manifoldjs
The simplest way to create hosted apps across platforms and devices. Start using manifoldJS as part of your build process:
npm install manifoldjs
grunt manifoldjs
By Microsoft. Licensed under the MIT license.
Why manifoldJS?
manifoldJS helps you reach more users than ever by packaging your web experience as native apps across Android, iOS, and Windows.
How manifoldJS Works
manifoldJS takes the meta-data about your site and generates native "hosted" apps. If the platform doesn’t support hosted apps, we use Cordova to polyfill it.
Standards-based
manifoldJS is based on the latest W3C Manifest working draft. We will update manifoldJS as the spec evolves so that you can have confidence that your apps will continue to work.
clusterize.js
http://nexts.github.io/Clusterize.js/
Clusterize.js - Tiny plugin to display large data sets easily.
Licensed under the MIT license.
How does it work?
The main idea is not to pollute DOM with all used tags. Instead of that
- it splits the list to clusters, then shows elements for current scroll position and adds extra rows to top and bottom of the list to emulate full height of table so that browser shows scrollbar as for full list.
vanillajs
Vanilla JS is a fast, lightweight, cross-platform framework for building incredible, powerful JavaScript applications.
Although this is somewhat tongue-in-cheek, it does highlight that plain Javascript already has a lot to offer, including browser DOM access and the ability to run almost anywhere.
jquerymy.js
http://jquerymy.com jquerymy.js - A lightweight jQuery plugin for complex two-way data binding in real time.
jQuery.my is licensed under MIT.
How it works
jQuery.my is a plugin for real time two-way data binding. It mutates object given as data source, reflecting interactions between user and UI.
Data bindings, facade appearance and CSS styling of an app are all defined using single manifest, which is standard javascript object. Manifests are JSONable.
jQuery.my recognize both standard HTML controls and complex composites created using rich ui plugins. Controls built with jQuery UI, Select2, CodeMirror, Ace, Redactor, CLeditor, jQuery Mobile are supported out of the box.
jQuery.my provides comprehensive validation, conditional formatting, complex dependencies, runtime form structure manipulation. $.my forms can run nested, each jQuery.my instance can be a composite control for parent form.
Syntax of $.my manifest is very simple, lean and unobtrusive. There exist specialized in-browser IDE for $.my apps authoring. This IDE is a built-in component of cloudwall.me system.

ramjet.js
http://www.rich-harris.co.uk/ramjet/
Ramjet makes it looks as though one DOM element is capable of transforming into another, no matter where the two elements sit in the DOM tree.
It does so by making copies of the two elements (and all their children), setting a fixed position on each, then using CSS transforms to morph the two elements in sync.
Ramjet is free and open source software released under the MIT License.

Underscore is a JavaScript library that provides a whole mess of useful functional programming helpers without extending any built-in objects. It’s the answer to the question: “If I sit down in front of a blank HTML page, and want to start being productive immediately, what do I need?” … and the tie to go along with jQuery’s tux and Backbone’s suspenders.
License

angularjs
Why AngularJS?
HTML is great for declaring static documents, but it falters when we try to use it for declaring dynamic views in web-applications. AngularJS lets you extend HTML vocabulary for your application. The resulting environment is extraordinarily expressive, readable, and quick to develop.
This is Angular 1, for version 2 see https://angular.io/
