shareNice is a project/sharing widget without an intrusive nature.
This sharing widget is different from others in the way that it doesn’t give away any extra information to third party services, and features a transparent sharing interface, ensuring that every user sees what exactly he’s sharing — or not.
shareNice supports sharing with facebook.com, digg.com, by email, delicious.com, twitter.com, and other social portals.
Backstretch is a jQuery plugin for adding a dynamically-resized background image to any page.
The plugin can also be used for creating a slider.
The images are fetched after the page is loaded, so the visitors won’t have to wait for the image downloads to complete.
Backstretch resizes the images automatically — so mobile browsers are also supported.
Graphene is a real-time dashboard & graphing toolkit.
Graphene is built upon Graphite, D3.js, and Backbone.
The library can be used to build a rather comprehensive dashboard for both web and ‘data-based’ projects.
As of now, three data-based widgets are available in Graphene: TimeSeries, GaugeLabel, and a GaugeGadget. Styling is done with CSS.
CodeMirror is an easy to use tool for in-browser code editing. A great number of languages are supported in CodeMirror.
CodeMirror supports markup for popular languages such as C, C++, HTML5, JavaScript, etc., as well as a number of less-known programming languages.
See this blog post for a really creative approach to using CodeMirror. Also, check out some demos here.
basket.js is a JavaScript library for loading scripts with localStorage.
basket.js provides a straightforward API for managing local storage files.
The API contains four functions that are used for checking if the file exists in the local storage, for adding a file to the local storage, for removing a file, and chaining files that should be loaded.
Although basket.js should undergo some more testing in order to use it in a production environment, the script looks powerful and could potentially save quite a lot of bandwidth.
TweenJS is a library for tweening and animation in HTML5 and JavaScript.
TweenJS offers a chainable API for sequencing animations, and as well provides some CSS support.
Although basically taking another Flash feature to JavaScript, TweenJS is a very welcome library indeed, as it’s very simple to use — yet the results are amazing.
TweenJS is also a part of the upcoming CreateJS HTML5 designing suite.
