Today the project I’ve been working on as designer for the past few months has launched. So what is thoof? I’ll let this post from Ian Clarke the founder explain it:
“Personalized user generated news that you can edit. Ever wished that Digg could figure out what you were interested in, and adapt automatically to your tastes? Ever wish that you could edit a story on Digg to make it more accurate? Ever wished Digg had proper tagging? Thoof, a new website from the founders of Freenet and Revver, could be the answer to those wishes”
Thoof can be found at thoof.com. I’m really pleased I was taken on as contract designer over there and it’s been a great project to be part of. It’s an interesting idea of combining many different features into one application. Check it out and I’ll see you around there posting stories and editing them. It’s very rare I comment about websites I’ve worked on over here but this project really has grabbed me as something special and thought it was worth sharing.
Hey, really impressive – love the features. Nicely put together, too!
Can I ask what applications you used, how you built this?
Thanks a lot, the developers did the hard work and they use wicket as a framework. Seems really fast from what I’ve seen compared to RoR. They really deserve the main credit – I just poked the pixels and UI.
