ReacType
Prototyping Tool for exporting React/Typescript Applications!
ReacType is a rapid prototyping tool built on Electron that allows users visualize their application architecture dynamically, employing a drag-and-drop canvas display and an interactive, real-time component code preview that can be exported as a React app for developers employing React component architecture alongside the comprehensive type-checking of TypeScript. In other words, you can draw prototypes and export React / TypeScript code! After opening the dmg and dragging ReacType into your Applications folder, ctrl+click the icon and select 'Open' from the context menu to run the app. This extra step is necessary since we don't have an Apple developer license yet. If you are given a warning that Apple could not scan the app. Users can now manage state dynamically within nested components using React Hooks within the state manager tab. For a selected component, users can see a list of available props from the parent, add props, and delete props in case they are not required later on. -

Draper
Decorators/view-models for Rails applications
Draper adds an object-oriented layer of presentation logic to your Rails application. Without Draper, this functionality might have been tangled up in procedural helpers or adding bulk to your models. With Draper decorators, you can wrap your models with presentation-related logic to organize and test this layer of your app much more effectively. Imagine your application has an Article model. With Draper, you'd create a corresponding ArticleDecorator. The decorator wraps the model, and deals only with presentational concerns. In the controller, you decorate the article before handing it off to the view. In the view, you can use the decorator in exactly the same way as you would have used the model. But whenever you start needing logic in the view or start thinking about a helper method, you can implement a method on the decorator instead. -

Mermaid.js to SVG Converter
Visualize the diagrams of your projects
While coding with AI assist, I noticed bigger projects need something more rigid as context so the AI coder doesn't stray away when I try to add new features. You know, to keeps its memory fresh and not change the stuff that already works. The trick is to ask the AI to write a diagram in Mermaid.js format that solidifies the structure of the project and then use that as context to keep the AI reminded at all times what the project is as a whole. This will prevent it from changing things its not supposed to change. This standalone offline web app will convert that mermaid.js code into a visual SVG image so that YOU as a human will be able to understand what the AI think about the structure of your projects so you can see it and fix any misconceptions until the diagram is correct for your project. (Source code is included in the html itself. Open it in a web browser to use.) -

Automalator
State Dependency deconstructor and mapper for C source code.
Flowcharts not telling you what you want to know about some C source code? Try a State Dependency map! Every C source file is an implemention of a state machine. Implicit in the definition of a state machine is a network of dependencies between the states. The Automalator * deconstructs the C code into the core state machine * collates the transactions into the dependency net * generates a diagram-format file with the states and dependencies as the nodes and edges. Pre-requisites * Perl - tested with versions 5.12.3, 5.14.2 and 5.20.2, Windows, Linux and MAC * Get the Automalator by downloading the zip, or checking out or exporting the SVN trunk * copy the source code of interest into "project.c" * windows - double-click "src2map.bat" * linux & MAC - navigate the command line to the "project" folder, then run "src2map.sh" * open "project.gml" file with diagramming software. -

CSS Inspiration
Curated collection of interesting, creative, or inspiring CSS effects
CSS-Inspiration is a living gallery of modern CSS effects and components that highlights what’s possible with pure CSS and minimal markup. The collection ranges from micro-interactions and loaders to 3D transforms, complex backgrounds, hover states, and text effects, each presented as a small, self-contained demo. Source code is front and center, encouraging developers to study, copy, and tweak snippets for their own projects. Many examples lean on contemporary features—custom properties, filters, blend modes, gradients, and keyframes—serving as both inspiration and a practical cookbook. Because each demo focuses on a single idea, it’s an effective way to learn new techniques without wading through a full framework. The project thrives on experimentation and community interest, making it a frequent reference for designers, front-end engineers, and educators who want visually striking yet lightweight solutions. -

React Color
Color pickers from Sketch, Photoshop, Chrome, Github, and Twitter
13 different pickers, for Sketch, Photoshop, Chrome and many more. Make your own, use the building block components to make your own. Color controls what color is active on the color picker. You can use this to initialize the color picker with a particular color, or to keep it in sync with the state of a parent component. Pass a function to call every time the color is changed. Use this to store the color in the state of a parent component or to make other transformations. Pass a function to call once a color change is complete. To make a custom color picker, create a top-level component that will act as the bridge with the CustomPicker high order component. Wrap the export with the CustomPicker function. Every color picker provided is made up of a collection of helper components. Those components are accessible for you to use to make a custom color picker. Use EditableInput to display an input / label that acts as the single source of truth until the input is blurred. -
