For websites that are selling stuff or dealing with currencies, -like displaying prices of products, presenting parities (business-economy sites), multilanguage web apps- having the up-to-date exchange rates is pretty important.
Open Source Exchange Rates API is a free-to-use service that makes these rates reachable -updated every hour- in a clean JSON format.
The service collects all the exchange rates from the Google Calculator API (one by one) and pushes them in JSON format to a public GitHub code repository where everyone can reach.
It integrates tightly with Money.js, which is a must-bookmark JavaScript library for currency conversion.
Also, the data can be reached historically again in a simple API call.

Almost every browser comes with its own CSS prefix like -webkit-, -moz- or -o- which usually ends up in several repeated and unused CSS rules.
PrefixFree is a script which enables us to use CSS properties without vendor-specific prefixes.
At the backend, it detects the browser of users and adds only the prefixes needed to the CSS rules.
It works for both external (<link>) and inline (<style>) styles. PrefixFree even finds elements with style attribute and processes them too.
The script is standalone but there is also an optional jQuery plugin provided.

Animations like fade in/fade out or bounce are used almost everywhere, thanks to the ease that JS frameworks are offering, to create attractive user experiences.
Many of these animations actually have equivalents in CSS and Animate.css eases the usage of them.
It is a single CSS file that includes various rules for animations like flash, bounce, shake and multiple fades, rotates + bounces.
Each animation comes as a class. As CSS animations have native hardware acceleration, they work much smoother compared to JS animations. However, it'll be a good practice to have JS animations as a fallback.
