Jan 05 2011 Published by Tyron Bache under Inspiration, Web Development

Kyle Bragger is an awesome web development factory! He launched Facto.me a few days ago [January 1, 2011] and it is growing really fast. Basically Facto.me is a way to share interesting and little-known facts about yourself with friends.

Kyle is really inspiring and has the following title to a post on his tumblr:

From concept to launch in 24 hours and why there’s no reason you can’t do this too

A view into the Forrst

Jun 09 2010 Published by Tyron Bache under Social Media, Web Development

Right so how many of you have heard about Kyle Bragger‘s Forrst? Raise your hands please…

Okay, a few of you have, thanks you can lower you hands now.

Forrst is a place for designers and developers to share screenshots, links, code, and questions with their peers. I do however love the way that Carsonified have described it: Where Designers Who Code meet Developers Who Design.

Forrst is still in beta and is invite-only which when I first stumbled upon it made me a little curious, I applied and got accepted today, stoked, I think I am #2,483. If you have an account you can view my profile here.

My first impressions, I must say I am a little bias because I did get accepted… anyway I love the home page, it has been beautifully done and the moving clouds in the background are a lovely touch. When I first heard about it I thought it was just a Dribbble copy but I am still waiting for my Dribbble invite so that I can’t make an informed judgement on that… yet and I am not sure who cam first. Once logged in the UI is awesome, good to look at and pretty easy to use, they have made sharing effortless. One thing I can say is that Forrst accepts developers and not just designers which I am happy about being a developer. There is tons of content flying around in the forrst and I am keen to get stuck in and find some real gems which obviously I will share with you guys.
