Snap Happy General web react-D3-components [github/codesuki] let React have complete control over the DOM, even when using D3. Radium [github/formidablelabs] gives React some tools to help manage inline styles without needing any CSS. From IFTTT, FastttCamera [github/ifttt] is a library for building powerful custom camera apps easily. Rewired Design Wired’s redesign looks great, read all about it here [wired]. Here’s a complete collection of first-time UX teardowns from User Onboarding [useronboard]. Nietzsche Ipsum [nietzsche-ipsum] will serve you as many words as you desire of truth. Ipsum is dead. New Angle SitePoint Today we had a look at the new stuff in Angular 2.0. We then explain how to create sites that appeal to Baidu, China’s answer to Google.

Goober News/business Uber basically hid its database key under a doormat and is now trying to subpoena the IP addresses for anyone who stumbled across it [arstechnica].

A bit old, but maybe you’ve not yet seen the concept pics for Google’s new campus [plus.google].

Those pics were hosted on Google+, a service that’s about to be split up into three: Hangouts, Photos and Streams [theverge]. Stack [macropod] looks like Trello for website development. Keep It Unreal Off-topic Unreal Engine 4 is now free forever [unrealengine], so go make some pretty games everyone!
