Web Intents Design Push

After giving a talking at UXCamp Brighton about Web Intents, I ended up talking to a few designers about it and how they would love to help with its development and adoption. In fact we all felt that the design community was sometimes left out of the development process, when it has a lot to offer.

So, for the past couple of months I have been working with two of Brighton’s leading UX people Danny Hope and Andy Dennis to organise a UX design event. We are trying a slightly new format that we’ve coined a “design push”. The idea is to take a current technology or topic and focus a group of UX designers on a day of open collaboration with the aim of positively adding to its traction by the wider community.

Web Intents Design Push, 25 February 2012 – Brighton, UK

The first “design push” will be on Web Intents, an idea about how to standardise buttons such as Tweet, Like, Share, etc. on the web. My last few posts will give you some background. I have also created a brief screencast introduction to Web Intents.

I had some fun creating the screencast, I built a presentation using HTML for the first time. It’s worth a play as I built the demo’s of Web Intents directly into the presentation. Best use Chrome if you want to play with the demo’s.
