Issue #80

Number one this week, InfiniteGrid is a JavaScript library to arrange card elements on the screen by creating various kinds of layout:

  • “grid layouts” to make images with the same width stack properly
  • “justified layouts” to arrange the content by rows
  • “square layouts” to arrange squared images of different size, creating a nice checkerboard
  • and many more, check the documentation to see all the layouts in action.

An interesting point is the focus on performance: as the user scrolls through the elements, the library automatically re-uses the DOM elements that leave the viewport, to keep the number of DOM elements constant.

Let’s finish with a short update about Best of JavaScript.

We have improved the page that shows the project’s details. In addition of the heat map that shows the stars added day by day, we provide a graph of the stars added month by month, to get a better understanding of the overall trends.

Reach us on GitHub if you have any feedback, thank you!
