7. Unison.js
Unison.js is a small plugin (450 bytes minified, 144 bytes gzipped) that allows you to declare named breakpoints in one place and automatically sync them across your javascript and markup. When all of your front-end technologies share breakpoint information, complex responsive tasks such as conditional loading and image swapping become much simpler and straight-forward. There is also a debug feature which prints the breakpoints to see them easier.
8. Echo.js
Echo is a standalone JavaScript lazy-loading image tool. Echo is fast, less than 1KB and uses HTML5 data- attributes. Echo works in IE8+. Echo.js is probably as simple as image lazy loading gets, it’s less than 1KB minified and is library agnostic (no jQuery/Zepto/other).
Lazy-loading works by only loading the assets needed when the elements ‘would’ be in view, which it’ll get from the server for you upon request, which is automated by simply changing the image src attribute. This is also an asynchronous process which also benefits us.
9. Headroom.js
Headroom.js is a lightweight, high-performance JS widget (with no dependencies!) that allows you to react to the user’s scroll. The header on this site is a living example, it slides out of view when scrolling down and slides back in when scrolling up. Using headroom.js is really simple. It has a pure JS API, and an optional jQuery/Zepto-compatible plugin. Headroom.js allows you to bring elements into view when appropriate, and give focus to your content the rest of the time.
10. Math.js
Math.js is an extensive math library for JavaScript and Node.js. It features a flexible expression parser and offers an integrated solution to work with numbers, big numbers, complex numbers, units, and matrices. Powerful and easy to use.
