Stripe's payment service is nice. We implemented it (instead of PayPal) to handle all e-commerce and checkout needs on nwica.org, including payments for memberships, event registrations, exhibitions, and promotional products. By default, Stripe transfers funds to a bank account automatically every day. Our client wanted a little bit more control over when those funds were […]
New Carbon Footprint Calculator for the Center for Climate and Energy Solutions (C2ES). This PHP-based tool, designed to let users calculate the carbon emission impact of their life and behaviors, utilizes a bunch of AJAX, some neat jQuery elements, and several other technologies to create a clean, user-friendly and personal experience. It was designed for […]
For a client's website form, I needed some javascript to count the number of characters entered on a particular form field. In addition, I wanted to alert the user about how many additional characters they could add before reaching the input's limit. I found a short snippet on JS fiddle and improved it for use […]

The new responsive version is improved in […]
After manually coding and managing "states" for two or three prototypes (e.g., public users vs logged-in users), I decided to heed DRY — don't repeat yourself. Introducing Permit.js. It's a jQuery plugin that makes building interactive, multi-state prototypes for websites and apps easy. I know I'm going to be using it on my own projects […]
I've posted a new case study about the work I did for the Center for Climate and Energy Solutions (C2ES) Make an Impact project. On behalf of one of their corporate clients, I designed and developed a pledge application/website. The site allowed their partners's employees to pledge to change a variety of actions to modify […]
With a little help of my (GitHub) friends, I've updated timeliner.js such that it now allows multiple timelines per page. Check out the demo.
