Tridiv is a web-based editor for creating 3D shapes in CSS. It provides a traditional four-pane interface that gives a view from each plane, as well as a preview pane showing the final object. It’s possible to create extremely sophisticated objects and animations with Tridiv.
Garnier suggests that a good use-case for Tridiv is in creating logo animations similar to the one he uses on the landing page: “No JavaScript is needed, and it runs pretty smoothly on iOS devices, which is a scenario in which JavaScript will fail most of the time. So I think it can be really be useful for logos and simple UI elements, where using JavaScript is probably not worth it.”

Ungit is a web-based UI for Git, written with Node. It makes Git repositories easier to visualise, a bit like gitk or git instaweb, but it has some GitHub-specific tweaks. It’s easy to use and a lot faster to navigate.
Once you’re running ungit, you can make commits, discard them, fetch remote changes – pretty much the standard Git operations you’re used to, with a friendlier workflow.
