Nifty Digits

A picture of my lovely face

Nifty Digits is the portfolio of Web Developer Ian Wootten from Cardiff, UK.

As a backend developer, I'm skilled in a variety of languages and count myself as a well seasoned front-end developer too.

Here you'll find a collection of my work, projects and hacks old and new. Enjoy!

Skills

Work

Nagra Media

Nagra Logo

I built and supported iOS applications for both iPhone and iPad which deliver content as part of Nagra's multiscreen suite of applications.

Aardman

A Picture of the Pirate Captain

I created most of the production management tools at Aardman for the feature film "The Pirates! In an Adventure with Scientists". This included libraries for tracking, scheduling and reporting on every single puppet / mouthpiece used throughout the production on a daily basis.

Snappery is a tool for saving screenshots of websites straight from your browser. Taking a snap is reduced to clicking a bookmarklet in your browser.

Plucky (Defunct)

Plucky was an app for managing your twitter friends / followers in bulk. I began building it after I discovered amongst all my wonderful friends on twitter, I had a multitude of spam bots following me. I wanted to be able to easily weed out those bots. No longer under active development due to frequent changes to Twitter API terms.

Toolbox: Node.js (Express.js) / Redis.

Mixbooth

Mixbooth is a simple service for sharing information about DJ mixes. Mixes are found and ranked by the community. I built it because I struggled finding great mixes from unknown DJ's and there didn't seem to be any great sites for them.

Toolbox: PHP (Codeigniter) / CouchDB store.
