What is HelpOnClick?
It is a web-based live support chat application that can be integrated into any website within minutes with just a copy-paste of an HTML code.
The application shows visitors in real-time, presents detailed info about them and enables them to start a conversation with you or you can choose to push a conversation with them.
Multiple support staff can use it at the same time, transfer chats between each other and use tools like "canned responses" for a faster communication.
HelpOnClick has an advanced reports and statistics system for analyzing the support department easily (number of support requests/day, operator statistics, etc.).
Its look and feel can be changed with theming support to reflect your website's identity and every text or icon can be customized.

When creating a web application or a software, it is usually a good idea to search for resources, like snippets, plugins, etc., that can ease the job.
Cocoa Controls is a website which offers this functionality to iOS and Mac OS X developers by listing open source and custom UI components for these platforms.
There are already 150+ controls (like this awesome iCarousel) where new ones are added regularly. Also, you can submit new resources as well.
P.S. What would be greater is a categorization of the controls so they can be found much easier.

jCanvas is a plugin for jQuery that simplifies using HTML5 canvas with various methods offered.

It is possible to define the dimensions of the canvas, where the drawing will start from (x, y) and much more.
For styling, colors can be mentioned as names, HEX, RGB or RGBA, and gradients or patterns can be used.
The plugin is being improved and new features are improved frequently.

Flash is losing blood, that's for sure and there is a chance that you may have already quit using it. However, it is still the most powerful platform on creating animations for the web and there can be cases that we need it.
Giotto is a free tool (Windows-only), focused on designers rather than developers, for creating Flash animations easily.
It has a Flash-like but a little simplified user interface that helps you feel comfortable using it with ready-to-use effects, ability to draw or import shapes and built-in animations (all without coding).
If you prefer to dive into ActionScript code, there is support for that too (but sadly, only AS1 and AS2)

We generally use one of the popular JavaScript frameworks like jQuery, YUI, MooTools or Prototype for web projects even if the project only needs a very small part of the functionality.
Such a usage ends up in bigger-sized web pages although it can be prevented easily by using "to-the-point" micro frameworks.
Microjs is a website which is a directory of such tiny (<5kb) JavaScript libraries and frameworks.
From a list of options, you can select the feature you need like: a base framework, CSS animation, data manipulation, etc. and it'll present you the resources that can meet your requirements.
Although getting used to new frameworks may seem like a "loss of time", it'll probably pay back in load times (specially for the mobile).

There are many resources that ease creating websites with HTML5 (as they are shared at WRD regularly) like JavaScript-based solutions that HTML5-enable older browsers or CSS-Reset files that remove browser styling incompatibilities.
G5 is a framework for building PHP-powered HTML5 websites which makes use of such popular resources (like Modernizr, jQuery, CSS3 Pie, etc.).
It has many features like:
- robots.txt / robots meta for the search engines
- GZip for faster page load
- preventing CSS caching
- sticky footer
- always forcing latest IE rendering engine (even in intranet) & Chrome Frame
- smooth scroll-to-top
- shorthand CSS / some basic reusable classes
- and more..
The design has a 940px total content width and in "F" shape by default but can be updated in anyway desired.
Also, G5 includes widely-used items like an image slider (Orbit), tool tips (Tipsy) and modal boxes (Reveal).

For many web designers and developers, Firebug is probably one of most vital tools while building and debugging web apps.
FlashFirebug is an extension to Firebug which aims to fill this gap for AS3 Flash files by easing Flash debugging as easy as HTML and JavaScript.
Besides Firebug, it requires Flash Player content debugger 10 or higher and enables us to inspect display list, change properties and see the warnings, errors + traces for any Flash file.
It can also work with multiple Flash files on a web page and display the elements inside the file as a directory tree.
The extension is designed to perform fast and, optionally, it can be disabled to be used only when it is needed.
