Built for the iPad
Since the iPad came out I've really enjoyed how much more engaging content could be compared to clicking and scrolling on a computer. Everytime I design something new I pull it up on the iPad and for some reason it just looks better. There's something magical about holding your work in your hands instead of staring at it a few feet away.
I also remember seeing the first iPad magazine apps and thinking to myself, "Why does this have to be an app? Can't it just be a website?" Turns out it can be a website (kind of) but it was not easy. In June of 2011 I started working on the first version of this site in my free time. I had the code up and running just in time for iOS 5 to come out and break it completely. A little defeated, I gave up on it for a while. After a few months I decided to start over and finally managed to get it running. Its not perfect, and the iPad definitely has some trouble loading so much content at once, but I'm really happy with how it turned out. If you aren't currently on an iPad, you should definitely check out the site on one when you have the chance.
