Fixie.js is a one-gear library for automatically adding filler content to HTML documents.
Fixie can fix you up with several types of content:
A library like this would be worth using only if it was quick to implement; fortunately, such is the case with Fixie, which impeccably solves the daunting task of adding content to fresh websites.
Drink Coffee is a terminal application helper that runs on Node.
Drink Coffee has an interesting API that features methods like sip, gulp, stir, etc., which is quite confusing, but also somewhat funny.
Drink Coffee can potentially keep any terminal session alive, so it’s useful for creating an IRC client, and, as the author implies, it’s also convenient for storing data acquired from real-time sources such as Twitter.
Cubism.js is a D3 plugin for visualizing time series.
Cubism fetches time series incrementally, and reduces server load by fetching only the recent values.
Cubism is great for improving a dashboard. The library currently supports Graphite and Cube data sources, but it’s flexible and allows adding other data sources.
limit.js is a library for limiting JavaScript events and calls.
limit.js features two methods: debouncing and throttling.
Debouncing executes an event after a specific amount of time has elapsed (for stress tests, I suppose), and throttling limits executing a function only once in a set amount of time–good for reducing load off the user.
Krasota.js (from Russian ‘???????’ — ’beauty’) is a library for beautifying JavaScript code.
Beauty will save the world, that’s for sure, especially as the library forces semicolons; it can also remove excess whitespaces, etc.
Krasota.js can be run from the command line, and through require(‘krasota’) in terms of raw OmetaJS grammar.
locache.js is a framework for caching objects on the client-side.
locache is just 4kb minified, but still delivers in terms of features:
locache is a great supplement for data-intensive applications that need code re-using or capability for offline use.
