the flickr preview functionality thing is a little wonky. probably not buggy, but the way it works is weird, especially if you fly over all of the links with your mouse.
since the search functionality is the core of your app, you should focus more on the search box. its a little hidden inside things. put the search functionality inside the central blue bar on the main page, google style. make it clear what the users are supposed to do, and then leave the supplemental register/login stuff where it is. imo, that is.
since its tag-centric, perhaps integration with technorati?
- jeroen 18y agoTechnorati would be nice, but their api does not return tags, which means that I can't create a cloud of related tags. The public search (the search box on the main page) is only half of the available functionality. For the other half you have to register and login. I appreciate your suggestion to move the search box and I'll seriously consider it, but I fear it will put too much focus on the public search.
- noodle 18y agocould you use the restful interface that they have a la their feeds? http://technorati.com/tag/ycombinator+2007 http://technorati.com/tag/ycombinator+2007 http://feeds.technorati.com/tag/ycombinator+2007 http://feeds.technorati.com/tag/ycombinator+2007 etc.. well, if you want to highlight both the search and the register, make them both stand out. i just don't feel like my eyes are attracted to them. i don't immediately know what i'm supposed to be doing on your page when i first load it up. i have to go look and read, and thats a problem, imo. where they are looks more de-emphasized, like supporting text, to me.
