Is it going to rain today? Who cares what the temperature is – I just don’t want to get rained on! Today we’re proud to announce Parapluie ou pas? a fun new site for France that lets you enter your post code and discover if you need your umbrella or not – super simple!

We are quietly proud to mention as an aside to normal news the appearance of a new UI in the Shopify product management admin that emerged merely 2 weeks after we showed their lead developer a new inventory management we had built for our long standing client Evisu. Their lead developer came back mentioning how much he liked the UI.

We’re very happy to have been inspiration for Shopify!

UPDATE:

Tobias Lütke directly acknowledged his inspiration for the shopify products listing as coming from our inventory UI in an email to Evisu. What a nice young man.

The Paris local municipality has recently covered the city in free WiFi hotspots (~250) – and whilst the official site does give you a map it wasn’t up to scratch for me so I just whipped up a google maps mashup bringing the locations together all on one map.

If you live in Paris or you’re coming to visit I hope this will be helpful.

For the past 8 months we have been working on a major project called Mintd.
Mintd is a global collaborative space for artists, designers and musicians to sell their work and connect to new markets. We think it fills a space in online indie retails that until now was left wide open. There is very little in the way of community based market places for up-and-coming creative designers. Until now… check it out!
