Evolution of Scrubber

1. Metallic spiral scrubber is introduced for toughened stains on vessels but not suitable for non stick.

2. Sponge scrubber is for steel vessels that leaves no scratch marks on the utensils but easily torns out after several use which requires a replacement.

3. It's good when compared to both however it's expensive.  

Any idea what is last one? It's a coconut  husk we threw away on a regular basis. 

Way back 15 years, we used it instead of a scrubber to remove tough to simple stains for all type of vessels which is absolutely natural & biodegradable at free of cost.   

We might not thought of, this would change part of our lifestyle however, we look for emerging brands on the market to meet our basic needs. Think about it.  

Snacks Pack UX

Both are snacks cover but which one is having good UX ?

Here comes two perspective of users.

Buyer

First wrapper has incurve to open up however it missed to preserve freshness for later use.

Second wrapper has zip top within itself to consume later with the same freshness & an seamless tearing mark on both the sides.

Seller

First wrapper takes more space to pile-up the pack at stores.

Second wrapper has a hook to display it vertically.  It helps the user to view all the items on the go which reduce buyers time to make a choice.

FlexDeveloper to HTML Developer -FlexJS

Apache FlexJS is a next-generation Flex SDK that enables developers to use
MXML and ActionScript to not only create SWFs but also cross-compile the
same MXML and ActionScript to HTML/JS/CSS so applications can run natively
in browsers. The cross-compiled code can also be used in Apache Cordova
(Adobe PhoneGap) mobile applications.

Apache Flex FalconJX is a next-generation MXML and ActionScript
cross-compiler. It extends the next-generation SWF compiler known as
Falcon. Both are contained in the release package and are used by the
FlexJS package to compile SWFs or cross-compile to HTML/JS/CSS.

Choose Right visual

Some reference which I have seen from web

Choose the right visual for your purpose.

• Line Charts track changes or trends over time and show the relationship between two or more variables.
• Bar Charts are used to compare quantities of different categories.
• Scatter Plots show joint variation of two data items.
• Bubble Chart show joint variation of three data items.
• Pie Charts are used to compare parts of a whole and should be used carefully. Never compare two pie charts without clearly noting that the size of the pie may have changed as well.
