I'm not sure how these are innovative at all as it's just three Div's and some CSS. Yes it does use CSS gradients and box shadows to look a little nicer but this is realy something that can be whipped up in a few lines of CSS. Does it realy warrant a GitHub project? It would be better as a tutorial showing others how to make it from scratch.

The code itself is simple enough to function as a tutorial, no?

I'd much rather wade through the html and css in a github project then try to decode the ramblings of a hastily written tutorial.

I wrote something very similar a couple weeks ago - going to go back and apply some of the nice visual effects this contribution shows - very appreciated!

This is useful. They look great. I recently used SWFUpload to allow customers to upload large files directly to S3 and it works great. However, it provides no UI for keeping users informed about the status of their uploads out of the box. Twitter Bootstrap also doesn't provide anything like this. In that instance I ended up putting something together myself, but I'd have way rather have had something like this to use off the shelf. Thanks!

Hmm, I tend to agree with samwillis. I'm not trying to tear down the contributions of others, but it's worth stating that although the shadows and gradients are nice, there's nothing about these progress bars that requires CSS3.
