jQuery-Machine, kick-ass finite state machines
I developed this tiny weapon to assist me in producing smart multi-state UI elements. It is a clean, simple and efficient approach to finite state machines packaged into a lightweight jQuery plugin. Download it and fork the code on the project's GitHub page.
NoiseGen, background noise with JavaScript
NoiseGen is another micro project of mine. It's a simple jQuery plugin to dynamically generate background noise. It provides a fallback for browsers that don't support the canvas element and many useful configuration options. You can see a demo here or read about it on PrimeGap.
JSterminal, a bookmarklet to rule 'em all
A CLI-like universal bookmarklet, with an extensible API, for the ultimate geek. Try it out.
DailyWits, collect your personal wisdom
DailyWits is a cute little Web app I designed with my girlfriend. It lets you write down and share the lessons you learn every day, and build your own book of wisdom. For example, this is my personal DailyWits book.
Moka, a damn cool static website framework
Moka is a framework I coded for developing static websites with the style and simplicity of haiku poetry (this website was entirely built with it). It minimizes chores and maximizes creativity. It is (naturally) open source, written in pure Ruby and released as a Ruby gem. I'm sure you'll hear great things about it very soon!
jQCloud, neat word clouds with jQuery
I recently developed jQCloud, an open source jQuery plugin to make beautiful pure HTML word clouds and tag clouds. You can see a demo, read a tutorial and have a look at the the source code and fork it on GitHub.
PrimeGap
The blog in which Luca Tironi, Andrea Mostosi and I share the gotchas and tricks of the trade that we discover in our development works. Check it out!
SDA Bocconi Learning Lab
My past employer, where I performed research and developed web apps to support experiential learning in the Business School. It is a cool place, in which a crew of alpha geeks performs a lot of creative hacks and code kung fu. Many of the creative ninjas I know have been part of this lab at some point in their career.
A Collective Brain
Have you ever thought about the fact that huge networks of active Internet users, like Twitter or the Web itself, may display a self-organizing behavior and emergent collective computational capabilities? I'm doing some research and I wrote my master thesis on this...
HTML Terminal
This HTML + CSS + JavaScript command line terminal emulation is just a random experiment, but it would make a cool geeky login interface for a hacker site... If you want to use it, mod it and make it better let me know!
My OpenProcessing Sketches
Have a look at some of my experiments and tinkering with the awesome Processing language.
VirtualPlantz
Developed years ago, VirtualPlantz was one of my first complete web app. I made it for fun, but it eventually gained thousands of registered users and helped me win a couple of competitions. It was a sort of pre-facebook-boom FarmVille.
HTML5 toggle button
I recently wrote a post on how to easily make a nice HTML5 + CSS3 + JavaScript toggle button. Have a look at it.
