I started working on my personal site today and I've been using Jekyll for it to take advantage of GitHub pages, it's fantastically useful for someone like me who already keeps all their essays in markdown and knows their way around HTML an

Just thought I'd share my WIP port of Bootstrap to Sass, it's probably going to change a bit as I plan to make the styles for forms and such work with Rails' default generated HTML, but it's worth a look. http://frogbot.github.com/sassy-bo

Agreed, but effects like this are not style, they are a cheap veneer applied to otherwise poorly thought out designs. Fashionable kitsch integrated into otherwise unoriginal, uninspired designs.

I can't help but feel that emulating the iOS springboard in an app is simply confusing for the end user. Even I sometimes get confused by them, a common case being hitting the home button when reorganising icons and being unexpectedly sent

I had a shot at redesigning the page to make better use of space and condense down the many, many toolbars. http://cl.ly/BRCs

Note that it does have the shutter button on top, so that should help the user orient it correctly. Also I don't think a big screen is that necessary on a camera like this, it's uses seem pretty minimal, it's essentially only used as a view

Apple certainly does a lot of experimentation, but their approach differs greatly from Google's. The main reasoning behind Google Labs as far as I can determine is to expose projects to the broader world and determine which are best through

iMessage should work fine, location based reminders on the other hand are iPhone 4 and 4S only.

Out of curiosity, are you using this for Up On a Hill now?

Just a note, it'd be awesome if there was some way to specify the stylesheet used in the preview pane, I'd love to be able to see exactly how the result will look on my site.

Wow I'd never seen that before, very useful little tool.

Those using MultiMarkdown[1], which this app seemingly doesn't support, may be interested in the MultiMarkdown Composer app[2] that should be out within a month or so. It's being worked on by the (very) active developer of MultiMarkdown and

Marco has actually stated that he has 4.0 pretty much ready to ship as soon as iOS 5 comes out. However due to being built against the 5.0 SDK he can't release it any earlier than that.

Autolayout in Lion does something similar to this, it's quite nice after the springs and struts we were stuck with in previous versions of OS X.

I found parts of WM like the giant context menu with icons for every entry, ability to enable typewriter noises and other little features detracted from the overall experience but it's still a solid app. Since switching to OS X I've used By

17 years old and I can confirm this is indeed 'the business'[1], the retro aesthetic appeals to a lot of the younger demographic simply as a stylistic choice rather than a throwback to our youths. Limitation breeds innovation and as a resul

I think these brand pages tend to ultimately destroy the simple experience of interacting with other human beings which services like Google+ are built around. To be honest I'm pretty happy that things don't seem to be going that way, somet
