Node-RED provides a browser-based flow editor that makes it easy to wire together flows using the wide range of nodes in the palette. Flows can be then deployed to the runtime in a single-click. JavaScript functions can be created within the editor using a rich text editor. A built-in library allows you to save useful functions, templates or flows for re-use. The light-weight runtime is built on Node.js, taking full advantage of its event-driven, non-blocking model. This makes it ideal to run at the edge of the network on low-cost hardware such as the Raspberry Pi as well as in the cloud. -

Brunch
Web applications made easy
Brunch lets you focus on what matters most, solving real problems instead of messing around with the glue. By being opinionated about your build pipeline, Brunch is able to provide a smooth and fast experience, and makes your config files take a drastic cut. It doesn't take much to get around with brunch. 'brunch new' to create a new project. 'brunch build' to build. 'brunch watch' to live-compile. Installation is one-line, once you have node.js. You will find that the typical config of a Brunch application is an order of magnitude simpler, compared to Webpack, Grunt, or Gulp. Besides configs, brunch is also simpler in terms of commands. Grunt / Gulp commands replicate all plugins it loads. Brunch always has three commands: new, build and watch. Build / watch commands may receive optional production flag which will tell Brunch to optimize assets, javascripts and stylesheets. -

UpUp
Easily create sites that work offline as well as online
UpUp is a tiny JavaScript library that makes sure your users can always access your site's content, even when they're on a plane, in an elevator, or 20,000 leagues under the sea. Your users are no longer sitting at their desktops, with a wire connecting them to the internet. They are visiting your site from a phone in an elevator, from their tablet on the subway, or on their laptop while they sit cramped into seat 25 E. This is why modern browsers support service workers, a new technology which lets you serve your content to your users, even when they are offline. UpUp is a free, open-source project which makes using this modern magic as simple as calling one command. While easy to pick up, UpUp is powerful enough to support anything from showing simple messages, to making fully functional single-page applications available offline, with data customized for each of your users. -

Vulcan
A toolkit to quickly build apps with React, GraphQL & Meteor
Vulcan is a framework that gives you a set of tools for quickly building React & GraphQL-based web applications. It can handle data loading, e-mail notifications, automatic form generation, and much more, out of the box. Vulcan is unique in that it spans the full-stack, from the database to the browser. While there exist many excellent back-end frameworks or backend-as-a-service providers, these all still require you to handle the front-end code yourself, including building a set of components to read, write, and display data. However, being full-stack, Vulcan is able to speed up these repetitive tasks by providing a whole range of helper components that are fine-tuned to the Vulcan back-end, and as a result just work out of the box. In order to make working with Vulcan easier (especially when it comes to updating the core packages), you are also free to follow the more complicated “two-repo” pattern, with the two repositories. -

EpicReact.Dev
Build a ReactJS App workshop
EpicReact.Dev is the codebase used in the “Build an Epic React App” workshop, where participants build a complete React application from scratch. The project demonstrates how to structure a modern React app, including data modeling, authentication, routing, testing, and interaction with a backend. It uses a realistic “bookshelf” domain where users can manage lists of books, track reading status, and record notes, which provides a concrete context for learning. The repository includes setup scripts and system requirements checks for Git, Node, and npm, plus Docker and Codespaces options for people who struggle with local environments. A guided workflow, driven by a node go script and INSTRUCTIONS.md, lets learners move between exercises and extra credit steps while the repository updates the working files for each stage. Extensive tests, using Jest in watch mode, help students verify their solutions and learn how to work with test-driven feedback. -

Knockout
Tool to create rich, responsive UIs with JavaScript
Easily associate DOM elements with model data using a concise, readable syntax. When your data model's state changes, your UI updates automatically. Implicitly set up chains of relationships between model data, to transform and combine it. Quickly generate sophisticated, nested UIs as a function of your model data. Get started with knockout.js quickly, learning to build single-page applications, custom bindings and more with interactive tutorials. Knockout is a JavaScript MVVM (a modern variant of MVC) library that makes it easier to create rich, desktop-like user interfaces with JavaScript and HTML. It uses observers to make your UI automatically stay in sync with an underlying data model, along with a powerful and extensible set of declarative bindings to enable productive development. For Node.js developers, Knockout is also available from npm. -

