What it does
A humble HTTP request library . Simplify how you interact with other sites and leave your worries behind. Requests is a HTTP library written in PHP, for human beings. It is roughly based on the API from the excellent Requests Python library . Requests is ISC Licensed (similar to the new BSD license) and has no dependencies, except for PHP 5.6+. Despite PHP’s use as a language for the web, its tools for sending HTTP requests are severely lacking. cURL has an interesting API , to say the least, and you can’t always rely on it being available. Sockets provide only low level access, and require you to build most of the HTTP response parsing yourself. We all have better things to do. That’s why…from requests.ryanmccue.info

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.
