Least.js is a randomly arranged responsive gallery with lazy resource loading.

This gallery is useful if you want to create an image gallery which loads the images within the page. It’s well made and elegant, but some more customization options could be there. Least.js uses jQuery for operation.

Transit is a jQuery plugin for creating super-smooth animations better than jQuery’s .animate() does.

Transit allows animating, rotating, skewing, transforming and much many other things.

It’s also seems easy to use and degrades somewhat gracefully. Although this plugin has merit by itself, it’d be nice to see some unit tests comparing it with jQuery’s animate.

Windows is a plugin for creating full-screen scrolling windows.

Basically, the plugin creates as many scrolling windows as you like, allowing to place arrays of content into scrollable goodness.

Windows automatically centers the ‘window’ that takes the most part of the screen, so it’s easy for users to enjoy the full-screen experience this plugin strives to provide.

As a side note, the name of this plugin illustrates that websites like ours here are much in need. Imagine how hard it’d be to find a plugin like this if you hadn’t seen it here – not to mention the problem of actually finding this plugin on Google.

simplePagination.js is a Bootstrap-compatible pagination plugin.

simplePagination.js ships together with three beautiful themes. It can be heavily customized and has a number of methods for thoroughly manipulating the plugin.

Overall this is a very simple plugin, but it’s also very light and does what it says on the box.

MixItUp is a CSS3/jQuery-powered filter & sort plugin.

MixItUp orders filtered and sorted plugins with animated motions. It’s great for fluid and responsive layouts, such as those for blogs, portfolios, galleries and more — the developers have even created a playing card demo.

It’s well documented and the website of the plugin does well to showcase the different things you can do with this plugin.

The sole drawback is — you guessed it — browser support: only modern browsers and IE10 are supported at the moment.

jQuery has gotten richer in features throughout the years — but it’s also gotten bigger and can contain many features a developer won’t want to use.

jQuery Builder helps making a custom build of jQuery, allowing developers to choose which modules to include or not.

The builder is also available for the Node.js command line tool. This is a very nice way of reducing the load time for your websites.
