August 2nd, 2011 No Comments

I’m not the biggest fan of Firefox. It’s clunky and slow and feeling a little old as a result but these proposed redesigns from the Firefox UX Team are really refreshing. Unfortunately I don’t have anymore information than what’s on the linked page but I really hope they push forward in this direction because it looks great.

The Expressive Web

August 2nd, 2011 No Comments

We recently launched a beta of new site we have been working on, called theexpressiveweb.com. This is a project we have put together with the help of Big Spaceship with the goal of creating both a resource and showcase that highlights some of the most creative and expressive features being added to the web today (see Figure 1). In addition to highlighting and providing information on twelve new HTML5 and CSS3 features, the site itself makes extensive use of new features such as CSS3 transitions, CSS3 transforms, web storage and more to provide a visually compelling resource for learning more about HTML5 and CSS3.

This is a stunning example of what can be done with HTML5 and CSS3 and believe it or not it’s from Adobe. It just shows that when they embrace the latest technology they can produce some seriously impressive work. Now Adobe, please fix Photoshop! We know you can.

Chosen is a javsacript plug-in that makes long, unwieldy select boxes much more user-friendly. It is currently available in both jQuery and Prototype flavors

Very nice way to enhance the user experience of select boxes, especially the Google+ style multi select groups.

What can you do with only 1K of CSS? I would really love to have a go but unfortunately I just don’t have the time at the moment. The winners of JS1K are very impressive so it should be good to see what can be done with only CSS.

Adobe need to pay theTeam to bring this idea into Photoshop. They’ll probably just steal it but I would like for the original creators to get something out of it. In fact, Adobe are probably not currently savvy enough to see this is something that would make a fantastic addition to their software.
