Why did I start Take That Design?

It's my passion

I'm passionate about mobile web. I remember the very first day I got to know about HTML5 features (geolocation, localstorage, indexedDB, CSS3 animation, ...) I immediately dreamed about a world with only web-based applications which are capable of doing anything, accessible from everywhere, right in the palm of our hand. I still believe we'll get there very soon.

Hybrid app can be much more

I've received quite a few compliments that my themes look so professional, so different, so real. That made me feel motivated for the potential of hybrid apps. Hybrid apps can always have more beautiful look, with native feel and rich functionalities. Good news: any web developers with their existing skillset can do it.

Creating the templates that do the job

I've been working in startups, and I totally understand the moment we found ourselves repeatedly saying: "let's make this grid view looks like Pinterest”, or "make this list of posts looks like the news feed on Facebook”, or "make this search bar as simple as we see it on Google”, ... it's damn true that we don't have to reinvent the wheel (well, sometimes we do) but take the most out of the proven products in the market. That helps you save a lot of time and effort in development, educating users so that you can spend most of your time focusing on what you meant to do: creating new values with your product ideas.

Living in my own world

I'm just a normal frontend engineer with a full-time job and some free time. I believe that we should always have some isolated space for ourselves to explore our own world. A weekend project, a side project, or whatever you want to call it, is your playground to try new things, to learn some trendy technologies, to test your ideas. I love creating beautiful and efficient HTML layout, pushing the limit of the web applications. On a beautiful Sunday, I accidentally created Take That Design, and that's how we are here talking about it.
