 Looking forward to seeing your work on this :)

 Several UX things I usually encounter with infinite scrolling in other web
 sites / apps:

 - As the list infinitely expands, the user scrolls farther away from the
 top. There should be some way for the user to quickly scroll to top to
 navigate to other pages, or refine their search criteria.

 - Let's say the user navigates away from the page. If the user decides to
 go back by clicking the browser's "Back" button, they should be presented
 with the previous theme browsing state, rather than with page 1.

 - Some sort of indication of the range of items being displayed versus the
 total number of items should be presented to the user as the next page is
 preloaded and displayed (e.g. 120 - 145 of 20000 total).

 Don't know if all of these should apply to this case, but could be some
 idea to consider.
