SheetJS – Parse And Manipulate Excel Spreadsheets In The Browser

Leider ist der Eintrag nur auf English verfügbar.SheetJS (source code available on GitHub) is an extremely useful JavaScript library that enables you to have Microsoft Excel spreadsheets parsed directly in the browser without any backend interaction necessary.

favico.js – Dynamic Content For Your Favicon

I don’t want an app for that

Leider ist der Eintrag nur auf English verfügbar.Scott Adams of Dilbert fame recently posted an article on why your phone interface is a legacy train wreck. He argues that the way we interact with our smartphones goes all the way back to the beginning of desktop computing. In spite of what Apple probably would have us believe - in spite of swiping, tapping and multitouch - we're still largely using our computing devices as if they were a 1987 IBM PC ...

Eko: A Digital Stethoscope Add-On

Leider ist der Eintrag nur auf English verfügbar.At times you come across novel designs and solutions and instantly think "Of course. Why hasn't anybody thought about this before?".
