¶ Why Subreply?
Subreply is to Twitter what Pinboard is to Delicious, Reddit to Digg, Linux to Windows, Android to iOS, etc.
¶ Plane and simple
Some people will argue about the grammar difference between “plane” and “plain”, others will accept the title as it is, but very few will notice the creativity, the genius, the magic.
¶ Building Subreply
In a world where nothing is taken for granted, where nothing is given for granted, we have to stand on our own, to make a stand, to give our dreams some perspective, some depth.
¶ JSON without curly braces
I find creating and reading JSON files insanely hard and complex. This is why I want to create a format that’s simple to understand, manage and write by humans. It’s backward compatible with JSON. As you can see I was inspired by Sass and Python. You can call this object notation format: LMON (light machine object notation), PYON, JSON lite or you can come up with a better name.
¶ Animated 3D logo in CSS
I wanted to create a special logo for Subreply, a new product from me. I ended up with an orbital solution that was actually a hack on display refresh rate. Basically the refresh rate of a computer monitor is 60 Hz, but the circle rotated at an higher rate. It created the ilusion that there were more than one circle rotating.

Designers are getting tired of “flat design” trend. What’s next? I would say black and white because “flat” became a colour mess.
¶ Just another avatar
We’ve become… scratch that. We are empty avatars on meaningless social networks.
¶ The day I learned to let go
…was the best day of my life.
¶ Insanely simple
These days I learnt that there’s no such thing as too simple. After years of design work, this is a relieve. I’ve told clients that simple is the way to go, but they always asked for more beautiful complex things.

These are a couple of tips and tricks about how to speed up your web development process. Most of us use basically the same tools: Django or Ruby on Rails, Sass, Git and a nice text editor like Sublime Text, Textmate or Coda.
