  • Sidr for jQuery: Modern Sidebar Navigation with an Edge

    Project's Homepage

    We all came to love the so-called panel menu, or more correct off-canvas-menu, which saw a dramatic rise in popularity alongside the equally dramatic rise in popularity of smartphones and mobile clients in general. It’s getting hard to find one smartphone app that isn’t equipped with a navigation that slides in at swipe or tap.

A while ago we introduced you to jPanelMenu for jQuery, with which you can create a Facebook-like experience in any app. Our newest contestant, Sidr, is even more able…

    jquerycustomcontentscroller-w550

    Scrollable elements in websites are not everywhere, but they are not seldom either. What makes designers avoid them, if possible, is their layout-breaking ugliness. Standard-scrollbars are pushed in according to your browser’s unchangeable preference. Some guy in Redmond or Mountain View decides how scrollbars are presented. With the jQuery plugin Custom Content Scroller we need no longer waste much thought on the guys behind the browser-scrollbar. Instead, we design them to our own liking and according to the project’s design guidelines.

    hookjs-homepage-w550

    If my memory doesn’t fool me, it was Apple who invented this. Or was it Loren Brichter for his Tweetie client?

Jordan Singer and Brandon Jacoby have just recently come up with a similar method of equipping websites with a “Pull to refresh”.

  • Toolbar.js for jQuery and Bootstrap: Flexible Toolbars in iOS Style

    No matter whether you like the design style of iOS or you don’t. We need not participate in the ongoing discussion about sceuomorphism. One topic cannot be disputed. I’m talking about the toolbar design Apple’s iOS introduced. Modern websites tend to adapt that concept more often than not. Tapping an icon or a link unveils more options. This is space-saving and an established implementation by now. The jQuery plugin Toolbar.js, created by Paul Kinzett from New Zealand, allows for iOS-style toolbars on any website.
