CanvasMol molecule viewer (JS + canvas demo)

In plain words

CanvasMol is an interactive 3D molecule viewer built with HTML5 and canvas technology. It displays molecular structures from PDB, MOL, and SDF file formats directly in web browsers. The tool includes rotation controls optimized for touchscreen devices like iPhones. It is designed for scientists and researchers who need to visualize molecular structures online. Performance may be limited with complex molecules, and autorotation can cause browser slowdown.

  A JavaScript library for data visualization in both SVG and Canvas2024 · github.com · ▲161

  Here's a project I've been working on for a little while now. Ripl is a JS library that provides a unified API for rendering shapes on both canvas and SVG interchangeably. Over the years I've used D3 extensively to create data visualisations so I figured I'd have a go at making my own version with a slightly more modern API and stricter TypeScript support. I am aware there are already libraries that can draw to multiple contexts interchangeably, but I've added a few little niceties to Ripl that (as far as I know) some other libraries don't have such as CSS-like query selectors, DOM-like…

  Super Hacker News adds one page browsing & keyboard navigation to HN▲10

  HN has been a destination on the Web for me recently, but I've had trouble really _getting into_ it. I realized that was because there wasn't an intuitive way for me to browse through articles, comments and authors. I started working on a GreaseMonkey script for myself and, as I got into it, decided I would share it with others who may be interested. SuperHN keeps everything on one page and adds keyboard navigation. 'W' and 'S' browse through articles, 'A' and 'D' cycles through an article, its comments and poster. It also makes the front page a bit more readable. You can get Super Hacker…

  TeamPostgreSQL, neat admin interface for PostgreSQL▲10

  I am just getting ready to release TeamPostgreSQL 1.05. You can check it out here: http://www.teampostgresql.com It is a web-based admin interface for PostgreSQL, with a lot of work put into making it a user-friendly and productive way to work with the database. Hopefully this makes it ideal for when different people need to access the database, including developers, testers, support staff, managers etc. This will be the first release after several months of beta testing and user feedback.
