27. sep 2013 FC Frederiksberg’s web site has got this new line-up, tactic, strategy application, that will help the team manager to put together a team out of a constantly changing group of players.

FC Frederiksberg is a small football club. It's members are amateurs, professional amateurs that is, and yet the group of players is shifting from one match to the other, since there – after all – are other ways to spend the free time than playing football(!). So even though we only can have seven players on the field at the time, it can often be a puzzle to make everyone fit into their favorite positions.

The Line-up app is a new developed web based application, that is connected with the web site and the database of the web site. The app gets data about matches, who is playing, and their normal roles on the field. The app gives a team line-up that is optimized from current group of players and serves thus as a good starting point for the game planning.
Bézier and quadratic curves.
The application is built in HTML5 and javascript.
This version runs on a Xierpa server which handles the data and the algorithms to position the players on the field.
It may run on other server setups as well. And the field can be for other sports.
Try-out version is available here

Apps for traffic information can be useful, but not all the way

I know it sounds a bit paradoxical. Usually I call to recognize randomness as a condition of life. But when it comes to traffic and road out in the public domain, I freak info. The more data available, the better, it's just like that. And when it comes to public transport ... How long time before the next train, do I sprint, wander, […]

Don’t buy a train ticket with this app

Unfinished, ill-considered apps or apps that serve the market better than the use off it. If Apple has a sometimes paranoid restrictive approach to the formalities regarding an app you want to get into the App Store, they may have a comparable little interest in that the app works well. Fortunately, one could say, that should be […]

I must admit, it’s (still) cool to have my icon right there on the iPad screen. As an app, yes, but a website can also do the trick. And website based app may sometimes even be a better solution than a native app.

The net is flooded with apps - for smartphones and tablets. But web sites are still better viewed on a computer, right? So the marketing department is happy and web design is business as usual. Maybe because apps and web sites are considered as two different things, rather than two versions of the same.
You may create coherence […]

More web sites for the danish authorities are using webfonts

5. DEC 2013 //
But far the most of them still don’t! Only 22 out of 122 web sites for the danish authorities. And the majority of those are prefering free fonts. On the other hand is the number more than doubled in a year, since November 2012 when the number was 9 out of 115.
The study is a snapshot that I took November 6, 2013 and covers the […]

If I buy something on, say, sales.com, the response mail should come from sales.com and all links within the mail should be to sales.com. Anything else looks as a phishing attempt, and it might as well be.

Usability and accessibility on the net becomes more and more equal to unlimited choices and professionalizing of the user, who thus will be the responsible to be able to get the information from the websites.

To the puritan any design that make any demands, will be noise. But you may as well take the opposite stand, that the purely textbased information is reserved for the skillede readers.
