Each of them does something pretty well or is a nice idea. Combined it could be awesome :)

• Great UX
• Nice filters
• Easy sharing
• Animated, not just plain pictures 
• gimme some sound, too
• and spinning would be fun, too 

In the end, let me share stories based on animated quality pictures. And please forget plain photosharing.

Navigation patterns for responsive web design by @brad_frost

- Top Nav or “Do Nothing” Approach

- The Footer Anchor

- The Select Menu

- The Left Nav Flyout

- The Footer Only

- The “Hide and Cry”

Leider wird die Wichtigkeit davon im Alltag unterschätzt (meist von Leuten die nichts davon wissen), oder der “Kampf” ständig zu Erklären das Design bei weitem mehr ist als nur etwas “hübsch” machen mit Verdruss aufgegeben.

Am Ende verlieren dabei die User…

Nothing new, but the “G+” part made me smile..

For each and every Rails app, I always needed some kind of app configuration file. Something simple, at best as a YML-file. With some research on google and stackoverflow I ended up with the following solution. It’s neither new nor groundbreaking and probably someone else has already done it that way. 

This solution allows to:

• Have a “default” configuration
• For every environment changing some attributes 
• No need to copy all attributes for every environment 
• It allows nested attributes for easier access and better readability. (eg. homepage>head)
• It’s hashed
• You can access the AppConfig from everywhere in your rails app by using “AppConfig[:homepage][:head]”

(Tested with Rails 3.2.1)

New file at ‘config/app_config.yml’:

defaults:
  homepage:
    head: peterkling
    subline: "webdesign: analyse | konzeption | gestaltung | umsetzung"
development:
  homepage:
    head: "peterkling [DEV]"
test:
production:

New file at ‘lib/appconfig.rb’:

config = ActiveSupport::HashWithIndifferentAccess.new(YAML.load_file("#{Rails.root.to_s}/config/app_config.yml"))

if !config[Rails.env].nil?
  AppConfig = config[:defaults].deep_merge(config[Rails.env])
else
  AppConfig = config[:defaults]
end

Add to environment.rb

load 'lib/appconfig.rb'

Access AppConfig eq. in views:

 <h1><%= AppConfig[:homepage][:head]%></h1>
 <h2><%= AppConfig[: homepage][:subline]%></h2>
