wysihtml5 – A better approach to rich text editing. WYSIWYG is still a topic of conversation, and it’s because of innovation like this. I’m really liking this project at first glance.

HTML5 Video Player | Video.js. Quite an impressive open source implementation of HTML5′s video. It aims for a cross-browser, consistent implementation of a modern video player. It’s fully featured and includes a lightweight Flash fallback (yes, that’s still both applicable and important). Additionally, you can piggyback the CDN-hosted version, or go ahead and do it [...]

Cut the Rope. This is pretty neat, and a good promotion from the IE team. To help promote the platform preview, they’ve recreated the popular iOS game Cut the Rope in HTML5.
