We did it again

March 6th, 2009, View Comments

Last week Sergio and I released the second version of Poorra.com, our very private web app for football betting that started just before the last Euro.

This time it has a Champions League flavour, thus the name: Champions Poorra. The release on the last minute rule and please do not test at all thing has not changed though.

As you can (hardly) see below, it also has a nice and long horizontal scrolling, which I first pictured myself when thinking of how the home/away playoffs would change the application’s layout and then couldn’t help but build. Because the thing is private, the Usability Police cannot chase me and I get away with murder. I just love it, I must admit.

Sorry to everyone who reads this and cannot participate… I will keep you posted on who gets the 1000 euros. And so will our twitter account.

Rumors are we might be launching a F1 version soon… who knows.

I miss the favorite this! button

Where is the “favorite this!” button?

Some products, like Flickr, succeed in introducing these simple, yet attractive features that one inmediately starts to miss when using other interfaces.

I keep clicking the top bar of every desktop application’s window to scroll to top.
Trust me, it doesn’t work. Yet.

Scrolling Now Allowed

In more recent studies, we have seen that most users scroll when they visit a long home page or a long navigation screen.

Si algún lector sabe por qué algunos editores (como Universal) no quiere que promocionemos sus productos poniendo videoclips por ahí, rogaría que lo explicase en los comentarios.

Planeta denegrez, segunda parte

Este finde le pegué un lavado de cara al planeta que me hice en agosto y ha quedado precioso, cheiquirau: Planeta denegrez.

Si alguien quiere cotillear la hoja de estilos, aquí está.

Tan Windows

Me parece que estoy usando Windows Mobile cada vez que me sale este aviso:

He llegado a la conclusión de que la diferencia básica entre Windows y Mac OS es que éste tiene menos cosas que me molestan.

Si en una interfaz ofrecemos una acción que, al ser realizada, resulta en una calle sin salida que el usuario sólo puede aceptar cabizbajo, es que hemos hecho algo mal. Piensa en dar una alternativa más satisfactoria, qué sé yo: “para abrir más páginas, se cerrará wadus.com, que abriste hace 4 días”.
