Brian Lovin Next Versions Save

After a month and a half of hacking, I'm done with the fifth redesign of my personal website, now nicknamed briOS. With this release, the site should feel a lot more like an app, with list-detail style layouts, social sign-in, commenting, and a whole lot more.

See the code

Last stable release of v4 before the big v5 refactor.

I spent the last few weeks trying to simplify and abstract certain parts of my site. I now am dealing with dozens of pages, lots of content types, and different flavors of interactions (forms, lists, pagination, static pages, on-the-fly data, etc. etc.). This new version hopefully lands me in a more maintainable system, although there's always Work To Be Done!

v4 also swaps out the default typeface for my site, using iA Quattro, which is just beautiful. It seems to nicely strike the balance between a mono and a sans, making for readable body copy that also feels "computer-y."
