lazysizes
lazysizes is a fast (jank-free), SEO-friendly and self-initializing lazyloader for images (including responsive images picture/srcset), iframes, scripts/widgets and much more. It also prioritizes resources by differentiating between crucial in view and near view elements to make perceived performance even faster.
It may become also your number one tool to integrate responsive images. It can automatically calculate the sizes attribute for your responsive images, it allows you to share media queries for your media attributes with your CSS, helping to separate layout (CSS) from content/structure (HTML) and it makes integrating responsive images into any environment really simple. It also includes a set of optional plugins to further extend its functionality.
How to
-
Download the lazysizes.min.js script and include lazysizes in your webpage. (Or install via npm:
npm install lazysizes --saveor bowerbower install lazysizes --save)<script src="lazysizes.min.js" async=""></

Slate helps you create beautiful, intelligent, responsive API documentation.
The example above was created with Slate. Check it out at slatedocs.github.io/slate.
Features
-
Clean, intuitive design β With Slate, the description of your API is on the left side of your documentation, and all the code examples are on the right side. Inspired by Stripe's and PayPal's API docs. Slate is responsive, so it looks great on tablets, phones, and even in print.
-
Everything on a single page β Gone are the days when your users had to search through a million pages to find what they wanted. Slate puts the entire documentation on a single page. We haven't sacrificed linkability, though. As you scroll, your browser's hash will update to the nearest header, so linking to a particular point in the documentation is still natural and easy.

A tiny modern CSS reset
minireset.css
A tiny modern CSS reset that covers the basics:
- resets the font sizes: so that using semantic markup doesn't affect the styling
- resets the block margins: so that the spacing is only applied when you need it
- resets tables: so that tabular data only takes the space it needs
- preserves the inline paddings: so that buttons and inputs keep their default layout
- sets the border-box box sizing: so that borders and paddings don't affect the set dimensions
- sets responsive media elements: so that images and embeds scale with the browser width
Download/Install
npm install minireset.css
Or clone the repo.
Options
It will be available in your modules directory in /node_modules/minireset.css/:
-
minireset.css: CSS rules -
minireset.min.css: minified CSS rules (recommended for production sites) -

The easiest way to translate your NextJs apps.
next-i18next
The easiest way to translate your NextJs apps.
If you are using next-i18next in production, please consider sponsoring the package with any amount you think appropriate.
What is this?
Although NextJs provides internationalised routing directly, it does not handle any management of translation content, or the actual translation functionality itself. All NextJs does is keep your locales and URLs in sync.
To complement this, next-i18next provides the remaining functionality βΒ management of translation content, and components/hooks to translate your React components β while fully supporting SSG/SSR, multiple namespaces, codesplitting, etc.
While next-i18next uses i18next and react-i18next under the hood, users of next-i18next simply need to include their translation content as JSON files and don't have to worry about much else.
A live demo is available here. This demo app is the simple example - nothing more, nothing less.
Why next-i18next?
Easy to set up, easy toβ¦

Recharts
Introduction
Recharts is a Redefined chart library built with React and D3.
The main purpose of this library is to help you to write charts in React applications without any pain. Main principles of Recharts are:
- Simply deploy with React components.
- Native SVG support, lightweight depending only on some D3 submodules.
- Declarative components, components of charts are purely presentational.
Examples
<LineChart
width={400}
height={400}
data={data}
margin={{ top: 5, right: 20, left: 10, bottom: 5 }}

<XAxis dataKey="name" />
