great website for a coder :)

I saw this website after it was tweeted by smashingmag, and had to share it here http://designersfriend.co.uk/

Very risky idea, since it could become very unfriendly for non-coder visitor, but I think Andy did a great job with the planning, and I happen to find it very intuitive.

That's a great find Diogo! Never seen one like this b4; thx for sharing.

I think it would work well as a one-off/showcase. For everyday use/after a few clicks it kinda becomes tedious..

Very clever, but close to 'too damn clever for its own good'.

Some ideas seem great in paper, but then they don't work at all. What I like in this site is that it woks because it was very well thought. I can imagine all the difficult decisions that had to be made to balance the usability and the respect for the original idea of making it look like pure code. I must say I am impressed by how it works well. Not forgetting that his target are webdesigners and not final clients. I like it!

Couldn't agree more, diogo! Great concept and superb execution.
