Exciting Projects I Watched In February

Posted: March 6th, 2010 | Author: Jerod | Filed under: GitHub Watch | View Comments

Another month, another handful of great open-source projects I found on GitHub. Let’s get straight to it, shall we?


RLOfflineDataStoreA simple Cappuccino wrapper for html5 offline data storage.

SlickGridA lightening fast JavaScript grid/spreadsheet. Finding a quality client-side grid tool is tough. This might just be one.

Textmate-MinimapA minimap plugin for TextMate. So great for those overly sized source documents we all hate to admit we have.

BundlerGemfiles 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.

quicksandjQuery plugin. Reorder and filter items with a nice shuffling animation. GORGEOUS!

rack-codehighlighterRack Middleware for code highlighting. This will power my blog’s syntax highlighting when I switch platforms to toto (see below).

rubyThe Ruby Programming Language. The official git mirror.

ruby-ciscoCisco Library for Ruby. Remote control Cisco routers with ease.

tipsyFacebook-style tooltips plugin for jQuery. I’m using these on almost every new project.

totothe 10 second blog-engine for hackers. So awesome. Stay tuned for more on toto in the coming weeks.


That’s it for now!
