Instagram jQuery Plugin

Instagram jQuery plugin (GitHub: potomak / jquery-instagram) by Giovanni Cappellotto uses the instagr.am API to show a list of photos.

You’ll need to provide a client ID to use it, but the Instagram API documentation explains how to do this.

jQuery.handleStorage

jQuery.handleStorage (GPL) by Jason Gerfen provides a local storage database with AES support. Jason’s example encrypts the data in a form:

$('#myForm').handleStorage({ storage:'cookie', aes:true });

This uses the Gibberish AES library. It could be used without AES, however, and the plugin will use local storage (if available), a session, or cookies.

A related commercial product is 1Password which includes a HTML/CSS/JavaScript viewer for encrypted passwords. The 1Password application itself is for Windows, Mac OS, iOS or Android, but interestingly their database files include a HTML viewer that can decrypt saved passwords.

Ampersand

Ampersand by Nicholas Johnson is a small jQuery plugin for using Open Source Ampersands. This is a project to provide high-quality single-character fonts.

Morse.js

Morse.js (GitHub: mattt / Morse.js, MIT License) by Mattt Thompson transcribes morse code: $('p').morseCode({ bpm:12 });.
