"You won't always have a calculator in your pocket"

I host my jekyll site in a s3 bucket, works pretty well, and I end up paying a few dollars a month for it.

Tether Strength for Mac: https://itunes.apple.com/app/tether-strength/id685197013

We created this app as we often tether our mobile connection, but there is no easy way to measure the impact of your current session, It’s especially important when you’ve got limited data usage from your carrier.

Tether Strength is an app that pops up in your system's menu bar when you are tethering your smartphone to your Mac. This handy app will tell you the strength of your iPhone’s or iPad’s connection to the cellular network, how long you have been tethering and how much you have downloaded.

If you want to read about the design process and some problems we encountered check out this blog post: http://danielwhyte.com/app/design/2013/10/19/designing-tethe...

We'd love to hear what you think and how we can improve the app :)

We had a good laugh when it went live like that, rest assured we've got some some updated screens that won't end up looking like extremely poorly drawn iPads.

I've been creating a couple of blogs over the last week using Jekyll, It's pretty easy and I was not aware there were so little. Might have to make some templates.

UX Designer here. In my first 4 or so years of web designing I found I did this often. Low contrast elements is they easy/lazy way out, you can clearly give things more importance just by giving the element greater contrast, but it's not good design. In my case it was learning this. Learning to feel comfortable with every single element I was putting on the page, learning how to balance correctly contrasted objects, giving elements the right sizing and ultimately having confidence as a designer.

I just had flashbacks of snow gif's on websites…
