GitHub Reflog v1.5.16

Welcome to GitHub Reflog - a weekly chronicle of great GitHub repositories and community activities. Previous issues are available in the Reflog Archive .

Thanks for the excellent work of Alexander Marshalov, the Reflog archive has now been translated into Russian !

Recommended repository of the week

yostudios / Spritemapper

Spritemapper is a console application for generating CSS sprites from existing CSS files. It uses merging PNG images into one and generating a new CSS file using a new sprite map.

It also includes its own PNG and CSS parser. All you need is a Python interpreter. If you have ever had to debug a PIL setup, you know how important this is.

This week's amazing repository

jstrait / beats

This project is really awesome.

BEATS is a console audio sequencer written in Ruby.

Music is programmed in YAML. Input files define instruments (samples), their sequences and the complete structure of the song. The resulting songs can be exported to LPCM WAV for later listening / mixing.
