Vippy, HTML5 video publishing

Vippy is an online video publishing platform based on HTML5.

Its creators started developing Vippy when their clients began asking for mobile support for their videos, so instead of doing something different for every project, they came up with a very interesting product that supports multiple formats and, of course, multiple browsers.

Check out its features and pricing.

LimeJS, HTML5 game framework

LimeJS is a HTML5 game framework for building fast, native-experience games for all modern touchscreens and desktop browsers. Its goal, according to the creators, is quite clear and simple: to provide an easy way to build good game experience without thinking about inner workings.

Check LimeJS‘s official site or its GitHub repository.

HTML5 Logo

The W3C has presented a logo for HTML5 that also includes a group of icons to identify some of its new technologies.

It stands strong and true, resilient and universal as the markup you write. It shines as bright and as bold as the forward-thinking, dedicated web developers you are. It’s the standard’s standard, a pennant for progress. And it certainly doesn’t use tables for layout.

We present an HTML5 logo.

You can download the logo, some templates and the icons on its official site.

Arcade Fire meets HTML5

The Wilderness Downtown is a project created by writer/director Chris Milk with the band Arcade Fire and Google. The project was built around the song “We Used to Wait”, giving each user a personalized experience using HTML5 and integrating online tools like Google Maps.

HTML5 reset

HTML5 Reset is a set of files you can use as a template to start a new project. The HTML file contains a rudimentary HTML5 document structure, with all the every day stuff like title, header, footer, etc. It also uses conditional comments to call about half a dozen IE-specific CSS files, as well as a couple popular IE-correcting javascript files. You can choose from two versions, the “full version” and one that has just the basic features. Both versions are downloadable here.

HTML5 Pacman

Another great example of some of the things that can be done using HTML 5 features: Dale Harvey created a playable HTML5 Pacman.

RGraph HTML5 graph library based on canvas

RGraph is a HTML5 library that uses the canvas element to create a wide variety of graph types: bar charts, line graphs, pie charts, progress bars, and a lot more. You can check some of the examples or read about all its features.

Guacamole: A VNC viewer powered by HTML5

Guacamole allows you to access to your VNC server using just a browser, an HTML5 + JavaScript (AJAX) viewer for VNC, which makes use of a server-side proxy written in Java. The current version is almost as responsive as native VNC and should work in any browser supporting the HTML5 canvas tag.

Read more about Guacamole and its features in its official site.

Update: As Mariana says in the comments, another web based VNC alternative is ThinVNC, a pure HTML & AJAX Remote Desktop implementation.

The Experiments of Hakim

Hakim El Hattab, an interactive developer from Sweden, has created some really great HTML 5 experiments using javascript, the canvas element and some physics.

HTML5Rocks

HTML5Rocks is a great website that combines an interactive presentation about HTML 5 with tutorials and a very cool playground, where you can play with some of the HTML 5 features while watching the code.
