Super Immersive Web Design Experience with jQuery Plugins and Libraries

When you see a site like Reverend Danger, first you appreciate and awe, then you make a list of the libraries their taking advantage of.

It’s a jQuery site with jQueryUI of course, using Modernizr to double check features, etc. Sound. But on top of that here’s the other jQuery plugins…

• Easing - controls the character of small movement transitions.
• ScrollTo - force the scroll position elsewhere (works with easing).
• WayPoints - link events/behavior to user scrolling. my favorite
• Hint - nice little acknowledgment of focus (though I’d do this with CSS).
• UJS - make unobtrusive calls from elements (Ruby tool).
• Cycle - classic image/element cycling.
• Flip - very physical, 3D and cool flip effect.

There’s more in there, but this is just a blog post after all. Get back to work.

UPDATE: Not in there, but spritely is in the same realm.

ANOTHER UPDATE: Check out scrollorama, it’s super awesome.
