ScrollReveal.js is a library to easily reveal elements as they enter the viewport. It’s very small in size, as its weight is roughly 3Kb if minified and gzipped. It has no dependencies, so you don’t need to add other libraries to use it like jQuery. In addition to the nice effects it supports, what I really like about this library is that you can use natural language to define the animation you want to run. ScrollReveal supports 3d rotation out of the box, but you may want to emphasize the effect by specifying a perspective property on your container.

Toshi is a complete implementation of the Bitcoin protocol, written in Ruby and backed by PostgreSQL. It provides a RESTful API that is ideal for building scalable web applications or analyzing blockchain data.
Toshi is designed to be fully compatible with Bitcoin Core. It performs complete transaction and block validation, and passes 100% of TheBlueMatt’s regression test suite. For much of the core protocol logic, Toshi makes use of the bitcoin-ruby library written and maintained by Julian Langschaedel.
Toshi was built at Coinbase, with the goal of replacing our core Bitcoin network infrastructure in the near future. It is currently in beta, and not recommended for production use until it has received sufficient testing from the Bitcoin community.

Foundation for Sites 6 has been designed to get your project from prototype to production more efficiently than ever before! It includes a wide range of modular and flexible components that are easily styled. These versatile and lightweight building blocks make it easy to bring your ideas to life. Total filesize of every component and class now weighs in at 60KB CSS & 84KB JS, with plenty of room to make them even smaller when selectively removing unused components.
All code snippets come with ARIA attributes and roles along with instructions on how to properly use these components. This helps ensure that every website built on Foundation 6 can be used anywhere, on any device, by anyone. The base styles act as a coded wireframe rather than a final design. Simpler CSS styles allow you to more easily modify them to fit your brand.

It has been tested on Chrome, Firefox, Internet Explorer 8+,Opera, Safari.

Simply put, CSSgram is a library for editing your images with Instagram-like filters directly in CSS. What we’re doing here is adding filters to the images as well as applying color and/or gradient overlays via various blending techniques to mimic these effects. This means less manual image processing and more fun filter effects on the web!
They are using pseudo-elements (i.e. :after) to create the filter effects, so you must apply these filters on a containing element (i.e. not a content-block like <img alt=”” />). The recommendation is to wrap your images in a <figure> tag.
Requirements: CSS

Codrops has just published a Page Stack Navigation template for a simple page stack navigation based on the Dribbble shot by Ilya Kostin, Stacked navigation. The idea is to show a navigation when clicking on the menu button and transform all pages in 3D and move them to the bottom of the viewport. The next two pages are shown in the back of the current page as a stack. When clicking on a menu item, the respective page comes up.
Requirements: CSS & JavaScript

Expose is a simple static site generator for photoessays. If you’re into photography, you probably have folders of images and videos. Expose is a Bash script that turns those images and videos into a photoessay. If you’re not a fan of that look, a Medium-style theme is included. It has been tested on Windows/Cygwin, OSX, and should be fine on Linux.
