With Rollerblade, you can easily give your webpage visitors a great 360° viewing experience with your products, images, or anything else you can think of. Rollerblade targets a container element with an image element inside that has the class of “rollerblade-img”. Make the src of the image the path to the first image in your rotator.
Rollerblade.js works on desktops, tablets, and smartphones (touch enabled). For all mobile devices, the rollerblade rotator will be activated when a user slides their finger from left to right. Image preloading is used to cache the images from your array to make sure the rotator performs as fast as possible. Rollerblade.js works well in IE9+.

Image Comparison Slider is a handy draggable slider to quickly compare 2 images, powered by CSS3 and jQuery. When you create a product page, there are some effective UX solutions that can be used to make the user ‘feel’ the product.
A comparison image slider is one of those. If you look at the Sony Ultra HD TV product page, they use this approach to emphasize the difference between their display resolution and a standard one. Google uses it to show how cool is a Google+ Photos filter.
Requirements: CSS3 and jQuery Framework

Chartist.js is a simple responsive charting library built with SVG. Chartist’s goal is to provide a simple, lightweight and non-intrusive library to responsive craft charts on your website. It’s important to understand that one of the main intentions of Chartist.js is to rely on standards rather than providing a own solution to the problem which is is already solved by the standard.
Chartist works with inline-SVG and therefore leverages the power of the DOM to provide parts of its functionality. This also means that Chartist is not providing it’s own event handling, labels, behaviors and anything else that can just be done with plain HTML, JavaScript and CSS.
Requirements: JavaScript Framework

There are some simple ideas and effects for unobtrusive website notifications. There are a lot of ways to show an unobtrusive message to a user: from the classic growl-like notification to a bar at the top of the viewport.
There’s really no limit to making creative notification styles and effects but you should keep in mind that notification has to be a discreet message to the user, keep simplicity and subtlety in mind for the effect of appearance and also the disappearance.
Codrops has shared a small set of Notification Style Variations that use CSS animations for showing and hiding the notifications. Some of them are preceded by a dummy loading animation, which could be a nice idea for specific actions that require some time in a system.
