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.
