- Bookmarklet Crunchinator - Based on the Javascript Crunchinator Demo, you can use this to quickly create a bookmarklet from some javascript code. Enter your javascript code in the text area below Input. Enter a name for the bookmarklet in the Name field. Click crunch, and the code will be compressed, and turned into a link under output. You can then drag this to your bookmarks toolbar as a bookmarklet, or right click and bookmark it, or just click it to try it out. Note that your code will automatically be wrapped in a function to make it bookmarklet-friendly.
- EightPack consists of the following tools: JSLint, JSHint, JS Beautifier, JSMin, CSS Beautify, and cssmin.js. Uses V8 engine.
- http://code.google.com/p/minify/ - php css and js
- JShrink is a php class that minifies javascript so that it can be delivered to the client quicker. This code can be used by any product looking to minify their javascript on the fly (although caching the results is suggested for performance reasons). Unlike many other products this is not a port into php but a native application, resulting in better performance.
- CSSO (CSS Optimizer) is a CSS minimizer unlike others. In addition to usual minification techniques it can perform structural optimization of CSS files, resulting in smaller file size compared to other minifiers. Node.js.
- Collide is an open-source "collaborative IDE" demonstration. Pick a folder you want to edit on your local file system. Run Collide from the command line in that folder. You and your amigos browse to http://your_host_name:8080. Collaboratively edit :). Java.
- CSSLint is a tool to help point out problems with your CSS code. It does basic syntax checking as well as applying a set of rules to the code that look for problematic patterns or signs of inefficiency. The rules are all pluggable, so you can easily write your own or omit ones you don't want.
- Initializr is an HTML5 templates generator to help you getting started with a new project based on HTML5 Boilerplate. It generates for you a clean customizable template with just what you need to start!
