There are numerous uses for Sparklines: visualize stock indexes, dashboards, or even adding statistics to a browser-based game.

The plugin features seven graph types, and, what’s more, they can be animated — a useful and comprehensive plugin indeed!

Draw Series Graphs Easily – Morris.js

Morris.js is a JavaScript library for drawing series graphs easily. It uses jQuery and Raphaël for functioning.

What’s fascinating about Morris is its simple markup: you only have to provide an array of results, and a graph will be created.

There are some rather useful options: changing the line color, line width, and graph-related values.

A Simple And Engaging CMS – Kotti

Kotti is an interesting new content management system that runs on Python.

Kotti is by itself rather simple, as even expected features — like a post archive and date publishing — are missing; however, as the CMS was written with extend-ability in mind, Kotti seems legit for a GitHub fork and some work.

The CMS features an interesting permission system, with user permissions being handed to areas of a website instead of specific actions.

Kotti would likely do well to provide more features out of the box. The CMS still provides a solid starting ground, though.

A Standalone Color Toolkit – One Color

One Color is a standalone color toolkit that also works in Node.

One Color can seamlessly convert RGB, HSV, HSL and CMYK color spaces to the format you require, and adds methods to any color channel in any available color space. The alpha channel is also provided.

This is mainly a color manipulation library, and its main strength, as far as I can tell, is the seamless unit conversion and methods that add unseen functionality to your color manipulations.

Expand And Collapse Content – Collapse

Collapse is a jQuery plugin for creating progressive disclosure designs.

Basically, Collapse provides a nice, lightweight (600b) solution for expanding and collapsing website content.

What’s the best about progressive disclosure interfaces is that they don’t confuse the users with any information they don’t need at hand.

The additional elements can be shown with a transition, e.g., a sliding motion.

Collapse features a number of options and callbacks (cookie support is notable) thus it’s suitable for creating even the fanciest of web apps.

Real-time Document Collaboration – Etherpad

Etherpad is an open source web service that allows multi-user collaboration on a single document.

Etherpad is hosted on a number of public sites used daily for private (piratepad) and public document sharing.

The service offers a full-geared GUI for document editing, viewing their history, and sharing them.

Etherpad is particularly advantageous for cryptic people, as it’s a safe, non-Google way of sharing documents.
