March 27, 2017 at 14:53A selection of useful tools with Product Hunt for March
Everyone is familiar with the Product Hunt resource and everyone knows how many new projects - innovative and banal, useful and stupid - appear there every day. For those who don’t always have enough time to sort this stream, we offer a small selection of interesting finds from several categories (CSS, Performance, Messaging, API) that we have selected for ourselves over the past few weeks.
Animista is an extensive collection of pre-made CSS animations from Ana Travas. On the developer's site, each of them can be evaluated in action by applying to various design elements (background, text, button, image, and so on), setting the direction and selecting the necessary settings (duration, delay, intermittent motion). You can add the most suitable options to your favorites, download, and also generate code for them.
Waffle grid is a simple and compact grid system on Flexbox from Lucas Gruwez. It allows you to easily adapt the layout for a number of devices, easily customizable according to the needs of the user.
Dima Blover and Alexander Isora offer fellow craftsmen a collection of 180 linear gradientsthat can be used as the background of the web page. Currently available on the site: preview, PSD code and PNG versions for downloading each individual sample, as well as packages with a full set of gradients for Sketch and Photoshop.
Product Roadmap Builder is a roadmap tool developed by the ProdPad team. Keeping feedback, backlogs, specifications, brainstorming results, the application gives your team the opportunity not only to properly understand and organize the workflow, but also to effectively visualize the resulting scheme - communicate information to colleagues and impress customers at the same time. The system integrates with other popular project management tools (Trello, JIRA, GitHub). Wildfire
extensionallows you to record any sequence of actions on a web page (both online and offline) and create a simulation based on it with the possibility of further editing. When recording or playing back a session, a backlog is automatically created. A good option for developers who use automation tools (for example, iMacros, Ghost Inspector), or testers working with Selenium and the like. Loom
Workflow is a powerful tool for visual communication with colleagues or clients. Integrate the extension with the necessary services (Gmail, Intercom, Trello, GitHub, Basecamp, JIRA, Google Docs, Hacker News, InVision App, Dropbox, Product Hunt, GitLab and others) to record video demonstrating a particular process directly from the screen and quickly share it with the other person
Parlo is a platform for creating text and voice chatbots on web pages and in applications. It can be used as a ready-made solution or configured at the discretion of the developer. Integrates with a number of popular enterprise systems. The project is currently in beta testing.
SendBird helps you integrate messaging or chat into your application. The developer has the ability to serve 100,000 viewers, create separate chats for audience segments, apply moderation tools, including automatic protection against spam and obscene language. The tool can come in handy in the development of entertainment or information services that play real-time video, multiplayer games, social platforms.
Pleasant innovation from the companySlack : using App Unfurls, you can create previews for any links you share with your interlocutor yourself. This works for both internal content stored on your company’s domains and external links. In addition to the actual link, the preview may include one or more action buttons - interactivity will save the team time.
The new Zapier command line interface provides those who write applications on Node JS with instant integration with the development platform directly from the command line. Entering the ecosystem of more than 750 tools opens up more possibilities for writing, testing and deploying products: connect the API to request information, exchange data and lead joint projects, simplify the automation process and receive feedback from the community.
Perspective- A tool designed to maintain a healthy atmosphere in online communities and make discussions more productive. By analyzing the text of the comment as the user enters it into the field, the service determines and displays the approximate level of "toxicity" even before sending. Such an algorithm reduces the risk of offensive comments by providing the user with feedback, and simplifies the moderation process.
Jsnoxious offers a collection of API endpoints that you can use in your application architecture, as well as the ability to create your own directly from the browser.
