Telepat is an open-source backend stack, designed to deliver information and information updates in real-time to clients, while allowing for flexible deployment and simple scaling. Telepat empowers modern apps for the real-time age.
Classic Web APIs deliver on-demand, static information snapshots to clients. Data soon gets outdated, and cannot be synced between multiple clients. Instead of working with data snapshots that get stale, Telepat pushes all new information from the central node to all subscribed devices, instantly.

People at Big Bite found it really annoying to have to calculate grid widths — especially within nested spaces — within his designs without ending up with crazy numbers of vertical guides or guide shapes. After not finding a tool that worked exactly how he wanted it too, they at Big Bite created Grid.Guide. Guide to solve the problem. It uses a max width and column count to calculate possible whole pixel column and gutter width combinations. It generates PNGs so you can drag or copy them straight into your designs. It’s free to use!

So I guess you already know the base id, class and descendant selectors. And this is quite enough for you to get the job done. If so, you’re missing out on a lot of stuff and most likely your code is pretty messy. I know that sometimes it’s hard to remember all of them so lets go through the ones that are quite interesting, rare and most importantly really useful. Technically, CSS doesn’t have the ability to count an element’s siblings.
However, Heydon recently showed us what he calls Quantity Queries: a clever combination of :nth-last-child(), :first-child, and ~ to style elements based on how many elements are in a single parent. Quantity Queries is a tool designed to help build and understand Quantity Queries.

The Styleguide is also a independent project. You can download it and use it in your browser. Then all you need to do is edit it’s CSS and set/customize the modules.

Image Blur Plugin is an Ultra small plugin (4kb minified, 1.5kb gzipped) for Blurring images. This plugin utilizes SVG filter to blur the image if SVG is supported by the browser (all except IE), otherwise the plugin creates an IMG tag and applies a special IE-only filter in CSS. If you are using Velocity.js animation library, the plugin will automatically detect its presence and make fade in/fade out animations more performant, especially on mobile. If Velocity is not present on the page, jQuery’s “animate” is used.
Requirements: JavaScript Framework
