Interface design evolution of TapTapTap’s Convert app for iPhone. Incredible the number of iterations that were tried before settling on a final approach. (via the app’s designer, Wolfgang Bartelme)
Timelapse CSS
When building website templates, I’m constantly switching between a view of my CSS code and a view of the page I’m working on in a browser. At my most fevered I’m switching from one to the other after every couple of amendments, to ensure my additional rules are having the intended effect. Over time, were I to record this incremental buildup, it would paint a reasonably good picture of my approach to converting a design comp to a CSS layout.
With this in mind, I thought it might be useful to try to capture the process automatically and then play it back. I’ve seen this done using a collection of manual screen captures, but that didn’t seem a particularly elegant or easily reproducible solution.
