Websites I have created for others
Other cool sites worth mentioning
- Yoowhoo - a really cool service for getting party banners, invites, wrapping paper, wallpaper etc. personalised with your own text and photos.
DynaLoad
I have created a library which utilises the new JavaScript pushState functionality to dynamically load content whilst maintaining history and allowing for bookmarks.
Episodes
Episodes is a web performance measuring tool developed by Steve Sounders of Google. I have played around with it to give an idea of what you can do with it. It measures the time taken to do various things while loading a webpage. This can be used to figure out which parts of your site are particularly slow. This information can then be used to decide which parts of the site to focus on in terms of optimisation.
Currently, there isn't an analysis tool to enable you to derive meaning from the gathered data. A solution must be developed yourself. Dumping the data into a generic off the shelf tool is probably about as good as it gets at the moment.
Lobster
The name "Lobster" is just a code-name. It's currently in development. Lobster is a browser based RTS-RPG, somewhat similar to Mount and Blade: Warband. It uses canvas and websockets with a python back end.
Zandrok
Zandrok is a MMO strategy game I developed with Laurence Hole. It shows off some really interesting UI concepts as well as having a rather complex back end.
I will write more about it when I get a chance
IntelliSearch
Based on the Dasher on-screen keyboard but aimed at allowing disabled users who can't type a way of searching the internet and navigating through pages. Uses Canvas.
I will write more about it when I get a chance
DjangoGo
This is a browser based Django IDE created using Django. More details can be found on the DjangGo website.
