5. Split.js
Split.js is a lightweight, unopinionated utility for creating adjustable split views or panes with javascript. Views can be split horizontally or vertically, with draggable gutters inserted between every two elements.
6. Lebella.js
If you try to place labels for points on a timeline (or any 1D space), one common problem is the labels often overlap. Labella.js will help you to fix this.
7. Jump.js
jump.js is a small, modern, dependency-free smooth scrolling library. Jump was developed with a modern JavaScript workflow in mind. To use it, it’s recommended you have a build system in place that can transpile ES6, and bundle modules.

10. RobotJS
RobotJS provides Node.js desktop automation. Use it to control the mouse, keyboard, and read the screen.
11. ScrollReveal.js
ScrollReveal.js is a library to easily reveal elements as they enter the viewport. It’s very small in size, as its weight is roughly 3Kb if minified and gzipped. It has no dependencies, so you don’t need to add other libraries to use it like jQuery. In addition to the nice effects it supports, what I really like about this library is that you can use natural language to define the animation you want to run. ScrollReveal supports 3d rotation out of the box, but you may want to emphasize the effect by specifying a perspective property on your container.
12. Colz
Colz is a Javascript library that lets you convert colors between RGB / Hex / HSL / HSV / HSB color spaces. It provides several toString helpers to ease its use in CSS / HTML5 Canvas projects. Also provides some helpers to create “color schemes” or “color palettes”.
