Pattern Tap Tap Tapping
About a month ago I was introduced to Matthew Smith at Squared Eye. He and I are currently engaged in a project called Pattern Tap. Pattern Tap will be a site for organizing and filing design inspiration. A design gallery for the web that is not based upon whole sites, but upon the component parts that make them up.
The rationale behind the site is that as developers and designers we often want to look, not just at beautiful sites, but browse beautiful UI components that make up a site. For example, I might have a wondering about how I should format a list, a table, the navigation, etc.. and want to see how other people have handled those specific design patterns. Enter Pattern Tap, a place where you can get into the nitty-gritty of design.
Matt and I have started, and the development is well under way. I will try to post regular updates as things unfold. You can also stay updated on the progress of Pattern Tap by entering your email on our sign up page, following the Twitter feed or tuning into our Friday updates.
For the Developers: I am implementing Pattern Tap on top of the Code Igniter PHP framework. Out of the different PHP frameworks out there, this one came recommended as a good blend (kind of a mid-weight system). For a JavaScript library I am using jQuery. Of course the implementation will be XHTML validated code.
