Kort is a creative concept, by Hakim El Hattab (who creates awesome stuff regularly) for displaying thumbnails.
It works by displaying a single thumbnail where others are hidden like a stack of cards and shown when hovered.
The navigation is made with mouse movements and there are multiple built-in efffects offered.
Kort is built with CSS3 + JavaScript and a handy resource for featuring images in a limited space.

Pikachoose is a jQuery image gallery plugin for presenting images smoothly & easily.
It displays the thumbnails of the images (which can be set to be staticly resized from the original image or created manually) & enables users to browse the gallery by clicking on the images, via pre-next buttons or with the auto-play feature.
The plugin can display the image captions & any type of HTML can be used in the captions (like links).
Pikachoose is very easy to setup, an unordered list with id="pikachoose" will turn into an image gallery. Any other options are defined in a single-line function.
