Brosho: A jQuery Plugin For Designing In The Browser

Brosho is a jQuery plugin which helps you to minimize the editor-browser switching while creating/editing websites.

It enables you to select elements in a webpage, edit the CSS properties with an in-browser editor & see the outputs instantly (similar to editing with Firebug).

Brosho jQuery Plugin

Once you are satisfied with the changes implemented, copy-pasting the new code to the CSS file is enough.

The editor has few functions that makes the usage easy like:

  • setting the position (top-bottom-left-right)
  • enable/disable element highlighting
  • one-click CSS code generation

It may be a good idea to disable links while using Brosho as a selected element can forward you to a new page & selections can become useless. There are code examples for this in the comments of the resource.

Grimace is a free Flash-based component for displaying emotions through facial expressions.

It is developed in pure AS3, delivered as a lightweight SWF file & supports 6 emotions: joy, surprise, fear, disgust, sadness, anger (and their combinations).

Free Website Uptime Monitor: Uptime Robot

Uptime is a pretty important factor for the success of a website which directly effects the number of visitors, visitor loyalty, search engine positions & more.

Here is a lovely free service which is created by me & Daniel Rimille of SSLmatic to minimize downtime.

Uptime Robot is a totally free service which monitors your websites every 5 minutes & alerts you if they go down.

It allows you to monitor up to 50 websites & alerts can be received via e-mail or SMS (Twitter & RSS coming soon).

Uptime Robot

You can add multiple alert contacts to notify multiple users in case of a downtime.

It is possible to monitor both http & https addresses which is pretty important to check if the SSL certificate installed functions correctly.

The service has a simple & fully Ajaxed interface for a faster usage.

P.S. Uptime Robot will hopefully get mature within a short time. But during that period, if you're looking for a more professional service, you may want to check paid ones like Pingdom, SiteUptime, AreMySitesUp

Upcoming features

  • RSS & Twitter alerts
  • keyword checking in websites monitored (testing)
  • mobile version
  • monitoring from multiple locations (we may need your help, will be sharing more details later)

Follow at Twitter for updates, support..

We'll be updating you via @uptimerobot Twitter user for new features, improvements, etc. Also, feel free to contact us from there for support, feature requests, etc.

A little story of Uptime Robot:

I'm sharing a little office with Daniel Rimille of SSLmatic which we're building a complicated web application for a while.

The application is something totally different from Uptime Robot but it needed to monitor websites/IPs it worked with & we created a module for this which worked awesome.

It was my idea to convert this module into a website uptime monitoring service.

Uptime Robot LogoDaniel was a little uncommitted as he thought this would take much time & we would be missing our schedule for the application we're building. I thought this was an opportunity to see how it would scale, help us improve ourselves in means of usability, handling support requests, etc.

And I claimed to build it in only 2 days, had a bet (lost a dinner), but completed in 4 days. It took 8 extra days for us both to polish it & here it is.

We loved what we created & will be updating/improving Uptime Robot frequently as there are so many similarities with what we're already building.

jQuery Lint- Reports Incorrect Usage of jQuery

jQuery Lint is a simple script you can download and use with jQuery. It works over the top of jQuery and diligently reports errors and any incorrect usage of jQuery. It will also, to some extent, offer guidance on best practices and performance concerns.

jQuery lint’s main objective is to notify you of incorrect usages of jQuery’s API. So, if you pass incorrect arguments to any method then jQuery Lint will let you know. It compares your arguments to the argument signatures in jQuery’s API.

How to Use

To use it, you need to include it, after jQuery, in your document:

<script src="jquery.js"></script>
<script src="jquery.lint.js"></script>

Features Include:

  • - Reports via Firebug, although you can quite easily plug-in your own console mechanism.
  • - Has four different error-reporting levels, zero reports nothing, three will report everything, including small things like using css().css().css() instead of css({…}).
  • - Helps you in determining where the problem occurred in your code.

You can read more about jQuery Lint and download it at Github.
