Most of us are familiar with the Lazy Load plugin by Mika Tuupola. This is very useful and it boosts performance delaying loading of images in long web pages because images outside of viewport won’t be loaded until the user scrolls to them.
Lazy Load has some cool options such as custom effects, container, events or data attribute. If you’re not gonna use any of them you can reduce the file size by leaving just the essential code to show the images. That’s what jQuery Unveil does, it is the lightweight version of Lazy Load with support for serving high-resolution images to devices with retina displays – less than 1k.

FlipClock.js was created because the other solutions weren’t abstract enough to provide a deep level of customization without rewriting the code. Some libraries have a huge cascade of conditionals, while others simply hard-code too much into their scripts.
After reviewing as many of the existing solutions as possible, it was determined a proper extendible API needed to be written to create any kind of clock or counter (and the flip effect is just cool). You can use FlipClick.js as a clock, timer or countdown.
