Using text to create images is a really unique and entertaining approach to creating graphics. The really neat thing is that you can do it yourself with minimal effort.
Typo-Painter for Adobe Photoshop will quickly become your absolute favorite plugin in your artistic toolbox! This plugin lets you create a typographic painting from any image, using any text you’d like.
Since your word-filled photo is saved in an EPS format, you can edit, scale, and customize the results. Using a vector tool software like Adobe Illustrator or CorelDraw, you can easily edit the final results any way you’d like. Typo-Painter normally sells for $10, but for a limited time only, you can get this incredibly fun and useful tool for just $5. That’s a 50% savings off the regular price.
PourOver is a library for simple, fast filtering and sorting of large collections. It allows you to build data-exploration apps and archives that run at 60fps, that don’t have to to wait for a database call to render query results.
PourOver is built around the ideal of simple queries that can be arbitrarily composed with each other, without having to recalculate their results. You can union, intersect, and difference queries. PourOver will remember how your queries were constructed and can smartly update them when items are added or modified. You also get useful features like collections that buffer their information periodically, views that page and cache, fast sorting, and much, much more.

Velocity is a jQuery plugin that re-implements $.animate() to produce significantly greater performance (making Velocity also faster than CSS animations) while including several new features to improve animation workflow.
Velocity outperforms jQuery at all levels of stress, Transit beginning at medium levels of stress, and GSAP beginning at high levels of stress. At minimum, Velocity is always on par with other engines. In just 7Kb, Velocity includes all of $.animate()’s features while also packing in color animation, transforms, loops, easings, class animation, and scrolling. Velocity is the best of jQuery, jQuery UI, and CSS transitions combined.

Minicron aims to complement cron by making it easier to manage and monitor cron jobs, it can largely be thought of as two components that interact together, the CLI and the Hub. The CLI is what is installed on your server(s) and executes your cron command and reports the status back to the Hub.
The Hub is the central point where data from one or many instances of the CLI is received and stored in a database. The Hub also provides a web interface to the data and makes it easy to manage your cron jobs.
