Lately I was in need of a financial gadget that can provide stock exchange and currency data. I guess it goes without saying that you can find many solutions for the problem; in my case though none of them (that I found) was good enough to work with. I needed a free, reliable and highly customizable API. Unfortunately most of the free ones either come with an ugly copyright line which means a no go (why would you want to advertise your competition?), or they have some customization issues.

I’ve started this plugin a few months ago after the first “meeting” with jParallax. I was amazed by the idea; it is so simple but still provides a real-life experience. I was thinking about possible usages, but I was quite busy that time so I could not go any further. Then, somehow I obtained some extra time, so I came up with this

This little jQuery image gallery plugin is basicly recreates the standard built-in window scrolling with a smooth easing effect. It is still in an early, development state, thus it may suffer from issues; but I will be working on it to make jReelGallery a more solid and robust widget.
