People at Big Bite found it really annoying to have to calculate grid widths — especially within nested spaces — within his designs without ending up with crazy numbers of vertical guides or guide shapes. After not finding a tool that worked exactly how he wanted it too, they at Big Bite created Grid.Guide. Guide to solve the problem. It uses a max width and column count to calculate possible whole pixel column and gutter width combinations. It generates PNGs so you can drag or copy them straight into your designs. It’s free to use!

So I guess you already know the base id, class and descendant selectors. And this is quite enough for you to get the job done. If so, you’re missing out on a lot of stuff and most likely your code is pretty messy. I know that sometimes it’s hard to remember all of them so lets go through the ones that are quite interesting, rare and most importantly really useful. Technically, CSS doesn’t have the ability to count an element’s siblings.
However, Heydon recently showed us what he calls Quantity Queries: a clever combination of :nth-last-child(), :first-child, and ~ to style elements based on how many elements are in a single parent. Quantity Queries is a tool designed to help build and understand Quantity Queries.

Styleguide is a tool to make creating and maintaining styleguides easy. All you need to do is to add the Styleguide to a separate folder in your project. Use it as your CSS. You just need to import the generated file inside your HTML and you are all set! This way the Styleguide will be synced with your project. Isn’t that awesome!?
Just copy your project’s CSS and paste it in the Styleguide CSS file. Now you only need to customize the modules to use the proper classes. You can always create/edit any module when you need. The Styleguide is also a independent project. You can download it and use it in your browser. Then all you need to do is edit it’s CSS and set/customize the modules. When you are finished you can send the files to a server or use the HTML version.

Image Blur Plugin is an Ultra small plugin (4kb minified, 1.5kb gzipped) for Blurring images. This plugin utilizes SVG filter to blur the image if SVG is supported by the browser (all except IE), otherwise the plugin creates an IMG tag and applies a special IE-only filter in CSS. If you are using Velocity.js animation library, the plugin will automatically detect its presence and make fade in/fade out animations more performant, especially on mobile. If Velocity is not present on the page, jQuery’s “animate” is used.

Codyhouse has put together a set of Page Scroll Effects, they are some fancy effects that take place while the user is surfing through the sections of a web page. Some of the effects are quite extreme, but they can prove very useful if your goal is to create an immersive user experience. All animations have been created using Velocity.js.
Please note that these effects are not visible on small devices, where the user can simply scroll through the list of sections. They have tested the effects on mobile and performance was poor, therefore they decided to limit them to bigger and more powerful devices.
Requirements: JavaScript Framework
