Node Redis Pubsub

Louis Chatriot sent in NRP (Node Redis Pubsub) (GitHub: louischatriot / node-redis-pubsub, License: MIT, npm: node-redis-pubsub) which provides a Node-friendly API to Redis’ pub/sub functionality. The API looks a lot like EventEmitter, so if you need to communicate between separate processes and you’re using Redis then this might be a good solution.

Louis says he’s using it at tl;dr in production, and the project comes with tests.

node-version-assets

node-version-assets (GitHub: techjacker / node-version-assets, License: MIT, npm: node-version-assets) by Andrew Griffiths is a module for hashing assets and placing the hash in the filename. For example, styles.css would become styles.7d47723e723251c776ce9deb5e23062b.css. This is implemented using Node’s file system streams, and the author has provided a Grunt example in case you want to invoke it that way.
