Announcing Cheddar
Posted on April 18, 2012
Cheddar is an app I started working on November of last year. From the start, it was a really exciting project, but I never had much time to devote to it. Now that I don't have a job, I've been focusing on it full time.
Cheddar will be the first Nothing Magical product that I launch. I'm massively excited to release it so you can see what I've been up to. It should come out in a couple of weeks. I have a lot of other ideas that I can't wait to work on, but more on that later.
Check out Cheddar. I made a little video to tell you about Cheddar. Head on over and watch it.
Here are some screenshots. I wrote the music in the video by the way.
Update 06/22/2013: I no longer own Cheddar. More info.
Don’t Forget the Little Things

Tonight I spent an hour on a simple animation. Instead of the UI element simply appearing, it now fades in and fades out. To get this right takes time. You wouldn't believe how much nicer it feels with the simple animation. It feels polished and complete instead of jarring and hacked together.
It's funny how a 0.2 second animation can make something feel a million times nicer
The fade in takes 0.3 seconds, moves the element 100 pixels, and scales from 80% to 100%. The fade out takes 0.25 seconds, moves the 45 pixels, and scales from 100% to 90%. (All of these values are relative to the element's size.) The point being, getting all of this right took awhile. It's a lot of trail and error to get it right. When you get it, it will just feel right.
