Cross-Platform App: My Body Gallery Empowering Women
Blackburn Labs enjoys the diverse opportunities that arise from app development. In mid-2019, we had the privilege of collaborating with the team at My Body Gallery – a company that promotes a healthy mindset of the female body image. It’s a platform where women proudly showcase natural photos of their bodies and share their meaningful stories. It has become a global collective that truly embraces uniqueness.

Hasbro-Hackathon
I had the pleasure of being in a team with Doug Hopkins (@combatadvantage) and Steve Weed (@sweed84) at this weekend’s 2014 Hasbro Hackathon. Our small team won in our category! I’m very proud of what we accomplished in such a short time. Thank you to Hasbro for hosting this and creating such a great event. I look forward to doing it again next year.
The iFrame Is Evil!
So it seems that every job I work on, the same topic comes up. Someone, at some point will say, “just use an iFrame for that”. Then I need to go down the old tired road as to why that would not be a good idea.
Well, this article is going to be a bit utilitarian for me. I hope to put down in a single place all the reasons iFrames are not a cure-all solutions so that I can save myself some time in the future and just point people to this URL. As such I may update this post on occasion as I refine these points. Feel free to use this post for that same purpose if you like, and please post any suggestions or points I have missed to my twitter account (@rwbDev), I’ll be sure to credit you if I add the point to this article.
