Web excursions: March 17, 2012 - March 28, 2012

Links of interest from March 17, 2012 through March 28, 2012:

hammer.js

This is a really handy little jQuery plugin for touch events, even for desktop browsers where you want to capture holds, drags and double-clicks. Lightweight with a good API.

jQuery Scroll Path

I have no practical use (that I can think of) for this Canvas/jQuery-based scrolling plugin that lets you cause standard scroll gestures to weave around in any direction(s) you choose. I love it anyway.

Everything you always wanted to know about touch icons

Really great post on touch icons (“favicons” for iOS website/app display). Up-to-date with new iPad retina info.

Sexy Code Snippet Management With Gists

I’ve been treading down this path myself lately. Sublime Text 2 on Github action is kind of hot.
