I’ve been using Less theme made by Jared Erickson since the first time i launch my blog in early 2013. I found Less as a simple minimal WordPress theme built with only what is needed and met with my requirement for my personal blog.

Less is a super minimal theme, both front end and back end. adding no bloat whatesover. it only uses the minimum requirements that WordPress has, a style sheet, screenshot and the index page.

Features

• single column layout
• large text (since we all know our mom’s are the only ones reading this)
• Images are full width.. always, so don’t try getting them to float.. and don’t try to upload itty bitty ones.
• pulls in the sites admin gravatar picture in the header
• no widget
• one custom menu in the header
• great for LoLcats
• Mobile ready
• Fast

Jared Erickson did use LESS (http://lesscss.org/) for all the styles, if you know how to use it you will be able to change a few viarables to customize the site with no problem!

So then i modified less of it to make it fit my own needs and asked him on twitter for guidance in modifying some code. I then added Infinite scroll functions fromJetpack which Less originally don’t support.

Modified Features

• added Jetpack infinite scroll support
• changed fullwidth image to normal
• changed font-family to “Helvetica Neue”, Helvetica, sans-serif
• rest are all the same.

So if you wanna give it a try and install it on your WordPress, you can visit his website to learn more. You also can fork it on GitHub and modify it to meet your requirement like i’ve done. Or you can simply use mine which you can find it on my GitHub repositiory here.

Track+ is a brand new tracking app for the iPhone that has a beautiful minimalistic interface which is highly customized with colors you like to separate each purpose. When you first open the app you’re shown the New Card button and an example card. Which will teach you how to use the app.

The ability to customize each card color and title makes us have the ability to customize what being recorded, such as income, expenses, your weight, hours at work, your car’s mileage, electric bill each months, Tax every year, and many others as you like. The idea is to put and track all those numbers. This app also has the availability to show the date when those numbers being recorded.

The app is very simple. Tap New card to record new numbers, Add title, Put some color to the card as you like (based on urgency, or anything you like), choose record type (discrete, total, daily, weekly, monthly, and yearly). Once you’re done add a new card, you can now add numbers you wanna track or edit the card settings. There are a bunch of different colors available in the app so you can change the colour of the card background.

As a working person and easily forgot about numbers i’ve spent, i do really need this app to record those numbers i’ve spent. For me, this app is simple and more than to record numbers but also useful to help me manage them.

CloudApp is a simple, integrated, accessible, reliable, extensible Mac OSX app to share files fast. CloudApp allows you to share images, links, music,videos and files. Here is how it works: choose a file, drag it to the menubar and let it take care of the rest.

I’m enjoying using CloudApp on my laptop to design mobile app and web user interface and open the third party app on my Android/iPhone to see how my design works on different screen sizes.

Then I’ve come up with idea of bringing CloudApp to Android which there’s lack of good CloudApp third party app. I love Android for it’s openness. If i have to compare which one is best between Android and iOS, i would say Android. But, as i said before, there’s lack of good CloudApp third party app, where we can see in general that there is still not so many well designed app for Android. Unlike iOS that have so many well designed Apps. But iOS also have some limitation for file sharing. They limited file sharing to only images to be shared. Pretty much unlike Android.

So i ask my friend, @xqdzn, to learn the Raindrop API provided by CloudApp developers for other developers that willing to code a third party app. As he agreed, we’ve been working on the code and the design.

We’ve come up with many ideas about the name. We once named it Cloudope then CloudUpp, a pun for “CloudApp” and “Up” which we refer to “Upload”. But xqdzn then come up with an idea of Floccus. The name cirrus floccus is derived from Latin, meaning “a lock of wool”. I like his idea. So we decide to use it for our app name.

Floccus is till in progress where we still working on the code and designs to give best experience for users. But we already make it working as we wanted to. We just need more tie to tidy it up a little bit.

Astrilla Dwiogisabtiana & Restika Febriana was in need of a website to showcase her extensive portfolio of fashion design in Hive, their fashion company. The site is fully responsive, scaling from monitor to ipad and mobile. The overall design places an emphasis on minimalism to allow the images to be the focus. Colour is used sparingly to avoid it clashing with the photography. The finished product is modern, simple and elegant, meeting the client’s needs.
