A nice visual grid editor Blueprint CSS's framework
Direct

Boks is an AIR application (so it works on Windows, Mac and Linux) that provides a User Interface for Blueprint CSS's framework. It's been designed for those who think the Grid System is good but never really took the time to give it love.

It handles grid configuration, baseline rhythm pimpin', CSS (with or without compression) and grid.png export, HTML layout and much more goodie-goodie!

Smart Look kills the document download (But Very Gently)

Smart Look

The days of downloading documents are over!
Smart Look by Issuu, automatically replaces all the documents on your website with beautiful online publications!

I'm using Issuu.com almost the last 2 years and I found it very usefull, specially for demostration of my magazines.

It takes just a few minutes to set up, it's completely harmless and makes your documents looks great.

Let's see how it works:
1. Create an account at Issuu.com
2. Enter your domain here. This will enable Smart Look for all documents in your site.
3. get the code
4. Paste the code that generated into your html pages, just above the last /body tag.
Save your pages, and it's done!

Next time someone clicks a link to download a document, Issuu.com will import a copy to your Issuu account. The second time the link is clicked, it will open an online Issuu publication directly on your webpage
[so the first click has to be by you ;-)

Your website's visitors can still download if they want, and you don't have to change a thing in your workflow. No need to upload and embed all those documents if they're already online.

You can only use Smart Look with one domain per Issuu account, so I'm waiting to see more options for the Pro accounts ;-)

Nice app, really!
