For NoSQL fans, MongoDB is definitely the most popular solution with the simplicity and cross-platform support offered.

In order to manage MongoDB databases easily, Genghis, a single-file, self-hosted and web-based solution is pretty handy.

It can be installed either as a Ruby gem or as a standalone PHP script.

Genghis is capable of managing any number of databases on any number of servers with support for managing databases, collections and documents.

The interface of the application is responsive and works well down to mobile.

All browsers have different behaviors while rendering web pages. Even their versions have inconsistencies.

Although this is a bad thing, it is possible to make use of these inconsistencies for targeting the right browser and the right version (which is sometimes handy for debugging or applying code that will only be applied by the browser wanted).

Browserhacks is a website which presents a list of browser-specific CSS and JavaScript hacks.

It is a single-page resource, includes hacks for Chrome, Safari, Firefox, IE + Opera and has a cool search box that eases finding the right hack instantly.

P.S. The project is open source and it is possible to contribute it with any new hacks.

Spectrum is a jQuery colorpicker plugin that probably comes with all the features you are looking for.

It is image-free (only CSS and JS) and can be used for all browsers or only as a polyfill for the input[type=color] of HTML5 .

The picker is actually familiar to designers/developers as it is the same one that comes with WebKit DevTools (created by the same developer) but now available as a jQuery plugin.

It has support for color palettes by storing/displaying the colors you chose, the default selected color can be set or it can be configured to only display the palette with pre-defined colors.

Alpha transparency selection is available, can be always visible (without clicking to a picker icon) and supports multiple color formats.

Spectrum can be customized with CSS and it works on mobile as well.

Few days ago, a post at WRD had featured BLOKK (a font as blocks) and here is a similar resource with a difference.

Redacted Font is an open source font which is inspired from BLOKK but has a script version besides the block.

The script version is available as regular + bold and the project is so useful when wireframing.

Every designer needs high-quality images for good-looking and/or print-ready designs.

If you are in search of such stock photos for an affordable price, Photaki, a microstock agency created by photographers and designers, is a must check.

The service has launched in 2009, grew fast in means of content + users and, right now, 5000+ images are added each day. So its always  guaranteed to find something fresh.

Like mentioned, Photaki has a focus on keeping the prices as low as possible. It works with a credit system where downloading an image without having to buy an entire credit pack only costs 1 € (or it gets much lower with the packs -down to 0.20 €-).

There are images on any keyword, they are categorized>sub-categorized well and a location-based search exists. Simply, it is pretty easy to locate the file you need.

If you are a photographer or designer, becoming a contributor makes sense with high commissions (between 50% and 80%), detailed sales/visit reports and unlimited storage. And, for artists with a large collection, they help automating the entire process.

Photaki‘s website is available in many languages and you can always keep in touch with them regarding any questions.

When working on mobile web apps, you may have experienced that browsers have differences in their gesture APIs.

DeepTissue.js is a library that removes such differences (of MSPointer, WebKit Touch and mouse pointer APIs) and provides a cross-browser gesture handling library.

It has support for all the major events like tap, double tap, tap and hold, rotate, scale or swipe.

The library is standalone but a jQuery-friendly version is also under development.

Koken is a free and self-hosted CMS (PHP-MySQL) that is focused on building websites where portfolio/gallery is in the core (like designer or photographer sites).

The application has a powerful media manager for the images and videos. It allows organizing items as categories, date captured, license and more.

It has a simple and flexible content editor that allows editing with live previews. Also, inserting media, slideshows or social content (like tweets, Flickr, Instagram and Vimeo) is possible.

Koken has a templating engine for building new themes. And, it is currently in beta but will soon have plugins for extending further.

Also, for Adobe Lightroom users, there is a free “publish services” plugin for easily updating, editing and replacing content.

IconBeast Lite is a high-quality and free iPhone icons set that iOS developers will probably like so much.

It is the smaller version of IconBeast Pro (that has 1700 items) but still has lots of icons (300).

There are items from actions to arrows, charts, devices, social networks and more.

They are in PNG format, sized 30*30px and free yet require attribution when used.

If you liked the quality of the set and still need more icons, make sure to check out IconBeast Pro | 1700 iPhone icons.

Twitter has open sourced a very nice project named Typeahead.js for building smart auto-complete form fields.

It comes as a jQuery plugin, shows suggestion as-users-type and can feature top suggestions with the help of styling.

The plugin can work with both local or remote datasets and it is optimized for speed as it can prefetch the dataset, store it on the client-side and run the queries quickly.

Typeahead.js simply converts any textfield into an auto-complete field, accepts JSON as the data source and has various settings for optimizing remote requests (rate limiting, maxConcurrentRequests, etc.).

Lots of content is produced on social networks and using that content inside websites is usually a smart choice.

That is usually common with Twitter as “displaying the latest tweets” (check jQuery Twitter Plugins) and you may want to do the same for Instagram as well.

Here is a collection of jQuery plugins for fetching images, presenting them and even interacting with the Instagram API much more when needed:

Spectagram

It has support for getting photos of a specific user or popular or recently tagged ones.

The HTML format can be easily customized and images can be retrieved in pre-defined sizes.

Instajam

Instajam is an almost complete JavaScript wrapper for the whole Instagram API.

It makes use of jQuery for working with JSONP requests and comes with features like getting:

• user: likes, general info, feed, followers/following, search and relationships

• tag: feed, meta and search
• location and geography: getting media from a specific location/geography and search

jQInstaPics

A to-the-point jQuery plugin for only displaying images of a user.

There are very few things to setup and the images are retrieved as an unordered list.

Instafeed.js (non-jQuery)

Instafeed.js is a standalone Instagram JavaScript library.

And for templating, it has functions for easily displaying the meta items of a photo.
