I was really happy when I came across this web app site. It’s different than the typical big screenshot with 3 featured content sections along the bottom formula sites. I really like the feel of this home page and the first screenshot with the arrow that tells you how to “start and stop a timer” is so simple and smart. The sign up page is really straight forward too and I like the option to log in with your gmail account as well, I don’t think i’ve seen something like that before either.

That’s a great write up Josh, really enjoyed looking into the process behind the redesign. Thanks for sharing.
