Projects
R&D is as important for the web as it is for other tech-based industries.
At Left Logic we are constantly engaged in experimentation, pushing the code to improve stability and efficiency, as well creating completely new possibilities. Everything we learn is passed on to other developers in lectures and workshops around the world.
Förbind
forbind.net
Förbind is a Web Sockets service, and though a simple addition of JavaScript, allows your application to communicate in real-time. Your app may be a game like Chess, or a chat room, or a collaborative application - förbind gives you a way to connect your users and control the message flow.
You set up an application, and users connect to sessions. Within the session a user can send a message, and förbind will distribute it to the other users in the session.
Snap Bird
snapbird.org
Snap Bird is a search engine for Twitter and helps you find your tweets again.
It uses the Twitter JavaScript API to search beyond Twitter's 10 day search limit, to allow you look through someone's timeline, their favourites, your friend's tweets, mentions and even DMs.
JS Bin
jsbin.com
JS Bin is a form of paste bin, but with a twist. It allows you to also include the HTML and CSS to provide context to your pasty. As such, it means you can actually run the JavaScript and pass this on to a colleague to help to debug.
What's particularly special about JS Bin, is that once you share the url, anyone can make further changes and keep saving new revisions.
