Scrollback - Add Live Chat To Your Website [Open Source] http://mitchmckenna.com/post/15277/scrollback-add-live-chat-to-your-website-open-source

I first saw Scrollback being used on Tomahawk's website. You can embed a live chatbox to your website using this nodejs app. Archives all your conversations. Admin panel allows you to moderate conversations and hide messages. Customize your Scrollback chat widget to match the branding of your website or blog. Integrate your IRC channel with your Scrollback room, which means you could include github notifications for your project as well.

Tomahawk - Music Player; Cross Platform, Open Source http://mitchmckenna.com/post/15271/tomahawk-music-player-cross-platform-open-source

Spotify recently butchered the ability to play local MP3's. They removing the ability to sort local files by recently added, local file search, and the ability to add files to a playlist. So after giving iTunes another shot (unsuccessfully), I was on the hunt for a music player for mac which could monitor a folder for new MP3's and I could play by recently added. Tomahawk fit the bill, and it's open source to boot.

Swagger: REST API Documentation Generator http://mitchmckenna.com/post/13301/swagger-rest-api-documentation-generator

Swagger is a popular open source spec to auto-generate very nice looking API documentation with the ability to easily try any API request. You can use the Swagger's own swagger-core framework for node.js, Java or scala, but there's is also support in many other languages because of the strong open source community behind it for other languages like PHP, Ruby, Python, etc. Swagger's biggest open source competitor is Mashery's I/O Docs.

neo4j: Graph / Hierarchy NOSQL Database http://mitchmckenna.com/post/10483/neo4j-graph-hierarchy-nosql-database

Neo4j is an open source graph database, storing data in the nodes and relationships of a graph.

An intuitive graph-oriented model for data representation. A disk-based, native storage manager completely optimized for storing graph structures for maximum performance and scalability. Neo4j can handle graphs of several billion nodes/relationships/properties on a single machine and can be sharded to scale out across multiple machines. A powerful traversal framework for high-speed traversals in the node space. Can be deployed as a full server or a very slim database with a small footprint (~750k jar). A simple and convenient object-oriented API.

Unlike twitter's FlockDB, neo4j can handle multiple levels of hierarchy. However where FlockDB is better is it's low latency, high throughput and inherent distributed nature.
