Announcing Pattern Tap. (The reason I've been so busy)
Hey Textpattern folks,
I hope everyone is having a jolly good time designing and developing!
I know at Squared Eye, times have never been so busy, or so exciting.
I’ve been a busy bee working up some seriously exciting stuff for
designers. Many of you may have been following my flickr interface collection.
Flickr is a great tool, but its lack of focus on interface led me to work some
design kung fu of my own.
It’s called Pattern Tap
It will be the best place on the web to explore the best design patterns and
solutions around. You’ll be able to follow specific types of patterns or make
a set of your own favorite design solutions from “the tap”.
Its under development, but we’re too excited to keep this thing under wraps. Come watch
it be developed and be there when the curtains open!
You can also follow Pattern Tap on Twitter.com/patterntap

Matthew – I’m excited to see where this goes! My only concern is that the signup page/homepage is a little confusing. If I sent a link out to others, they might be confused on what the site really offers…just my thoughts.
after looking at the site i still don’t really know what its for. is it just going to be similar to sites like designsnips.com or something?

Hmm. Looks like people are curious enough for a little screenshot action! I’ll make sure to wet you’re appetite :)

Steve, you’ll now see a few teasers to keep you interested. Thanks for the feedback!

Aside from the fact the site looks very cool, I still don’t get it… I must be thick or something!
Perhaps it’s like those random dot stereograms that I struggle to see; maybe this site and its concept is so off-the-chart stylish that only those people who have a good eye for layout can ‘see’ it :-)
I guess it’ll all become clear when the site is launched. In the meantime, can I just say I love the effect of those scattered screenshots down the sides and the drop shadows. Yum.
[EDIT: btw, if it helps explain my obvious lack of street cred, I also don’t ‘get’ iconbuffet]

i’m having some problems understanding where you’re headed with this as well. how does this differ from i.e. designsnips.com?

Looks good, but what is it? I know that it isn’t potato nor tomato :P

Bloke, I’m glad you’re intrigued! That’s enough for now : ))).
Sven, Lets just say that while Design Snips is great!, it’s just not the repository of design patterns through which you can wade, collect, share, and comment. Pattern Tap will take you for a design solution dunk in the ocean. You’re gonna love it. Sign up for updates and you’ll see a Friday screenshot and a little explanatino each week!

I should just point out to everyone that Matthew is nothing if not a big tease so you are just going to have to wait until tomorrow. ;)
Fun isn’t it?
