Apple Watch stand reminders for your desktop.

Stand is a little Mac app I designed and built with Red (http://twitter.com/reddavis) to send you a notification at a set time every hour to remind you to stand up. This app mostly exists because at 50 minutes past the hour I see my Watch reminder to stand up, forget about it, and next thing I know it's past the hour and I didn't get that bar ;) Those Activity rings rule my life, this little Mac app helps me out. We're distributing this app through our website http://getstandapp.com where you can pay what you want for it (including $0!) through Stripe. Hope it's useful to some of you!

Prototype of the last CodyHouse resource. We've been playing around the idea of replacing the refresh of the page with an animation, while the new content is loaded using Ajax. Live demo: http://codyhouse.co/demo/animated-page-transition/index.html

Dropbox Comments http://mitchmckenna.com/post/15466/dropbox-comments

I like the fixed user icon as you scroll and the ability to expand comments.

Redacted Mac Icon http://mitchmckenna.com/post/15439/redacted-mac-icon

Neat app, I like how easy it is.

I've been working on this little app for a few weeks. It's called Redacted. It lets you easily obscure part of an image really, really quickly. Here's a little video demo: https://vimeo.com/126281352 I tried a few things, but finally landed on this abstract one. I've attached the full size version of this one and my favorite rejected one. Redacted will be in the Mac App Store soon! Thanks to @[121125:Jeremy Goldberg ] for suggesting the abstract direction!

Soundcloud Mac App Concept http://mitchmckenna.com/post/15242/a-start
A super early concept of a mini SoundCloud application. I saw the likes of StreamCloud and wanted to have a crack at one myself. At the moment, it's largely repurposing elements from SoundCloud's website but I'd eventually like to make it a little more unique. I'd like to make the list of tracks have a little more white space, incorporate a slightly different time elapsed design for the currently playing track, and fix the icons since I just dropped in some Glyphish icons to get an idea. It's a start though...

I had been looking for a soundcloud for mac app just a couple weeks ago, giving Streamcloud a try now so thanks for mentioning it!

Kudos http://mitchmckenna.com/post/15103/kudos

Neat, I like this, Dropbox should open source it.

Kudos is a little internal social network thing I worked on during my internship at Dropbox. It was an idea baked by Soleio, engineered by Missy, and designed (and pumped full of animations) by myself. There’s so much that goes on at Dropbox that people aren’t formally acknowledged for, and Kudos gives people a way to thank those folks for their hard work, thoughtful gestures, and general wonderfulness. Check out the attachments for some of the animations in their full glory!

Zipery - Case Study http://mitchmckenna.com/post/15058/sliding-menu-nav-animation-gif

Think it's neat when design company's show off their Case Study's like this.

When working on design projects we're not developing we'll supply detailed documentation for the developers covering the various interactions and animations along with creating them in CSS as a reference. You can have a play with the menu here: http://simpleasmilk.com/case-studies/zipery/#animations

Apple Watch Apps Concept GUI http://mitchmckenna.com/post/14838/apple-watch-apps-concept-gui
We were fascinated by the Apple Watch since they were announced. The question is: how current apps will be able to adapt to their experience. We took this question seriously and try to find experience which users can get. We spend a lot of time thinking about adopting our favorite apps to Apple Watch. We are curious what you think about these apps and maybe you can take our progress further. Let's grab our PSDs and show us your ideas. We are eager to see your stuff created with our files!
