Gumroad

Nilesh Manohar — Thu, 10 May 2012 17:28:38 +0000

If you can share it, you can sell it.

Gumroad serves to democratize the ability to sell stuff online. You’re a creative person; you create a lot of content. But most of it sits, archived, on some computer somewhere for the rest of time.

It’s either too hard, or too time-consuming, or it doesn’t even make sense to put in a store! Gumroad lets you easily sell the stuff you haven’t been able to, yet.

It turns out, that includes a lot of stuff:

Beta previews of a video game you are developing.
Some music that you never released. Your fans would love this.
Unused illustrations you spent hours and hours working on.
The source code of a killer app you developed.

And much, much more!

Nilesh Manohar — Wed, 21 Mar 2012 09:55:17 +0000

Graphene is a realtime dashboard & graphing toolkit based on D3 and Backbone. It was made to offer a very aesthetic realtime dashboard that lives on top of Graphite (but could be tailored to any back end, eventually).

Combining D3’s immense capabilities of managing live data, and Backbone’s ease of development, Graphene provides a solution capable of displaying thousands upon thousands of datapoints in your dashboard, as well as presenting a very hackable project to build on and customize.

Adding Alert Bubbles for Favicon Image with Tinycon

Nilesh Manohar — Thu, 16 Feb 2012 12:05:27 +0000

Tinycon allows the addition of alert bubbles and changing the favicon image. Tinycon gracefully falls back to a number in title approach for browers that don’t support canvas or dynamic favicons.

Alerts in the favicon allow users to pin a tab and easily see if their attention is needed. You can look up and check out the favicon on the example page to see the library in action on chrome and firefox.

JavaScript Templating Engine by Twitter

Hogan.js is a 2.5k JavaScript templating engine developed at Twitter. You can use it as a part of your asset packager to compile templates ahead of time or include it in your browser to handle dynamic templates.

Hogan.js was developed against the mustache test suite. That means you get variables, sections, lambdas, partials, filters, and everything else you’ve come to expect from mustache templating but only much, much faster.

Generate Consistent Color Palette with Colllor

Nilesh Manohar — Thu, 16 Feb 2012 12:02:26 +0000

With Colllor it is much easier to generate a consistent color palette with just a few clicks. You should use colors consistently, so you have a common look and feel throughout your design. All the alternative proposals produced by Colllor derive from the same color and they all have a common denominator sharing hue, lightness or saturation values.

Colllor will let you find the exact value of darker shades of any color, not just something that ‘looks darker’. That will be a huge step towards professionally looking color combinations. And also, you can use plain English or Hex color names.
