What’s great about jurlp is that it treats URLs both as strings and as objects, allowing for advanced URL manipulation and monitoring.

The library is well-documented and, it seems, has gained quite a popularity at GitHub with 155 watchers.

Kartograph’s strong points are:

  • Separated map generation and rendering;
  • Numerous map types available from the get-go;
  • Independent nature which allows for complete designing freedom (doesn’t use Google’s maps).

Overall, Kartograph seems like a good solution for a graphics designer or a data miner. The maps are rendered in typographic quality, so web magazine editors should take a look at this library.

Bowline is really an interesting solution, as it allows creating design with CSS3/HTML5, and binding it to Ruby models (MVC structure).

Bowline uses WebKit for rendering views, and currently works on Linux and OSX (Windows support is on the way) operating systems.

Kalendae is a rather thorough plugin and uses moment.js for date manipulations.

The calendars created with Kalendae can be attached to any element, even an unnamed one, and is fully stylable with CSS.

Kalendae’s instances can have blacked-out dates, preselected dates, and so on; plus, the library provides a thought-out callback system that’s very useful for complex operations regarding data.
