Announcing Persona


Announcing Persona, a new Cargo initiative

Persona is a new publishing platform featuring personal webpages with device-agnostic layouts, including an ever revolving collection of design styles, the highest quality typography in partnership with Webtype, and instant personal domains.

Persona runs on a new set of publishing tools, built from the ground up, that will soon become available for Cargo members as well.

New design: Rosetta


Rosetta is a completely horizontally-oriented design: the contents of the site never exceed the height of the browser window; text, images and other media can be scrolled through along the x-axis.

Text has a columnizing feature: if it does not fit in the available height, an additional column is generated, ad infinitum.

Rosetta is designed to accommodate a wide variety of display devices.

New design: Ikonos

Ikonos features large thumbnails on a dark background. It separates Project images into individual blocks, with each block centered and scaled to fit the browser window.

Neptune is similar to Rosetta, however here the layout is oriented both horizontally and vertically: Project content scrolls horizontally; the thumbnail index vertically.

Neptune is designed to accommodate a wide variety of display devices.

Color picker update


The color picker in the CSS Inspector now includes an opacity slider. When used to modify hexadecimal colors (e.g. #ff0033), it will convert these to RGBA (Red Green Blue Alpha).

New design: Betelgeuse


In the Betelgeuse Design, individual thumbnail images can be doubled in size, providing a way to create more variety in visual rhythm, and to emphasize specific works. To use, click on the + icon at the top-right of a thumbnail image (visible when logged in).

The thumbnail index uses a liquid layout that always fills the available display width.

New design: Copernicus


Copernicus is one of our ‘Feed’-based designs — Projects are loaded onto a vertically scrolling page which continues to load new projects as you scroll. It’s structured into two sections — Feed and Index — which you can rename in your Display Options.

Images on the page adjust their width: if an image is larger than the available width inside the browser, it is scaled down, while never scaling larger than its original size.

Copernicus is designed to accommodate a wide variety of display devices.

New design: Cassini


Cassini (a Copernicus derivative) is one of our ‘Feed’-based designs — Projects are stacked onto a vertically scrolling page, spread over multiple columns if there is enough space inside the browser window.

Images on the page adjust their width: if an image is larger than the available width inside the browser, it is scaled down, while never scaling larger than its original size.

Cassini is designed to accommodate a wide variety of display devices.

Image handling overhaul

We've completely redone Cargo's image handling: we now store many size variants of the images you upload so that we can choose the most appropriate version in different display contexts, devices, resolutions, screens sizes, etc.
