There are very little details that are with me about this stunning piece of work, but before I get to that, I urge you to visit this URL and check out the beauty for yourself. Of course, we recommend a Webkit browser for this. The site, apparently, is a demo of the Dashboard for an admin interface for something ‘Pastel’. There’s a lot going on there — a nifty growl-like notifications area, a text-editor with live Markdown previews, a section for UI elements, a photo montage, iPhone app preview and a location sandbox using Google Maps. There’s an excellent use…

We’ve already written about Elements in the past here on Beautiful Pixels. When it was introduced on the App Store, it brought along a beautifully elegant interface to write in and a feature set that made it a great writing app on the App Store.

You’ll probably only understand the importance of this app if you have either lived in any of the metros in India, or tried to hire a rickshaw or taxi in one. The rickshaw and taxi wallahs in almost every metro (May be not Mumbai) are on the tip of their toes, ready to jump on and con every outsider looking to travel around in the city. It’s the sad reality of the public transport here — tampered meters and overcharging drivers are a common sight. A-Rix Meter is an app that’ll help you if you find yourself caught in such…
