap v3 dependency
There is bootstrap.native that is based on native Javascript with smaller footprint and better performance. Haven't used it myself, but looks worthy to try.
I could make a PR on this. What do you think about making such change?

make sense, I will check the code and have a test in my local env first

Bootstrap need jquery, so we cannot remove the dependecy.
