thinkvitamin.com — Like Lohan straight out of this week’s rehab, a web app can look rough first thing. Andrew Berkowitz knows this and takes us through five iterations of a single screen of web app Teamsnap, as it blossoms from “ugly and unusable” to “just feels right”.

If it becomes an issue: With a little bit of javascript, you could have it submit a changed checkbox after it has been unclicked for a second or too, this delay representing a confirmed change vs simply a bunch of cycling. To ensure nothing is missed, have it pop up a dialog when navigating away from the page if it happens to be in a state where it is unsure if it is being cycleing or if it is a confirmed selection. The chance of it being in such a state should be very minimal anyway, the user would have to navigate away (close, click a link, etc) between the few seconds of clicking a box and a confirmed send. (usability testing might be needed to find the optimum time for a confirmation, ie what is the usual time interval between cycling clicks vs one they've decided on)

As an internal project we didn't have a specific timeframe or budget constraint, but I will say that we managed to exceed our estimates in both regards.Andrew @ TeamSnap
