I love finding more open source apps and resources every single day, especially if their under MIT which is one of the least restrictive (and sometimes confusing) of the bunch of licenses available to us. Today, I share with you Mason.js: Mason was created to solve a problem with most grid system currently available. Gaps. When using Masonry, Isotope or any of the other grid plugins out there sometimes your grid will contain gaps or ragged edges. Mason was made to fill those gaps in. Built on the idea of true masonry when a grid is constructed there are bound […]
Stringer: Open Source Self-Hosted RSS Reader
As many of you I’m a huge user of RSS – I still think there’s something powerful about that protocol and unless something dramatic changes I don’t see it leaving us anytime soon. Unfortunately, the applications that we use to read RSS seem to not stick around too long, the biggest and most recent example being Google Reader. I’ve already chosen my replacement for starters, which you can read about here: Feedly. But I’m not terribly happy with it although it does work so I’m still looking out for other alternatives and possibilities and I found one that got me excited […]
Gumby 2: Complete Front-End Framework
For those that spend an incredible amount of time working on the front-end of design we all have our unique toolkits that simplify and streamline our workflows. This may include a CSS framework (or two) that speed things up so that we can continue to churn out great work in a reasonable amount of time. Although I’ve been a long-time fan of Bootstrap but I’m not dogmatic meaning I am willing to try something new to see if it gives me a similar or better (hopefully) experience with front-end CSS development. So when I happened upon this new-ish framework that made […]
Bootstrap? Make Sure Your Licensing is Right!
A small reminder that if you’re using the popular Boostrap framework for your WordPress Themes that you include the right licensing details in your license details. This was brought up by Chip Bennett related to Apache and GPL compatibility, although it’s worth noting that Bootstrap is moving to MIT license. We use Bootstrap here on WP Daily as a child theme off Standard Theme so this applies to us as well.
Flight by Twitter: JavaScript Framework
Have you heard of Flight by Twitter? It’s a lightweight, component-based JavaScript framework that maps behavior to DOM nodes. Twitter uses it for their web applications. Built by the Twitter web team, Flight is distinct from existing JavaScript frameworks that you may be familiar with because this one doesn’t prescribe nor does it provide any particular approach to rending or sending dada to your web app: It’s agnostic to how requests are routed, which templating language you use or even if you render your HTML on the client or the server. While some web frameworks encourage developers to arrange their code […]
