Diversions 81

  • Bean
    “Bean is a small, easy-to-use word processor (or more precisely, a rich text editor), designed to make writing convenient, efficient and comfortable. Bean is Open Source, fully Cocoa, and is available free of charge! MS Word, OpenOffice, etc. try to be all things to all people. But sometimes you just want the right tool for the job. That is Bean’s niche.”
  • VaryWell
    Inserting (whoops!) Interesting Flash interface.
  • Letters & Numbers
    Nice design work. Some nice interaction as well.
  • Alan Cook
    Really like the simplicity of Alan Cook’s photography portfolio. Eschews conventions in favour of getting the focus on the work itself.
  • SeeShell
    SeeShell is an augmented Oyster Card (the RFID-enabled Underground ticket) holder which displays, over time, the journeys a rider has taken. Great stuff. Love the way this blends seamlessly with existing behaviour.
  • Viget Inspire
    Not often I get excited about CSS/standards driven design these days. Viget’s Inspire blog is an exception though. The typography and overall look-and-feel is wonderful.
  • Moodboard
    Some nice interaction design on this stock photography site (especially the ‘add to moodboard’ feature). Also good attention to detail on the visual design (my fave being the overlapping arrow on the add to moodboard prompt).
  • GotoChina
    Just nice.
