Adding edge swipe to SFSafariViewController

Aspects

Library for aspect oriented programming. Think of Aspects as method swizzling on steroids. It allows you to add code to existing methods per class or per instance, whilst thinking of the insertion point e.g. before/instead/after. Aspects automatically deals with calling super and is easier to use than regular method swizzling.

Flexbugs

A community-curated list of flexbox issues and cross-browser workarounds for them.

velocity-react

React components for interacting with the Velocity DOM animation library.

BBEdit Expert Preferences

There are a number of behaviors in BBEdit for which there are no UI controls in the Preferences window; this is typically because the settings are so obscure that placing them in the Preferences window would just make it complicated. In fact, some of these settings were in the Preferences window, and have been removed in order to simplify the interface; in such cases, any changes you made previously will be honored, even though the UI in the Preferences window is gone.

asciimoo/memspector

Inspect memory usage of Python functions.

facebook/pfff

pfff is a set of tools and APIs to perform some static analysis (e.g. to find bugs), dynamic analysis, source code indexing, code search, code visualizations, code navigations, or style-preserving source-to-source transformations such as refactorings on source code. There is good support for C, Java, PHP, JavaScript, HTML, CSS, and preliminary support for C++, Rust, C#, Erlang, Lisp, Scheme, Haskell, Python, OPA, Sql, and even TeX. There is also very good support for OCaml and noweb (literate programming) so that pfff can be used on the code of pfff itself.

react-strict-prop-types

A higher order component that raises an error if a component is used with an unknown property. A property is considered unknown when it is not defined in the component propTypes declaration.

Cosmos

Cosmos scans your project for React component fixtures and loads them inside ComponentPlayground, enabling you to:

1. Render your components under any combination of props and state
2. See component states evolve in real-time as you interact with running instances

Six Speed

Performance of ES6 features (as implemented natively and via transpilers) relative to the ES5 baseline operations per second.

v8-perf

Notes and resources related to v8 and thus Node.js performance.

Delivering high scroll performance

To diagnose jerky scrolling in their iOS app, Facebook measures the frame rate and when it drops below a certain threshold it has a watchdog thread that sends a signal to the main thread to get a stack trace of what is resulting in slow rendering. Sample code provided.

@import Frameworks into LLDB

Can now say expr @import Foundation(or UIKit or Cocoa) to get access to Foundation/UIKit/AppKit methods in the Xcode debugger.

jscodeshift

jscodeshift is a toolkit for running codemods over multiple JS files.

See also js-codemod, which contains a collection of codemod scripts based on jscodeshift.

A Complete Guide to Flexbox

paulirish/memory-stats.js

Gauge for JS heap size. See also stats.js for an FPS display.

Detecting Element Resizing

sdecima/javascript-detect-element-resize and KyleAMathews/element-resize-event both appear to use two <div> and scroll events to detect resizing without polling.

Animating SVGs With CSS Transforms

Necessary for hitting 60 FPS on mobile.

NuclearMail

UIKit Debug Mode

UIKit has hidden, useful debug flags for gesture/touch/animation logs, enable "InternalBuild" mode to switch them on.

fishhook

fishhook is a very simple library that enables dynamically rebinding symbols in Mach-O binaries running on iOS in the simulator and on device. This provides functionality that is similar to using DYLD_INTERPOSE on OS X. At Facebook, we've found it useful as a way to hook calls in libSystem for debugging/tracing purposes (for example, auditing for double-close issues with file descriptors).

Towards declarative touch interactions Slalom

A system with prototype implementation for concisely describing and implementing a class of touch interactions.

Xcode Consolation

Tips on using the Xcode debugging console (i.e. LLDB), notably on using regular expressions to add lots of breakpoints to trace execution.
