About two months ago, I realized I have collected so many open source resources for building websites or web applications. I think it would be such a waste if I am having them for myself only.
And also, as a freelancer, we do always look for some resources on the web to aid our development. However, I found some of the sites are overloaded with too many not so good resources. I personally would like to spend more time on development rather than spending the time on picking the best from a list of 100+ resources that doing the same thing.
Therefore, I would like to share all my findings of open source resources at the same time picking only the best from the list for you. Once Webappers was opened to public, I received so much encouraging feedback about how useful Webappers is. WebAppers is gowing rapidly and just gained 1000+ subscribers today in less than 2 months time ( I know it will go down a bit on weekends, but breaking 1000 readers really is a milestone for WebAppers ). I am really happy and I will try my best to continue finding more open source resources for you everyday at the same time maintain the quality of the resources.
If you have any comments for WebAppers, please feel free to leave a comment! And also I would like to know what kind of resources you would like, more Gallery? Components? Brushes?
P.S. If you like WebAppers, introduce it to your readers is really appreciate!!!
Thank you for all of your support!
MochiBot is a Flash traffic monitoring tool that tracks the performance of individual Flash content files (SWFs) no matter where they end up on the web. If your SWF is on 5 different servers, then MochiBot will count the number of views that SWF got for all 5 servers. You simply copy and paste a few lines of ActionScript from MochiBot into your Flash file (FLA), and publish the SWF. Every time your Flash content is played, MochiBot sends a signal to our servers indicating where it is and that it’s being played.

SlickSpeed CSS Selectors Test tests the CSS selectors in every browser, whether or not the browser included xpath. It is written in simple PHP and plain JavaScript. No framework is used in the suite JavaScript file, as the point of it is to test frameworks against each other. This avoids favoritism. Also, each framework runs in its own iframe, so no prototyping conflicts can happen. So that we can have a rough idea of the speed of running the CSS selectors.
