In plain words
Parallax.js is a JavaScript library that creates parallax scrolling effects on web pages. Launched in 2012, it enables developers to build interactive visual experiences where background elements move at different speeds than foreground content. The tool is designed for web developers and designers who want to add depth and motion to their websites without complex coding. It simplifies the implementation of parallax effects, making it accessible for weekend projects and professional work alike.

A javascript library that allows easy manipulation of the favicon to include nice looking alert bubbles. This means that users can pin your site and still see when their attention is needed! It's been done before, but in my opinion not in a way aesthetically pleasing enough for production use. This library also falls back to the standard number in page title approach for browsers that do no support canvas / dynamic favicons. Thoughts welcome.
