selfoss is an open source and lightweight web application that can fetch content from any number of sources.
RSS is the content type supported by default, however, with its plugin system, any new source types (log files, e-mails, etc.) can be implemented by adding a single class.
The application has a simple-yet-functional interface which also supports navigating via keyboard.
It is also flexible in means of the database used; you can either go with MySQL, SQLite or MongoDB.

The Goldilocks Approach is a boilerplate/starting point for creating responsive websites.
It offers a slightly different practice from the most other responsive design frameworks which is: "targeting every resolution/device rather than only the popular ones".
The boilerplate uses a combination of ems, max-width, media queries and pattern translations to consider just three states:
- multi column (too big space)
- narrow column (too small space)
- single column (just right space).
which allow the designs to be resolution independent.
It includes a HTML file, 2 well-commented CSS files (with nice typographic defaults -including print contexts-) and Modernizr.

We need your opinion! One of the features we’re adding to WordPress 3.3 (currently in beta 3) is intended to reduce widget pain. Say you’re using Theme A and you have a handful of widgets set up. You switch to Theme B, and it has different widget areas, so you add/remove/edit your widgets. Then you realize that you hate Theme B. “This theme doesn’t represent my innermost soul!” you cry to the heavens. You switch back to Theme A, but because it had different widget areas, now your widgets are messed up. Argh, right? Not for long!
Imagine being able to change themes and modify widgets as needed, and if you decided to go back to your old theme, it would return your widgets to how they were the last time you had that theme activated. Sounds good, yeah? The problem we’re facing is deciding how long to save the old widget configuration, since there are so many potential workflows. If you changed From Theme A to Theme B and added more widgets over the next few weeks, if you switched back to Theme A after a month, would you still expect it to go back to the widgets from a month ago? At what point does it go from handy timesaver to unexpected widget mangler? What do you think?

Player Framework is an open source video player framework for HTML5, Silverlight, Windows Phone and other platforms.
It offers a JavaScript API for controlling the player where the API methods are the same on both the HTML5 and Silverlight versions.
Such a consistency is very handy for using any of the versions as a fallback of the other with almost no extra coding.
The framework has support for playlists using an array of media items or using a link to a media RSS feed.
W3C timed text (TTML) for captions can be used and there are controls like volume, mute, fullscreen, poster-displaying.
Player Framework is modular, can be extended easily and its look/feel can be customized using CSS.

Many designers/developers were excited to see the launch of the jQuery Mobile ~a year ago and waited for the stable release to start building for mobile.
With an announcement yesterday, the project officially reached to its first stable release.
jQuery Mobile already supports a huge set of mobile browsers, has the ThemeRoller for mobile and it is very well-documented with guides + examples for an easy start.
The framework includes many widgets for (touch-optimized) mobile layouts: toolbars, buttons, pages/dialogs, content formatting, list views and forms. All built on jQuery core for a familiar and consistent syntax.

IM.js is a JavaScript library that can find the differences between images very quickly.
It scans the given images pixel-by-pixel using HTML5 canvas and outputs their similarity ratios.
The developer has created IM.js for auto-testing the similarity of URL snapshots taken from different browsers which is a great idea for quickly finding out any rendering differences or problems. It can also be used for many other cases like detecting duplicate images.
And, besides the ratio, it can create a canvas where the two different images are joined for easily seeing the differences at one sight.

Minimizing the size of images is an important part of the process for creating faster loading web pages.
We usually play with various variables while saving images to make sure they are optimized like the colors used, file type or quality but there can still be some bytes hidden.
Kraken, a free to use web application, finds those bytes and optimizes the images with a user-friendly interface.
It has support for adding multiple images (up to 20, max 1mb each) via drag 'n' drops, selecting from disk or getting from a URL and quickly uploads + optimizes them.
P.S. The application accepts .JPEG and .PNG files

It is always good to know the cons and pros of tools we are using before starting a new project with them in order not to be disappointed later on.
A frequently-updated chart by Markus Falk does this for the mobile frameworks as there is a detailed comparison of their capabilities.
The chart displays the rendering engines supported, target platform, hardware, development languages, UI features and license for each framework.
Also, if you already have strict requirements for the project, a wizard helps filtering the frameworks and fastens the process of choosing the right one.
