echarts
ECharts is a robust Javascript data visualization library. I find it a highly capable option for interactive web-based charts, supporting extensive chart types and large datasets with flexible rendering.
JavaScript entries
deeplinks.js
This is a neat little script, deeplinks.js, that enables deep linking to any text highlight on your site. I find it quite nice for static, text-heavy blogs where you want robust, short URLs for specific selections.
Conversational Form
This is an awesome open-source library that transforms standard web forms into interactive, chat-like conversational interfaces, complete with customizable styling and variable reuse.
MapLibre GL
MapLibre GL JS provides interactive maps in the browser using WebGL and vector tiles. It's my preferred open-source alternative to Mapbox GL JS after their license change, offering GPU-accelerated rendering.
Vue Native
Vue Native was a framework that allowed building cross-platform native mobile apps using Vue.js, compiling to React Native. However, it's deprecated and no longer maintained, so I wouldn't recommend it for new projects.
WebTorrent Workshop
This workshop offers a guided introduction to WebTorrent and WebRTC, demonstrating how to build P2P applications directly in the browser. It's a solid resource for understanding real-time file sharing and P2P networking fundamentals.
