prototype aggregation

Greetz..

Very much a work in progress: www.seekng.com

I *love* this framework. I use EXTJS for dialogs, curvy boxes, some Ajaxian mayhem. I also use Saki's awesome Accordion/InfoPanel extensions.. I plan to donate to both efforts when some cash reveals itself to me

This site tries to mash up Search, Feed/RSS Reading, Tagging, and some crude social features.. I am a sleep-deprived fool :)

Discuss reasons for no comments, fiends

Looks nice!

I'm happy to see that Accordion/InfoPanel is in use.

PS: The title of the thread could be reason for no comments. I've found it only because I was looking for some posts that are Accordion related. Otherwise I would never click it. Consider to use more descriptive title that says what application does.

Cheers,

Yes you are right, of course :)
My title was crap.. and i have so little time to enhance UI of my site to make it clear what can be done with it..

Your accordions are just awesome, sir. I tip my hat to you

Hi jazzman,

very nice site, well done. Some little bugs i saw:
adding empty feed on the right will let disappear the feeds.

As you are in beta - is there a betatester-login to see more funcionality?

[alienjazzcat]

greetz :)
You can just click "login" and type username/password and you're in.. Thanks for bug reports.. i know this is frayed on the edges

You can comment on stories from feeds, or Search, and they may appear in the categorized headline area

I'm just tinkering.. definitely "alpha".. i've been trying to manifest some kind of webswarm framework in a variety of ways, and this is just the latest stab at a site built around it.. between dayjob and family/kids/monsters, I have little precious time

well i have trying to reach the site , but for some reason i couldnt ....

[alienjazzcat]

weird.. sorry about that.
should be up.. its up now.. maybe some issue at godaddy

Hi jazzman :)

one thing i dislike - while loading you see the "unext" divs in normal html-order, after loading they rearrange throug ext.

Why don't you use a loading mask, maybe set the divs invisible while loading (e.g. the main div) ?
You could use a nice loading box with some infos to bridge the loading time.
This would upvalue whole site ;)

just my 2 cents

[alienjazzcat]

You are definitely right..
I am just slow getting around to stuff :)

Also, I ran metrics against this with YSlow (Yahoo's plugin for FireBug..), and based on its recommendations pushed all the javascript to the end of the HTML. This led me to delay the "loading-mask" project..

right now i'm working on adding more "mark-as-read" UI to the feed results, so when that's done I'll get around to the loading-mask

thanks for checking it out :)
