Too many designers attempt to save their designs with fluff without understanding they are pouring gasoline onto the fire.
If a design is not enjoyable to read then it is not an enjoyable experience, no matter how many images, colors or sounds you decide to add to it.

The best Rails tutorial out there for MVP'ing an idea
I was thinking about MVP’ing an idea a few weeks back around languages and crowdsourced translation. The default way to do so (in my mind at the time) was via Launchrock. For some reason I had the thought of building it myself (as a learning project) and actually went so far as to google ‘launchrock signup rails’ and boom in flew this site!

This tutorial hits all the major points from authentication to setting up mailing lists via mailchimp to even explaining basic git commands and BDD for nubes and finally managing deployment to Heroku.
A grand thank you to Daniel Kehoe for putting it all together, check him out at: http://blog.railsapps.org/

One of the biggest challenges I’m…
