GitHub Survivor is a simple bug dashboard that shows an overview of bugs in a GitHub-hosted repo. 99designs is using it at to keep an eye on the bug count and remind themselves to close bugs.
It’s easy to forget about bugs when you’re knee-deep in feature development. This dashboard is a good way to keep bugs on people’s minds, and to show at-a-glance information about the current bug situation. GitHub Survivor scrapes your bug data using the GitHub API and stores it in your local Mongo DB for subsequent querying.
A bug leaderboard occupies the bulk of the screen. It shows who’s closed the most bugs this sprint and who’s forgotten to spend some time fixing bugs. There are charts showing the number of bugs opened and closed in recent sprints, the open bug count over time, and a big indicator showing the current open bug count.

Motio is a jQuery plugin for simple but powerful sprite based animations and panning. Motio is called on an element representing animation container, where animation is delivered as a CSS background image.
In sprite based animations, container should have the dimensions of one sprite frame. E.g, if you have 10 frames in a horizontal sprite that is 1000 x 100 pixels big, the container should be 100 x 100 pixels big. In panning, container size doesn’t play any role, just the background image should be seamless.
Integrated Motio on/off methods are using jQuery $.Callbacks API, which is in jQuery sice 1.7+. If you can’t use newer versions of jQuery, you can go for jQuery bind/unbind methods called on a frame element, with ‘motio:’ prefix on all event names.
Requirements: jQuery Framework

Every project needs analytics. But you shouldn’t have to litter your codebase with third-party-specific calls. Changing or adding new services should be a snap.
That’s where analytics.js comes in! Instead of adding hooks for every single analytics service you integrate, you add a single set of provider-agnostic hooks that then route to any analytics service you want! Analytics.js gives you a hassle-free way to integrate analytics into any web application.

Shapeshift is a plugin which will dynamically arrange a collection of elements into a grid in their parent container. Shapeshift is intended to be a very bare bones version of these grid systems, however the drag and drop is what sets it apart from the other similar plugins. Position any item within the grid by dragging and dropping them into place. Shapeshift will try to find a logical place for it and display that to you.
Resizing the grid to accommodate for more or less space is automatically turned on in Shapeshift, so if your parent container has a 100% grid resizing the window will shapeshift the child objects around to accommodate for the new layout. You can even set CSS3 media queries on your objects and watch as they get shapeshifted around their new size.
Requirements: jQuery Framework
