I’m delighted to announce today that my latest web project has gone live, and that it is Obraichean Gàidhlig – a website designed to help employers and jobseekers in the Gaelic community find each other. It’s a site that was borne out of a post-graduation sense of frustration that finding jobs related to Gaelic was a difficult task and there was no real way of keeping on top of it.  You could subscribe to alerts on different job feeds, but the results were very mixed — Read more →

Changing the way in which we use social networks can often be a very tricky task for the developers behind them.  People aren’t massive fans of changes, especially to things that become staples within their day-to-day lives. It’s likely this is the reason why it took so long before Facebook rolled out its new Reactions, which today has added new dimensions to the classic Like button and potentially change the service in a massive way. On the surface it’s been an idea that’s been around — Read more →
