Squeezy: A Content Management System for small business
Building a new Content Management System is generally considered to be a reinvention of the wheel. However, existing offerings tend to be poorly designed, too bloated or too focused on textual content making it difficult to extend or connect to the various web services and social media that businesses want to integrate with.
We felt so strongly about solving these issues that we’ve been busy developing a CMS that allows for rapid development so that we can reduce development costs and delivery time for designers and agencies.
The name of this CMS is Squeezy - as in “easy-peasy” - and it’s proving to be pretty popular in a space largely dominated by Wordpress.
The theory behind what we want to achieve is pretty simple. By dropping the “Content” part of the system and leaving a “Management System” we can create a website that can handle any type of content required (i.e. Blog, News, Image etc). This offers fantastic flexibility because it is not necessary to mold a legacy CMS to do what it was not designed to do in the first place.

First look at Projie’s GTD inbox
There is still plenty to do on Projie before the initial feature set is complete, so I’d like to share a recent development relating to the task Inbox.
This is a real working example rather than just a design but it is still a little rough. The project grouping doesn’t really make the separation of tasks clear enough but it seems to be heading in the right direction.
It should be pretty familiar to anybody familiar with the GTD principal and I hope it is welcoming enough to those who aren’t.
I will keep writing about the build over the coming weeks. We should be able to open up a basic account in the next month or so.
Searching for better ways to build web platforms - HMVC and Cognition
We like to experiment and try new things in the hope that we find better ways to build for the Internet.
Recently we’ve been experimenting with HMVC and trying to unravel the frameworks we use to trying a get some flexibility back into our projects. We have discovered that we really need to peel back the layers of helpers and components and folder structures, and really think about what specific features of what frameworks we actually need.
Introducing: Projie, really simple project sharing
A few months ago I needed way to keep track of tasks and todo lists in projects and to be able to share the tasks with co workers. There are many existing apps online that would have satisfied this need, and a few that over the years have proved very useful.
