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.

Vertical timeline is so far one of the most popular resources on CodyHouse. Many people have asked them to include a Horizontal Timeline as well. Here it is! Building a horizontal timeline was a bit tricky, because you can’t rely on the vertical (more intuitive) scrolling behaviour. They decided to separate timeline and events, with the first one working like a slider, while the second one occupying the full width and showing a single event at a time.
About the timeline: the position of each date along the timeline is set using jQuery. Dates are not equally distributed along the timeline, but the distance between a date and the next one is proportional to the difference between these dates.
Requirements: jQuery Framework

Would you like a Stretchy Navigation in CSS and jQuery? It’s a rounded navigation trigger that stretches on click/tap to reveal the navigation items. There are 3 different user cases where this snippet would be useful: 1) fixed navigation, 2) add content button and 3) edit content button. The HTML structure is pretty basic: a div is used to wrap an unordered list (containing the navigation items) and an trigger (for the menu icon). An additional span element is used to create the stretchy background.
