Swell Premium Theme

The latest Style Hatch project that is about to go live. Personally I'm a fan of the simple grid, but where the design really comes to life is in the build.

There are lots of hover states, animated UI elements, and best of all all the posts open up lightbox style (see the attachment Swell-02.png) so that the browser never has to refresh—so that you can keep on scrolling and loading forever. I even went all out and tied in AJAX driven deep linking so that the browser can keep track history (back/forward buttons) and gives you /#!/post-type URLs for every view.

The demo site is being wrapped up now and should go live tomorrow.
