Christian Heilmann
PJScrape is a scraping network in JavaScript using
PhantomJS. It allows you to get web sites from the command line after JavaScript changed the content. This allows you to get content written out with JavaScript without having to copy and paste generated content.

Periodic table of HTML5 elements: I am a sucker for creative periodic tables. This one groups groups the HTML5 elements functionally, which can be more informative than an alphabetical listing.

Louis-Rémi Babe
A bit of self advertisement: Mozilla wants addons developer feedback about what they think we have done right, what went wrong and what should be improved. If you are a developer, you can help us help you by
filling the survey.

CodeMirror is a little JavaScript library that gives you a pretty-looking code editor within the browser. I’ve seen it used during presentations at conferences, and within tutorials on the Web to quickly teach code in an interactive way. I’m sure there are plenty of other uses for it.
