Postach.io helps you instantly create custom sites using Evernote by converting your notes to blog posts and pages.
I am going to try and integrate lots of different services into this and see how it goes. Hopefully this post should appear there too!
Having spent the whole weekend playing with Meteor and NodeJS I have found that dates have been a pain in the bum. I have so far been using the excellent MomentJS but have been told to check out Sugar... Seems pretty amazesauce so far.
I am in love with Meteor... sos Rails.

Scrolling can be the programmers best friend or worst enemy. Sly makes life a lot easier by allowing you to access scrolling at low level, and the performance is blisteringly fast!
Time is a pain for developers in most languages, Javascript for sure! So it is nice to find a library that really helps simplify the process, and MomentJS is just that!
Topcoat is a really lovely looking UI set from Adobe. I really like the direction these are going in, and really love the mobile stuff in particular!
I am all to aware how precious space is on the Menu Bar of OSX and I try so hard to avoid installing apps that rely on it, but some things just work there, and Anvil is one of those. Anvil works alongside Pow (I am sure I will Tumbl this very soon) which creates any number of virtual 'racks' on your machine so that you can debug several web app projects on the go using a simple 'foldername.dev' URL. Pow is mostly known for providing this feature for Rails apps but it will actually work for any folder and Anvil will set it up really simply for you (rather than tracking lots of symlinks).
Preparing for the Terminal police to tell me off for being lazy...
One slight issue with JavaScript becoming more prevalent on the web is poor developers. Facebook came a cropper with this with their mobile Facebook app, which was horrifically inefficient and ground to halt all too often. Jankfree hopes to help developers learn how to avoid these poor programming pitfalls and give your JavaScript app a silky smoothness! It’s time to go Jedi.
Feel free to ask me anything. I am like a web genie!

Firstly, thanks to LM for sending this over, it is really a handy way to see an implemented Todo list project in all of the currently available Javascript-ish frameworks. That said, I bloody hate Todo lists being used for every proof of an MVC framework, but I can see the merit in comparing solutions using like for like projects, and given everyone else enjoys mocking up Todo's I guess I should too...
Quick shout for Vaadin. Not entirely convinced I can see where I can use this, apart from maybe replacing some Flex stuff we still have kicking around, but it does look good for building traditional internet apps. The reason it caught my attention was down to it being based on top of GWT (Google Web Toolkit) from its next release, which could make this a really powerful alternative to Rails/PHP.
CSS Spritesheets are an absolute must for the efficient web developer and Stitches is the most simple to create them.
Sometimes jQuery is just a little bit too rich and beefy to use when you just need to do something seemingly simple, especially on mobile sites. Zepto.js does a massive amount of what jQuery can, but with a lot of the fat chopped out, the draw back being that its list of support browsers is a lot slimmer so watch out!
This a post about something that is not a web framework!!!
I have been growing annoyed by Tumblr's own posting system as it seems to crash far too often, and spanners out when I jump between pages, so I have been using MarsEdit, and it is really good. It's a little bit on the App store, but well worth it if you are going to do any serious bloggage, and allows you to contribute to multiple blogs quite easily.
<p>Want to make code look pretty?</p> <p>Without having to code it yourself</p> <script type="text/javascript"> /* PrismJS so far seems to be the best looking syntax highlighter out there. */ </script> <p>You can even highlight lines!</p>
What happens if you combine every physics puzzle game with programming? Peanutty! It is a fantastic way to learn to code by essentially hacking on screen models.
I am actually surprised that I like this as much as I do. Divshot is browser based web interface builder which generates HTML/CSS based on several different types of component. I think the reason I like it so much is that the components are all Bootstrap, and the code it generates is actually fairly useable. Obviously I wouldn't recommend using this to create a production product, but for a quick mockup even my experienced HTML fingertips are glad for such a well put together shortcut!
