We’ve been busy lately at Ordered List. The past 4 weeks have seen the start, and near first-draft completion of our newest application, Gauges. It was a unique design challenge that really got me thinking about designing for usage, not just the content.
This week Steve and I attended MongoChicago, a one day conference dedicated to MongoDB. If you are not familiar with MongoDB, it is an open source, document database and it powers Harmony. One of the things that impressed me most was the layout/design of the conference badges.
I hear this phrase a lot, and even recently, out of my own mouth: “Users are stupid, so we have to dumb this down to the lowest common denominator.” Stop it. Just stop it.
We’ve been focusing our efforts on building Harmony the past few months, but we recently carved out some time to give our site some much needed love and attention.
