Packery is a JavaScript layout library that uses a bin-packing algorithm. This is a fancy way of saying “it fills empty gaps.†Packery layouts can be intelligently ordered or organically wild. Elements can be stamped in place, fit in an ideal spot, or dragged around.
For non-commercial, personal, or open source projects and applications, you may use Packery under the terms of the MIT License. You may use Packery for free. Packery may be used in commercial projects and applications, but it requires a one-time purchase of a commercial license though.

Sails.js makes it easy to build custom, enterprise-grade Node.js apps. It is designed to resemble the MVC architecture from frameworks like Ruby on Rails, but with support for the more modern, data-oriented style of web app development. It’s especially good for building realtime features like chat.
Sails.js API scaffolding is nothing like Rails scaffolding. Instead, Sails automatically builds a RESTful JSON API for your models. And here’s the thing, it supports HTTP and WebSockets. By default, for every controller you create, you get the basic CRUD operations created automatically.
Requirements: Node.js Framework

Nested is a jQuery plugin which allows you to create multi-column, dynamic grid layouts. Unlike other libraries and jQuery plugins similar to Nested, this is the first script out there that allows you a complete gap-free layout.
It creates a matrix of all elements and creates a multi column grid, similar to other libraries and scripts out there. Then it scans the maxtric for gaps and tries to fill them by reordering the elements. This is exactly how other newer libraries, scripts and modifications behave but if you stop here, the result will sometime leave unwanted gaps as well. That is why there is an option to resize any element at the bottom of the grid that is bigger (or smaller if you prefer) than the gap to make the grid completely gap-free.
Requirements: jQuery Framework
