Adding relevant images to static prototypes is a pain, that is why folks tend to fill them in with placeholders. If you really want to add an image, you have to search for it, download it, crop it to right size, and then add it to your prototype. That is until now.
flickrBomb is an easy way for you to fill your prototypes with relevant content, and not just those dull gray placeholder images. Hover over the images and click the wrench icon to see flickrBomb in action.

The jQuery documentation is great, very complete, nicely written and with a lot of examples and demos. However, it is difficult to find the right documentation for what we search for. Try to search for the .is() function for example. Over 100 matches before the actual function we are looking for. And it is a fixed layout.
jQAPI is an Alternative jQuery Documentation, which is very fast and slick. The navigation becomes much more easier. And the style is clean and comfortable to use. In my opinion, it should be the best alternative jQuery documentation out there.
