Hi All,
another job available in Simple Invoices
Job: Simplify the UI and also make it look nicer
Problem: the current Simple Invoices UI is as simple as i can make it but i believe Simple Invoices can still be alot simpler
Requirement: Simplicity and beauty. Post design mock ups / ideas etc of what can be done to make Simple Invoices simpler and/or more beautiful
Notes: I believe that by making the UI simpler it will make Simple Invoices a better looking application but i also welcome any suggestions on how to make Simple Invoices look nicer without any dramatic simplification
Why are we doing this? couple of reasons
1: the current UI is a total rip-off of 37signals.com's basecamp etc and i want to move away from that
2: we need to create our own 'visual identity' so Simple Invoices standout from the crowd as a unique application
3: re simplification: anything to help make Simple Invoices simpler will help the user in the end - i want Simple Invoices to be an application that actually helps people do invoicing better and simpler than anything else available
Note:
- if you look at the latest code in svn - we've changed the UI slightly - but more work is required
- if you can try and use System 7 on an old Mac - then you'll see the beauty in simplicity
Cheers
Justin

Hi All
for those interested in this you may also want to check out extjs's UI stuff

some really great stuff coming out of extjs - but not sure how or if their UI stuff fits with us - as even though their stuff is great - is it simple and easy to use??
Cheers
