Science

17 March 1958, a small satellite, the size of a grapefruit is launched. It’s still in orbit.

Development

Web development :: front-end

To provide a guided tour or highlight some information or dim others blocks, the driver.js library is lightweight and claim to have no dependency.

Graphics look sometimes awesome with a rough handmade-like look and feel, and the rough JavaScript library helps to draw such SVG paths with the  HTML5 Canvas API.

The TOAST UI Chart library  is a simple data vizualisation library offering chart components. On a similar topic, if there is a need to integrate charts in a dashboard or to build administration interface, Tabler is a theme based on Bootstrap to do so.

Let’s end this section with animation. Unconventional effects in typography can be achieved with the Blotter library. A flexible and versatile animation library, Popmotion, is trending on GitHub, and contains classical interpolation but also offer some physics.

CLI

CLI in JavaScript seems to be trending: after the Hyper terminal, two libraries allow to create commands: oclif by Heroku and Ink if you wish to use React.

Meanwhile, if you like pretty output, a Python library, Hue, allows to handle easily color questions.