Closure Library
Google's common JavaScript library
The Closure Library is a broad, well-tested, modular, and cross-browser JavaScript library. You can pull just what you need from a large set of reusable UI widgets and controls, and from lower-level utilities for DOM manipulation, server communication, animation, data structures, unit testing, rich-text editing, and more. The Closure Library is server-agnostic and is intended for use with the Closure Compiler. The Closure Library serves as the base JavaScript library for many Google products. Now that the Closure Library is open source, more and more developers outside Google are integrating the library in their own projects. If you are developing a large or growing application, you may benefit from the Closure Library's breadth. A well-tested library can insulate you from cross-browser compatibility issues and the minutiae of client-side programming, letting you focus on the fun stuff. -

Create React App
Set up a modern web app by running one command
Create React App lets you create React apps quickly and easily-- no learning of build tools or build configurations necessary. All you need is one command, and you can get started in seconds. All tools are preconfigured and hidden, and with instant reloads you can focus on code, not build tools. With Create React App your apps need only one build dependency, so everything works together seamlessly, and when it’s time to deploy your bundles are automatically optimized. With Create React App it’s easy to start and easy to “eject”, if ever you want an advanced configuration and edit config files directly. It’s also very easy to maintain, as you only need a single command to upgrade to new versions. -

Marked
A markdown parser and compiler. Built for speed
A low-level markdown compiler for parsing markdown without caching or blocking for long periods of time. Light-weight while implementing all markdown features from the supported flavors & specifications. Available as a command-line interface (CLI) and running in client- or server-side JavaScript projects. The only completely secure system is the one that doesn't exist in the first place. Having said that, we take the security of Marked very seriously. To prevent ReDoS attacks you can run marked on a worker and terminate it when parsing takes longer than usual. Marked can be run in a worker thread on a node server, or a web worker in a browser. Only current and LTS Node.js versions are supported. End-of-life Node.js versions may become incompatible with Marked at any point in time. -

PWA
(WIP) Universal PWA Builder
PWA is a “universal, framework-agnostic PWA builder” developed by Luke Edwards (lukeed) that aims to let developers scaffold progressive web apps with minimal friction across different view frameworks or libraries. Unlike many CLI tools that target a specific framework (React, Vue, Svelte), this project intentionally tries to remain agnostic, supporting presets for Preact, React, Vue, Svelte and even vanilla JS, while offering all the PWA boilerplate you need (service workers, manifest, offline support) right out of the box. The project is designed for speed of setup: you run pwa init, choose your preset, then pwa build or pwa watch and you get a production-ready bundle with PWA features baked in. The README emphasizes that modern bundlers (Webpack, Rollup) and ecosystem maturity finally allow a universal CLI of this kind, whereas earlier attempts weren’t practical. -

UI Bootstrap
Bootstrap components written in pure AngularJS by the AngularUI Team
Bootstrap components written in pure AngularJS by the AngularUI Team. UI Bootstrap provides a set of native AngularJS directives based on Bootstrap's markup and CSS. As a result no dependency on jQuery or Bootstrap's JavaScript is required. Build files for all directives are distributed in several flavours: minified for production usage, un-minified for development, with or without templates. It should be noted that the -tpls files contain the templates bundled in JavaScript, while the regular version does not contain the bundled templates. Alternativelly, if you are only interested in a subset of directives, you can create your own build. Whichever method you choose the good news that the overall size of a download is fairly small: 122K minified for all directives with templates and 98K without (~31kB with gzip compression, with templates, and 28K gzipped without). -

HTML Onlive Debugger
Realtime preview for designers and developers.
When I got my first Android tablet; I realized how much web design and development were such a tedious process for a large majority of tablet and smart phone users. I found no applications available in Google Play that enabled live code debugging which gave me the incentive to develop one myself. After purchasing Google's developer fee, as well as AIDE I then released on Google Play for all to use.
