Once again loving Nathan Borror’s information design for the election results in Lawrence, KS. It gets a little bit better every time — and it was kick ass the first time. Visit site »
Nathan shows you how you can use a middleware to manage different templates between two versions of a Django site (such as a desktop and mobile version) without having to run a separate modpython/modwsgi configuration, thus saving you RAM. Nice. Visit site »
Nathan shows how simple it is to create a basic REST API for an existing Django app, as he has done for his great new site, Readernaut. Visit site »
Not a lot to see here yet, but the logo alone is worth a visit. Nathan’s new site is going to be sweet. Sign up for an invite. Visit site »
Kevin from howiworkdaily.com had my good friend and design hero Nathan Borror on the line for a 30 minute podcast. They two discuss Django, Basic Apps, playgroundblues.com, the iPhone, and more. It’s a really good listen.
I’ve said it before, but I’ll take the opportunity to say it again: Nathan Borror is absolutely the most underrated web professional on the Internet. He’s quite possibly the most talented person I’ve ever worked with. His attention to detail and breadth of knowledge across all aspects of web work is surpassed only by his sympathy for the user. I know just about every amazing designer in this industry, and Nathan would still be the first person I’d call if I were hiring.
And, he’s a great fucking guy, too.
(Nathan, you owe me dinner, or something.) Visit site »
Nathan talks about how he quickly and easily created an alternate mobile version of his Django-powered site. The ability to create an alternative version so easily (for mobile or any other reason) is a huge strength of Django that isn’t talked about enough.
While you’re there, check out Nathan’s primary navigation, which is almost certainly the most fun you can have on a web page that doesn’t end in .swf. Awesome. Visit site »
