geoPlugin to geolocate your visitors

GeoPlugin is an IP geolocation API service that identifies visitor location (country, region, city, and coordinates) from their IP address in a single request, with country-level accuracy around 99.9% and city-level around 80%. The platform integrates into existing websites and e-commerce platforms like Shopify, WordPress, and Webflow with minimal code, enabling use cases like redirecting visitors to localized sites, showing local currency, blocking sanctioned countries, and detecting VPNs or proxies. It processes IP data compliantly with GDPR and CCPA by anonymizing addresses after lookup and not storing them against personal profiles.

Animate.css - a bunch of plug-and-play CSS animations

Animate.css is a ready-to-use CSS animation library that provides pre-built animations for web projects, installed via npm or CDN and applied by adding class names like `animate__animated` and `animate__bounce` to HTML elements. Version 4 introduced breaking changes, most notably prefixing all classes with `animate__`, though a compatibility file is available for migration from older versions. The library uses CSS custom properties for flexible customization of animation duration, delay, and iteration count, and includes utility classes for common timing adjustments and best practices guidance on using animations meaningfully without degrading user experience.

Bounce – A fun and easy way to share ideas on a website

Bounce was a feedback tool that let users capture screenshots of webpages, annotate them with contextual notes, and share them for collaborative review before the feedback could be passed back and forth. The product has been retired and replaced by Helio, which expands on Bounce's core concept by enabling designers to gather real-time feedback from thousands of users and generate actionable insights more quickly.

Ben Alman » jQuery doTimeout: Like setTimeout, but better

doTimeout is a jQuery plugin that simplifies managing delayed code execution, polling loops, and debouncing by maintaining an internal cache of timeout IDs so developers don't have to track them manually. It offers a cleaner API than native setTimeout while remaining fully jQuery chainable, allowing for easy cancellation, forced execution, and complex behaviors like polling until a condition is met or debouncing repeated events. The plugin is tested across major browsers and provides practical examples for common use cases like window resize handlers and typeahead search inputs.
