The team behind Meteora have set out to do something different and cool. They have launched a lunch box filled with rich and customizable web applications that you can use right here, right now. No pages of documentation to be read, and no need for excessive programing knowledge.
Here are a few more details from the developers:
Meteora is built on top of MooTools and the package comes with a full version of that framework. If you’re already a MooTools user you may read Quick start for mootools users, if you have not used MooTools before just keep reading.
After you have uncompressed Meteora, you’ll notice that it’s around 1.1M in size, this is mainly because of all the images it contains, also because it’s distributed with a full version of the MooTools framework. But do not worry about loading times, with Meteora’s automatic dependency resolution your browser will download only the javascript the page needs and nothing more.
I do have to say, some of this looks even easy enough for me to wrap my head around. These tools would be perfect to slice into your recent project or web page and offer a lot of eye candy and functionality to the mix.
Not convinced yet? Check out the demos to see this powerful set of tools at work.

The CSS Text Wrapper is probably the coolest thing I have seen when it comes to what you can do with text on a web page. Then again… how many things have we seen?
This tool makes it easy to wrap your text on a web page around in new and different ways. No more rectangle blocks! You can make text wrap around curves, zig-zags, or whatever you want. To get started, all you have to do is use the wizard on their web site. The output will be saved as Javascript, XHTML w/ Classes, or Inline CSS/XHTML.

There is no doubt that there are many places to grab widgets of your RSS feed to display on other pages as a badge in flash or javascript form. The newest resource to toss into this endless bucket would be WidgetEasy. Playing a little ‘bit with the site this morning - I do have to say it is easy. All you do is put in your RSS feed address into the box, they they spit back out a javascript box with all your links.
Then all you have to do is copy and paste the widget code onto any web page out there to display the widget on that specific web site. Ranks high in the pretty neat category. Doesn’t give a bad presentation. I would give this one two freaky Mitchelaneous thumbs up.

When in Google Reader you can choose to create a widget where you can display the stories or links you have wanted to share with others. That is how I created the Mitchelaneous Links Web page I told you about yesterday. I have been getting a few E-mails though from folks wanting to know how I got it to display more than ten items at a time.
Take a look at the javascript code Google gives you to post on your own Web site. The specific part you want to look for is broadcast?n=5. Change the number five to any number you wish, and that is how many shared stories that you will display.

The folks over at arc90 lab have come out with another neat tool. This one makes it super easy to add those little external link icons next to your links.
The fourth tool out of the Arc90 lab addresses one of those problems that every web developer has struggled with at some point: opening links in a new browser window. External Link is a script that appends an icon to external links — an icon that opens the link in a new window. Now, the user has the choice to follow the link in the current window by clicking on the text, or open it in a new one with the icon. It’s a nice, clean solution.
+ Check out some of the other lab work!
