A few days back a very simple idea struck me right before going to bed. The more I thought about it, the less I could sleep. The day after this short night I fired up Photoshop and started writing a little bit of JavaScript. All this led to Fluid Corners. The idea is pretty simple but […]
A few months back I discovered the concept of CSS pre-processors. At that time I knew about LESS and Sass and had to decide which one was the best option for me. I thought the concept was really cool but lacked a real project to start getting my hands dirty with it. Then I started […]
Remember Kwot, my Flash quote viewer? I published it back in December 2008. It is a mix of Flash (most part of it), JS (for the add form and its communication with the main UI) and PHP (CRUD logic). Read the blog post for more details on it. I recently started looking at JavaScript frameworks […]
I recently wrote a pretty big tutorial about Adobe AIR, its captive runtime mode, and how to generate a Windows installer on top of that. It was written in French and published on flex-tutorial.fr. I then contacted the fine folks at Adobe Developer Connection and offered to translate it to English. They accepted, reviewed it, […]
Back in 2008 I would spend some of my Saturday afternoons sitting in a Laundromat, waiting for my clothes to smell good. I quickly realized these moments were perfect to bring my laptop with me and code. One of the first AIR apps I wrote was Shrink O’Matic, now you know where the name comes from. It quickly became […]
“W-Architectures is an architecture and urban-planning agency. The firm brings together a highly-qualified team of architects with international experience.” This is how they introduce themselves and I couldn’t have said it better myself. I recently published their brand new website, designed by Christelle Bonnet and developed by me. It’s been a pretty long process (they […]
I’ve been working on an app for a French sport hospital, designed to browse its msk image library. It’s called “MSK view” and it is available for free in iTunes (iPhone and iPad version) and in the Android Market. Pretty technical stuff in it, not sure everyone will want to install it but hey, there may be […]
Boks is one of my most successful apps and this is probably not only because of its usefulness, but also because it is free, too. I released it more than 2 years ago and it is still heavily downloaded. The CSS community is really active and fast-moving. When I wrote Boks, Blueprint CSS was one […]
Remember Evnt, the quick and simple UI to generate AS3 Event subclasses? Well, it’s still here but I don’t use it much anymore, since I’m a big fan of Robert Penner‘s Signals! So I wrote Signl. It’s basically the same thing, but for Signals. I know writing Signal classes is an easy task; but, why […]
Hey, fellow english-reading visitor, this post is going to be in French! Hope you don’t mind. Si comme moi vous ne pouvez pas vous empêcher de dire “flim”, “ouiche” ou encore “un pour l’argent, deux pour le spectacle et trois pour le caillou”, cette application est pour vous. Après une semaine de vacances avec une […]
When writing in French I’m always looking for characters that can’t be easily typed with a keyboard (like œ, for example). I used to go to copypastecharacter.com for its simplicity: just go to that page, click on a character and boom, it’s in your clipboard, ready to be pasted! But I wanted something more powerful/thorough that […]
Remember Shrink O’Matic, the “oh, so easy to use” image shrinker for Windows, Mac and Linux? Introducing Shrink O’Mobile, the “oh, so easy to use” image shrinker for Android! Because cameras on phones take big pictures and because you might want to send smaller/lighter versions, Shrink O’Mobile is here to help out. Just launch the app, […]
I just launched a Tumblr about the font creation process I recently started. Should be interesting to anyone loving fonts as I will study some of their aspects and be as visual as I can. Should be. Here it is, folks: Type Tip. Learn more on the About page.
My “anniversary” intro It’s been five years (this monday) since Google added the ability to simply chat inside Gmail and to store your chat history, just like your regular e-mail discussions. This poster is a celebration of that, plus a big high-five to my “chat pal” (who hopefully received my package on time), plus a technical […]
Some projects become real, others never see the light of day. This one is more of an abortion. Six month ago I’ve been contacted by an architectural firm to provide some consulting on a project of theirs (I’m not going to name names, you’ll understand why). The goal was to find ideas to make a […]
[iframe src=”http://toki-woki.net/p/golden-ratio/”] I wrote a quick and simple golden ratio tool (dedicated page). Basically it helps you find “golden ratio neighbors” for a given number: every number in the list divided/multiplied by its neighbor = φ. Pretty straightforward but could come in handy. I’m aware it could be improved; if you have suggestions…
When I moved in I bought an IKEA Ramvik table and while travelling this summer I had an idea (don’t ask why): decorate its top with Lego bricks used as pixels. Here are the steps I went through. If you don’t care about those steps and want to see a nice time-lapse video, scroll to […]
While redesigning this blog I wanted to keep the “one color per post” concept I had in the previous version by changing (tweening) the logo’s color accordingly to the article being viewed (or scrolled to). I rapidly realized I couldn’t achieve this with just HTML+CS+JS and I didn’t want to use Flash (mainly because of […]
Guess what? AIR app! This one’s for eduMedia. An intro We create and distribute pedagogical simulations and videos, and our school users can download them to prepare and illustrate their lessons. Until now we offered server-side generated ZIP files with an HTML, some CSS and the SWF, but users (who often are not computer geeks) wanted […]
I recently started working with Robotlegs on a daily basis and I’ve never had to write that much custom event classes, so I felt like it was starting to be a little bit boring… That’s why I wrote a pretty basic/simple app that does hard part for you! Simply enter you custom event’s class name […]
