•    Ruby

---

capybara-screenshot used with Capybara and Cucumber, Rspec or Minitest, will capture a screen shot for each failure in your test suite. The HTML for the failed page, and a screenshot image (when using capybara-webkit, Selenium or poltergeist) is saved into $APPLICATION_ROOT/tmp/capybara. Having screenshots readily available for each test failure is incredibly helpful when trying to quickly diagnose a problem in your failing steps. You can view the source code, and have a screen shot of the page (when applicable), at the time of each failure.

adept-jpg-compressor - A Bash script to automate adaptive JPEG compression using common CLI tools

•    Shell

---

When compressing JPEG images, the same compression level is used on the entire image. However, most JPEG images contain homogeneous and heterogeneous areas, which are varyingly well-suited for compression. Compressing heterogeneous areas in JPEGs to reduce filesize causes compression artefacts due to the lossy nature of JPEG compression. This script adaptively alters the compression level for areas within JPEGs (per-block) to achieve optimized file size while maintaining a decent visual quality. This script achieves a significantly reduced file size compared to standard tools such as cjpeg while maintaining good visual quality, as can be measured via SSIM. This is good news for the Web Performance and thus Web Developer community to achieve a great user experience on websites.

prerender - Node server that uses Headless Chrome to render a javascript-rendered page as HTML

•    Javascript

---

Prerender is a node server that uses Headless Chrome to render HTML, screenshots, PDFs, and HAR files out of any web page.

node-exif - A node.js library to extract Exif metadata from images.

•    Javascript

---

With node-exif you can extract Exif metadata from images (JPEG). Exif is a format used, for example, by digital cameras and scanners to save additional information about an image in the image file. This information can be the camera model, resolution, where the image was taken (GPS) or when it was taken. Rodrigo Espinosa proposes the npm package exif-cli to execute node-exif from a shell.

Responsive-Images - NOTE: use Picturefill instead

•    Javascript

---

The goal of this technique is to deliver optimized, contextual image sizes in responsive layouts that utilize dramatically different image sizes at different resolutions. Ideally, this could enable developers to start with mobile-optimized images in their HTML and specify a larger size to be used for users with larger screen resolutions -- without requesting both image sizes, and without UA sniffing. As soon as rwd-images.js loads, it tests the screen width, and if it's large, it inserts a BASE element into the head of your page, directing all subsequent image, script, and stylesheet requests through a fictitious directory called "/rwd-router/". As these requests reach the server, the .htaccess file determines whether the request is a responsive image or not (does it have a ?full query parameter?). It redirects responsive image requests immediately to their full size, while all non-responsive-image requests go to their proper destination through a URL rewrite that ignores the "/rwd-router/" segment.
