A blog about building a tool for Shape Up

The theme on this blog

If you follow 37Signals, or rather their email/calendar product Hey, you might have noticed how wickedly similar the theme of this blog is to their blogging functionality on Hey.

It was a quasi-unintentional thing I did, really.

I was looking for a theme for this blog that was clean and simple. I looked into a lot of different free themes out there, but nothing really caught my eye. Then I thought about the look and feel for the Hey generated blog spaces (users of hey.com can send emails to [email protected] and have their content of that email as a blog post).

I went over, looked at it, and yeah, kind of stole the design; in my defense: I really like it (does that count?)!
