What is Codename Divingboard? (post)

created 2009-05-28 modified 2025-12-30

I speak mostly on this blog about Codename Divingboard, a project I've been working on for the last 4 or 5 months. It will eventually be a large suite of applications, following a very specific set of user interface guidelines. These applications are aimed to be used by users with touch-enabled computers or computing devices who would like a simple, easy-to-use and powerful application suite designed from the ground up to be used on touch-enabled devices. People with tablet computers, like myself, are tired of working with applications that are designed with the "keyboard and mouse" paradigm in mind. Instead, we'd like to use applications designed with touch in mind. Codename Divingboard will address these concerns, and be a one-stop suite of touch-enabled applications.

I expect the first release of the web browser within the next week or so. Binaries will be released on Mac OS X, Windows and Linux platforms. On all three platforms, you will need the Qt Framework in order to use the applications I will release. Artwork and other such designs will follow shortly.

Thanks for reading!
