Some of the previous posts talk about TrialTool and using it to illustrate various client side APIs. An older post also featured the procedure to create your own example. All the examples are now hosted in a github project. At present, there are three APIs that are featured.
Jquery Templates
This project is a Jquery Templating engine and is hosted here. As Rey Bango put it in his blog,
the cool thing about templates is that it lets you easily structure your content display without all the hassle of string concatenation.The first set of examples used this this are from Rey's blog. The second set of examples uses the code listed on the github gh-pages of the project.
Firefox 4
Babu Srithar put together a set of examples showing some of the newer developer features that were released in Firefox 4 Beta. I could import only the examples for IndexedDB. This is exposed using the window.moz_indexedDB in Firefox. You can find more details about this on his blog post. This is interesting given that these APIs not documented in detailed and this would help developers get a feel of thenew APIs.
YUI Examples
This was a set of examples that I had written to show case YUI examples during the recent YAHOO India hack day. You can read more about this in the blog post. The examples were scraped from the index of examples from the YUI developer network and added to the project.
I am also talking to a couple of other people who said would be interested in using TrialTool to publish their examples. If you have client side API that you would like to have examples for, please do contact me, and I would be glad to help you with a version.

An Ubiquity plugin for sharing links on Friend Feed
The moment I saw ubiquity, I wanted to cook up some plugin for it. With the pseudo support for natural language processing, there are apparently many cool extensions that can be written. I read through the ubiquity developer guide and got to writing my first ubiquity plugin.
Since this is the first time, I am not straying away from the twitter example. The verb command would simply by "Share" and the supporting noun would be a text, a URL or this (referring to the current URL). The Page title and the URL would then be posted to my friendfeed page. I always wanted a quick way to share pages without really being forced to type annoying tags or descriptions and later search from the saved links. The FriendFeed search is good and I think this tool would get me that.
A little extension to this would be something in lines of a list of interesting web pages that I have read or mark to be read later. I could announce the webpages that I have read, with contents summarized using online summary tools. I was also looking at the nouns and verbs that ubiquity defines and a useful application would be to combine (something like a unix pipe) the commands into a mega mashup. There is already a command that does this, but it was still in beta and the syntax was not natural.
I hope I am also able to convert most of my firefox extensions to ubiquity commands so that I also end up saving some firefox memory !!
Watch out this space as I write about my learnings and implementations of ubiquity commands.
