Continued work on an upcoming internal project for nGen Works (internal as in we're building it for ourselves, not a client. Not internal as in it won't be public facing—it will be).
The app has payment functions, which I tested for a while by lowering the price to one penny and sending Carl's pocketbook a cent every time I tested it with one of my credit cards. That started to suck, so I had to build a "Fake it" function.
Also had fun with the fixed footer that has a transparent half-circle that the content pokes through when you scroll. Just a fun little useless detail.
Also, Dan: consider this a suggestion that you should use "fake" somewhere in your UI as part of the basketball metaphor. Pump fake. Head fake. You get the idea.
@Chris: It will be available to the public. I just meant "internal" as in," we're building it for ourselves, not for a client." That having been said, it might not be quite what you think it is. :)
Ah. Thanks for the clarification. And as far as what it looks like it might do... It looks like something that would handle the start of a project on through to its various milestones... It looks intriguing whatever it is.
@Jeff good work! But gather you posted it so that you can feedback on the design.
Just a few points;
1. Contrast in the footer - this might just be the size of the screenshot but the white on blue it hard to read. Maybe bump the text size up or add a text-shadow.
2. Buttons - the text shadow of white looks strange looks more like a glow on the text of the button, don't know if this was intentional or not.
3. Heading - This one is hard without seeing the rest of the design but I feel that the heading (next step) is too small visually. My attention is going to the source file soon as I read the next step. Soon as the font is condensed there would be room to make that larger?
1. You may be right, here. I'll play with it. :)
2. It is intentional, and I like it. :)
3. The "Next step" heading is on the right-hand sidebar of the site -- the heading for the main content is quite a bit bigger. I think it works when you see the whole thing, but I can totally see why you'd say that, just having seen this much. I'll definitely keep in mind the push and pull between the nav (Source Files) and the headers.

I'm pretty sure I'd pay to use a service like this. Are you guys sure you want to be selfish and keep it to yourselves? ;)

Ooh. I had a discussion with Carl about this. It looks awesome. Though now I am curious about the Fake It button.

@Jeff, yeah I thought a lot would be cleared up when the whole design is shown.
And no problem with the feedback, this is what Dribbble is/should be about.

You continue to amaze me by design like witchcroft. (Gosh that was lame I know)

You got it, Anderson. I stole those buttons from you and Onehub as my default, and haven't looked back. :)
