Exciting Projects I Watched in February
06 Mar 2010
Another month, another handful of great open-source projects I found on GitHub. Let’s get straight to it, shall we?
RLOfflineDataStore - A simple Cappuccino wrapper for html5 offline data storage.
SlickGrid - A lightening fast JavaScript grid/spreadsheet. Finding a quality client-side grid tool is tough. This might just be one.
Textmate-Minimap - A minimap plugin for TextMate. So great for those overly sized source documents we all hate to admit we have.
Bundler - Gemfiles are fun. - Like it or not, this will be the de facto for managing ruby gems. Might as well embrace it.
jquery-ujs - Rails 3 has embraced unobtrusive JavaScript, and this is the official rails.js for jQuery.
quicksand - jQuery plugin. Reorder and filter items with a nice shuffling animation. GORGEOUS!
rack-codehighlighter - Rack Middleware for code highlighting. This will power my blog’s syntax highlighting when I switch platforms to toto (see below).
ruby - The Ruby Programming Language. The official git mirror.
ruby-cisco - Cisco Library for Ruby. Remote control Cisco routers with ease.
tipsy - Facebook-style tooltips plugin for jQuery. I’m using these on almost every new project.
toto - the 10 second blog-engine for hackers. So awesome. Stay tuned for more on toto in the coming weeks.
That’s it for now!
