Keep in mind that GOV.UK is more than just the homepage. While I agree that the top of the homepage looks like those useless landing pages, it becomes very evident that there’s more to the design as you scroll or click through onto other pages.
IMO the design is good. Not the best, certainly not award-winning (except maybe an award specifically pertaining to government websites), but still very good. It presents its information with such clarity that I would say it’s UX done right.
Anyway, awards are meaningless.

I’ll be working on an iOS/Android client for lobste.rs called Pinchy!
I made a start on the iOS client over the weekend, and have some basic functionality done.

Cool! Have you seen this Github issue about a previous attempt? The API never fully materialized because OAuth scares me.

@mongey: Yes, even without an authenticated API, fetching JSON representations of pages would be much easier. Just stick .json at the end of a story ID like https://lobste.rs/s/e04ccq.json

Personal work: I’m working on creating the backend API for a Poll app. I like to describe it as an “imgur for polls with a bit of twitter mixed in”. Building it in Python with the Flask framework. Backend API is purely JSON, and I’ll decide on the frontend when I cross that bridge.
I’d love to get some feedback eventually. Perhaps in a week or two?
Is there a good web framework for Julia? I’d be interested in trying it out.
