Web Excursions for October 09, 2014
Web Excursions are select bookmarks from my travels around the interwebs, because I'm always thinking about you while discovering other people's cool stuff. You mean that much to me. You can see all of my (public) bookmarks on Pinboard, and visit the bookmarks archive for curated lists across the last few years.
Web excursions brought to you in partnership with MindMeister, the best collaborative mind mapping software out there.
- LaunchBar multiple selections
- I don’t know if other LaunchBar users have been as slow to pick up the new “staging” feature in LB 6 as I have, but once it becomes habit, it’s awesome.
- colourcode - find your colour scheme
- A cool tool for rapid color scheme creation. It can export PNG, CSS, Sass, and LESS files.
- SweetAlert
- If you’re a front end web developer, alert boxes and confirmation dialogs are an important tool. This is a fast, good-looking way to ditch
alert()
without much effort. - jQuery Adaptive Backgrounds
- A jQuery plugin for extracting dominant colors from images and applying it to its parent. Pretty cool effect.
- terminal.sexy - Terminal Color Scheme Designer
- I love these things.
- Pinswift Update for iOS 8
- Great review from Gabe Weatherhead of my current favorite iOS Pinboard app.
