Every personal site eventually gets a first post, and this is mine.
I built this to look like the Settings app from iOS 6: grouped tables, pinstripe background, lavender highlights, and that blue flash when you tap a row. No framework, no build step, just a few HTML files and one stylesheet.
Why skeuomorphic?Partly nostalgia. Partly because the old design language was really good at telling you what was tappable. A chevron meant "this goes somewhere," and that was enough.
How it worksEach page is a list of
.grouptables. Rows are links or plain.cellelements, and section titles sit above them in that familiar slate grey.More notes coming soon.
