Pedestal is an open source toolset for building web applications with Clojure.
Pedestal is made up from Clojure libraries and tools that allow coding in a single language, albeit one not too popular.
Pedestal puts an emphasis on collaboration (it has a shared interface) and scalability, which makes it a good library for larger projects.
Responsable is a full-blown responsive framework for HTML, CSS, LESS and SCSS.
The framework has a clean markup and has its code normalized for consistency across browsers.
Besides that, it has the following features:
All in all, Responsable looks like a good enough responsive design framework — I wouldn’t know, however, which one to pick from the plethora out there.
Aleo Free Font is a nice typeface designed as a slab serif companion to the Lato font.
Aleo looks sleek and neat. It’s released under the SIL Open Font license, so you can use it in free and commercial projects alike.
The font supports diacritics and has six styles that make for a slick and attractive font for everyday use.
Responsive Nav is a standalone JS library for creating a toggled navigation for smaller screens.
Responsive Nav weighs a mere 1.7 kilobytes and supports touch events. It has cross-browser support and supports dinosaur-browsers (IE6 included).
What’s more, this neat plugin works with disabled JavaScript, and even on screen readers.
Cavendish is a CoffeeScript/jQuery plugin for adding functionality to your slides (to turn them into a slider).
Cavendish can create four types of sliders: paginated, pan, arrow-controlled and simple sliders.
The plugin doesn’t try to polyfill for older browsers or provide extra features. It’s a very basic slide controller, and you might just prefer it for its simplicity.
jQuery.deviantartmuro is a plugin that provides a wrapper around the deviantART muro API.
The plugin launches a powerful editor upon an element of choice — really, one of the best out editors out there.
Users can even save the images, but you can use custom use of features, such as filters, via some scripts to enhance the user experience.
