Niceworkian Makes a Gautrain App!
Posted by
Every year An Event Apart and Mix Online collaborate for a web application competition, 10K Apart. Some rules include: the app must be no bigger than 10K (to give you an idea of how small that is, the image below is about 60K) and the application must me responsive.
This year I decided to submit an app to the competition. Since I have recently started using the Gautrain to commute to work I decided to write an app to work out how much money I will save commuting by train rather than by car. Because of the size limit I couldn’t use any images so the whole app is just code (HTML, CSS and Javascript).
Check out the Gautrain Fare Calculator!
Browse through some of the other apps here. There are some truly inspiring submissions this year!

Perch: A really little CMS
Posted by
Perch is a really little content management system (CMS) that is perfect for a small website. It is lightweight and easy for a developer to set up. At the very least it gives a client enough control to fix a typo or change their phone number.
It is sometimes difficult to justify adding a CMS to small websites. CMS’s take a fair amount of time to set up and tend to be heavy duty. They are better suited to websites that either have a lot of content or are going to be updated regularly. If your needs are small, developers will often try to lump you with a static HTML site. This is fine until you change your phone number and it takes them 3 months to update it. Fortunately, there are lightweight alternatives.
