Text reflections with css and javascript: jQuery text reflection plugin
If you want to create a reflected text header, an often used solution is to dynamically create an image for each header which includes the reflection. However, this has some disadvantages. Therefore, I have created a jQuery plugin which uses only javascript and css to create reflections, and all you have to do is drop it into your page to make it work.

Sign in with oAuth where Twitter.com is blocked
In two days, Twitter will start to shut down basic authentication on their API. The only way to connect to the API will then be by using oAuth. This will force anyone who wants to use a Twitter web app to give that app access to their account. Every app has to redirect them to Twitter.com to do that.
However, in some places Twitter.com is being blocked – by censoring governments or overly zealous system administrators. That means that users in those places can no longer use Twitter. But as an app developer, you can quite easily build a workaround for some of those users.

You don’t want to lose your prospective customers before they’ve even got started. We have to make your Registration and Sign In flow really fool-proof.
This post offers you a couple of flowcharts which cover every step in a typical Registration and Log In process. To make things easy, I have added a set with example screens in html for every case you might encounter. And for those interested, I’m explaining the underlying thoughts.
