If you haven't heard of Instructables (instructables.com), it is a great resource for those who love tinkering, soldering, stitching, frying, and, making just about anything. You can find step-by-step instructions on various projects and interact with other users along the way. Sounds interesting? Autodesk, the company that owns Instructables, has recently released an official app for Windows and Windows Phone devices.
The Instructables app feels very Metro. It opens up to the Home section, which features a few items with thumbnails. Swiping to the left or right shows off other sections like Explore, Contests, account, and main menu.
Tapping a project displays more details about it. It includes the instructions, the user who submitted it, how many times it has been viewed, how many times it has been liked, and the number of comments. The thoroughness of the instructions may vary. Some may be very detailed, while others keep it brief and simple.
