I'm Chris.
I spend my time (more than i should probably admit to) figuring out why some experiences feel effortless and others fall apart, across design, research, accessibility and technology. It always starts with the same question on every project...
How can we make things work better for people?
Sometimes that means helping organisations design better products and services. Sometimes it means following an idea simply because it's interesting.
Gather is one of those ideas.
What is Gather?
Gather started while I was exploring how AI and collaborative tools might help people collect, organise and build knowledge together. Somewhere along the way I realised I needed something much simpler.
I always loved how simple, and how effective the old Del.icio.us website was at helping people discover content that other people valued - I first discovered the the original War of the worlds radio recording through this method (This link is a bit of a tribute to that), but it also made me realise that the web is constantly changing. Great articles get updated, moved or quietly disappear. Gather is my way of holding onto the things worth revisiting. It's less about bookmarking and more about building a personal library.
I built it because I wanted it. I'm building it in the open because someone else might find it useful too.
