Proposed Elite System Names on uwingu.com

Remember your travels as Commander Jameson? How awesome would it be to look over a real astronomical chart and pick out Diso, Lave, Leesti and other favourites? Uwingu is building a database of proposed names for exoplanets. If you can propose and up-vote Elite names, it just might actually happen.

To propose a name, first check it isn't already registered (if it is, vote for it). Then go to the nominate page and fill in the details. Payment is $5 to uwingu via Paypal. Include Elite in your description (I used "Diso was one of the Sector 1 planets in the classic space trading game Elite. It would be wonderful to immortalize this piece of gaming history, so that future Commander Jamesons can chart a path through familiar territory.")

Lave (planet details). Proposed by U

Here vs. There: Hoarding the Web

The Problem

Web phone, web-based, built on web tech, the cloud - all tweak a little niggling truth we all know: The web doesnt work offline. When we have no connection it may as well not exist.

And despite proliferation of wifi and 3/4g, a connected mobile device is limited at least some of the time. Perhaps most of the time.

Inputs

Keyboard
Touch (capacitive touch, alternatives?)
Voice (offline, online)
OCR
Image Analysis (e.g. Kinnect, face recognition)
Sensor input (buttons, motion, temperature, light etc)
RFID/NFC <-- needs investigation & prototyping
Feeds & Events (e.g. news feeds, weather APIs etc)

Many of the new UI animations added in 57 used a "film strip" technique to get pre-rendered, 60fps animation that could run entirely on the compositor and off the main thread. These SVG files were typically a horizontal strip of frames, each frame offset on the x-axis by frame index * frame width. To play the animation, the CSS transform property is updated to translateX to a value that places the current frame at 0,0 in a cropped element. This technique is explained and illustrated here: http://msuja.ws/svg.html

There are many ways to create and optimize the output assets for these animations. The toolchain we used was a mix of existing tools and custom scripts and processes:

Asset preparation process

Adobe After Effects + BodyMovin
- The framing and motion design was doine in After Effects, and exported using the BodyMovin plugin to a SVG-as-json format.
This page imports this json data, creates a SVG document and plays the animation in order to gen
