"A library any developer can use to put a video stream and get a playable url for it, while it gets ingested, stored, transcoded and distributed behind the scenes, all through non-centralised means. With this, one can easily build out-of-the box decentralisable video-powered web applications. Paratii.JS has early functionalities for handling tokens too, meaning one will soon be able to use it to set monetisation models for videos, collect earnings, participate in curation, and else."

"Voice is natural, voice is human. That's why we're fascinated with creating usable voice technology for our machines. But most of that technology is locked up in a few big corporations and isn't available to the majority of developers. We think that stifles innovation so we're launching Project Common Voice, a project to help make voice recognition open to everyone. Now you can donate your voice to help us build an open-source voice recognition engine that anyone can use to make innovative apps for devices and the web."
RacontR is changing bit by bit the way we approach interactive storytelling and web interface design with a dash of creativity and without a single line of code.

Powered entirely by HTML5 and open
source JavaScript libraries, One
Millionth Tower is loaded with photos and information
from all over the web, and exists in an online environment that is
about as close to three-dimensional as something on a flat screen
can get.
It exists
in a 3D setting made possible by a tool called three.js, which lets
viewers walk around the high-rise neighborhood. Moving through
allows viewers to see the current state of urban decay, then
activate elements to show ways the residents would change their
world, like an animation showing where a new playground or garden
would go.
The interactive movie is chock-full of photos from
Flickr, street-views from
Google Maps and changing environments fueled by real-time
weather data from Yahoo. Everything is triggered by Popcorn.js, which acts
like a conductor signaling which instruments play at what
times
