Just before christmas I started an opensource project called FreshPowder. I started it for quite a few reasons one of which was that the Perth Web Design industry really doesn’t have any opensource projects running. Since we were voted 5th best design firm in Australia we thought it would be worth while having a play with the opensource model.
Starting the project just before the christmas break has had it’s problems but I have managed to slowly pull a great little app together. It is not quite ready for release. You’ll have to wait about two weeks for that.
If your interested you can read a few of my ramblings about the project here.
A quick run down is FreshPowder is a blogging platform. Blogging is getting more and more complicated. We use wordpress to run this site and alot of our customers sites, but it has outgrown the humble blog. FreshPowder is back to basics, fun quick blogging which includes email-to-blog functionality. Which means that you can post from your phone or anything else with email capabilities. Exciting isn’t it!!
Anyway I thought I would post a teaser of the UI that I have been working on. It’s just a mockup but i’m interested in your comments, feedback and ideas.
There is still some refinement to be made to the mockup but you get the general idea. What are your thoughts?
