Echo is a standalone JavaScript lazy-loading image tool. Echo is fast and uses HTML5 data-* attributes. Echo works in IE8+. Echo.js is probably as simple as image lazy loading gets, it’s less than 1KB minified and is library agnostic (no jQuery/Zepto/other).
Lazy-loading works by only loading the assets needed when the elements ‘would’ be in view, which it’ll get from the server for you upon request, which is automated by simply changing the image src attribute. This is also an asynchronous process which also benefits us.

The web is flat, but now you can fold it up. OriDomi is an open source JavaScript library that folds up DOM elements like paper. OriDomi does plenty of DOM manipulation behind the scenes to create what you see.
OriDomi compositions adapt to dynamic dimensions just as well as normal elements. This means that if your OriDomi composition’s size is changed by percentage-based sizing, media queries, CSS transitions, scripting, et cetera, the panels will resize themselves relative to their parent container.
OriDomi requires a modern browser with support for CSS3 transforms, particularly preserve-3d support. You may notice that OriDomi looks significantly worse in Firefox compared to WebKit browsers.

Most people are familiar with Tim Brown’s Modular Scale calculator. The site has raised awareness about scale and helped to improve typography on the web. It’s also the inspiration for this project.
The Modular Scale site has been a great reference over the years, but sometimes it’s difficult to choose the proper scale without a visual reference. That’s why Jeremy Church has created Type Scale to bridge that gap.
