sausage: Contextual pagination for jQuery »

thechangelog:

Not everything that extends $ is money, so it’s rare we cover jQuery plugins. However, Sausage from Christopher Cliff has a unique take on pagination:

screencap

Sausage is meant to be used with infinite (or at least long) scrolling pages and adds pagination markers to the margin. For a real-world example, check out how Sausage enhances the online version of CouchDB The Definitive Guide with just the following code:

$(window)
    .sausage({
        content: function (i, $page) {
            return '<span class="sausage-span">'
                + $page.find('.anchor').first().text()
                + '</span>';
        }
    })
    ;

For more information or examples, check the web site or examples in the project. Be sure and follow @SausageJS for updates.

solarized: Light and dark precision color scheme for terminal apps, editors »

thechangelog:

We developers spend as much time finding the right color scheme for our text editors and command line tools as we do using them. Normally, you find your tool of choice and then browse the gallery of themes to pick one to use or customize.

Ethan Schoonover has taken a different approach with Solarized, a theme that comes with support for a number of tools out of the box including:

  • Vim
  • Mutt e-mail client
  • Xresources / Xdefaults
  • iTerm2
  • OS X Terminal.app
  • Adobe Photoshop Palette (inc. Lab values)
  • Apple Color Picker Palette
  • GIMP Palette

Sample

Never before has so much design gone into a color theme. Ethan supports both light and dark variations to support selective contrast and other features

palette

There’s even a Sass implementation:

$base03:    #002b36;
$base02:    #073642;
$base01:    #586e75;
$base00:    #657b83;
$base0:     #839496;
$base1:     #93a1a1;
$base2:     #eee8d5;
$base3:     #fdf6e3;
$yellow:    #b58900;
$orange:    #cb4b16;
$red:       #d30102;
$magenta:   #d33682;
$violet:    #6c71c4;
$blue:      #268bd2;
$cyan:      #2aa198;
$green:     #859900;
@mixin rebase($rebase03,$rebase02,$rebase01,$rebase00,$rebase0,$rebase1,$rebase2,$rebase3) 
{
    background-color:$rebase03;
    color:$rebase0;
    * { color:$rebase0; }
    h1,h2,h3,h4,h5,h6 { color:$rebase1; border-color: $rebase0; }
    a, a:active, a:visited { color: $rebase1; }
}
@mixin accentize($accent) {
    a, a:active, a:visited, code.url { color: $accent; }
    h1,h2,h3,h4,h5,h6 {color:$accent}
}
/* light is default mode, so pair with general html definition */
html, .light { @include rebase($base3,$base2,$base1,$base0,$base00,$base01,$base02,$base03)}
.dark  { @include rebase($base03,$base02,$base01,$base00,$base0,$base1,$base2,$base3)}
html * {
    color-profile: sRGB;
    rendering-intent: auto;
}

We didn’t see TextMate support. Perhaps you could fork the project and contribute.
