Many times we like the way a table looks when generated, but when you look at the code you see more style properties and non-XHTML compliant attributes that make shun away. The same thing happens when pasting from Word into a WYSIWYG. Trying to remove the unnecessary code can be laborious. That’s where WordOff comes in handy.
Making interfaces attractive is a priority when creating web applications. When it came to uploading a file, it got pretty ugly. There were no simple or standard ways to modify the Browse button for user. Things have changed quite a bit from a design and development standpoint. FancyUpload is the proof of that change.
When launching a new website, we want to stay in touch with our visitors. We want to let them know any updates and progress that has been made, and perhaps inform them of the official launch. We don’t need a full blown Newsletter management system – just a simple one. That’s where Mailist comes into play.
jQuery has changed the way many Ajax developers code. Its simple and easy to understand framework is second to none. Along with the development side of things, jQuery also opened the door for designers to create awesome interfaces with features that were not possible before. Creating themes for jQuery components used to take time, but with a little help from Filament Group, making themes is, well… fun.
Things have been busy. School, work, projects, family, friends, and other group responsibilities have slowed me down. However, I am continuing to find new helpful web applications to share with my fellow developers and designers. For the long version of what I’ve been up to, go ahead and continue reading.
Working alongside our client or fellow designers can be hard when you’re half a world away. Many freelancers telecommute (duh.) and therefore are unable to meet at a coffee shop or visit a friends house for a design party. It’s a sad fact sometimes, but perhaps we can harness the one thing that holds us all together – the internet, through a program named Scribblar.
Displaying data is a problem. You have to show results of hundreds of values and be interpreted not just on the fly, but have a lasting impression. Displaying the data within a chart or graph is the most effective way to approach the problem. Throw in a simple installation mixed with a beautiful interface and you’ve got yourself a great charting library named pChart.
