HTML9 Responsive Boilerstrap JS is a hip bootstrap boilerplate for HTML9.
It has generated considerable buzz on the internet, and has been subject to unanimous praise among developers.
H9RBS.js is cross-platform compatible to the degree that you can run it on a Commodore 64. Pretty neat.
Although some believe that this might be a pun, we are inclined to believe that everyone who thinks that way is a non-believer who should immediately convert to Pastafarianism.
Gamepad.js is a JavaScript library for enabling joysticks in browsers.
Gamepad.js is intended to smooth out the differences that different joysticks have. It also provides descriptive images that correspond to the actual joystick — use them to guide the user.
The library is highly experimental and works only on nightly builds; however, as browser support becomes available, gamepad.js could become a rather popular addition to HTML5 games.
Qwiki, a revolutionary new search tool that enables you to discover more about a variety of topics through a unique and transformative audiovisual reference tool that we call a ‘Qwiki’. Their mission is to provide a new way of searching for, and receiving information and content.
Whether you’re planning a vacation on the web, evaluating restaurants on your phone, or helping with homework in front of the family Google TV, Qwiki is working to deliver information in a format that’s quintessentially human – via storytelling instead of search.
Think of asking your favorite teacher about Leonardo Da Vinci, or your most well-traveled friend about Buenos Aires: this is the experience Qwiki will eventually deliver, on demand, wherever you are in the world… on whatever device you’re using.
The resize & crop plugin is a plugin that, well, resizes and crops images.
The plugin weighs less than a kilobyte packed, and is quite easy to use.
You can specify the new size in pixels, and simply have to mess around with the proportions of the image to crop it.
The project could use a documentation, but you can manage without it, of course.
The NounProject is a nice site where you can download “noun icons” or simply infographics available under the public domain.
The icons will always remain free, as the site’s creators believe that, “symbols can not be effectively shared with the world if they are not free”.
There are currently numerous older symbol images by various authors, plus many by the noun project folks.
You’d use infographs for logo designs, for enhancing your existing sites, and for making user navigation a pinch easier.
A truly great and valuable find.
Labelify is a jQuery plugin which allows adding labels to textareas to ease user navigation. The text is included inside the textbox and removes itself whenever the user clicks it.
The looks can be customized with CSS.
The plugin is really, really easy to use.
Once you’ve included the plugin, you only have to add the ‘title’ attribute whenever you define a textbox.
<input title="Your text" name="whatever" type="text" />
