Discourse is a from-scratch reboot, an attempt to reimagine what a modern, sustainable, fully open-source Internet discussion platform should be today. They tried to build the community that has a natural immune system to defend itself from trolls, bad actors, and spammers. There’s also a trust system, so engaged community members can assist in the governance of their community.
The act of participating in a discussion should fundamentally feel good in a way that it currently does not on all existing forums and mailing lists. It should be fun to have discussions with other human beings, not a chore, or something that’s barely tolerable.

BoardJS is a JavaScript library that simplifies the way of making interactive presentations, stories and ads.
The library works by writing commands such as adding texts, images, moving objects and showing tooltips, and once the .go() function is called, commands will be executed one by one.
The list of commands will be interpreted in the library as a timeline.
If you are familiar with animations in Microsoft Office, you will notice that BoardJS is the a bit the same but for developers and more interaction.
The benefits and features of the library are:
- Optimized and fast
- Cross browser and platform
- Changes the presentation without refreshing the page
- Applies commands to more than one object at a time
- Easy to update presentations
- Uses only HTML, JavaScript and CSS
- You can add multiple shows in the same page.
Take a look at the examples in the BoardJS’s site. If you get familiar with commands, any presentation should take about 30 minutes to finish the code.

Top Drawer is a smooth dropdown menu for responsive web design. It is designed to demonstrate smoother reveal menus in small contexts using CSS3 rather than animating with JavaScript.
Tap the menu icon in the top right. The click event will assign the class of active to the drawer container which alters the translate value to bring it into view. Modernizr will detect whether the user’s device is capable of CSS transforms, if it isn’t we simply show and hide the menu after the button is pressed – no point in animating if it isn’t going to work smoothly.
