Please please provide your feedback. This is just the initial version. Your suggestions will be taken into account to determine future features. So please review.
And don't forget to signup for notifications and a beta invite when I get around to implementing user accounts.
- josebalius 13y agoHey man, This is great, thanks!
- lazyjones 13y agoIt would be helpful if dependencies like jQuery were visible on the category (tag search result) pages.
- bgdam 13y agoGood idea. I was thinking of implementing something like where you could filter search results by dependency, but for now simply displaying the dependencies would work. Thanks!
- nhebb 13y agoI would work on shortening the number of forward and back clicks required to browse through the different UI elements.
- bgdam 13y agoHow exactly are you using it? I envisioned it as something like this: 1. Search for item or select a tag. 2. Open interesting item, check it out. 3. Check out similar items at the bottom of the page/tags for that item. What would you suggest as a way to reduce shuttling back and forth between pages?
- nhebb 13y agoHere is a sample usage: 1. Click on the 'combo-box' tag. 2. The next page shows four UI sources: selectize.js, bootstrap-select, custom-select, and jquery-custom-select-menu. I clicked on selectize.js. 3. The selectize.js page has links to the demo, download, etc. It also lists "Similar Components". I would expect these to be the three other combo-boxes, but they are links to other tags (datepick, color picker, ...). 4. Clicking demo opens the target in a new tab. After checking it out, I close that tab, and I'm back to the UIBox site. I now need to click the back button to check out the next combo-box. To check out other tags, I need to go back to the home page. One option would be to eliminate #3 above and have the demo, download, ... links next to each item on the page in #2. Another option would be to list the other items with the same tag in the Similar Components block.
- bgdam 13y agoHmmm... The similar components are suggested using all of the tags for a particular item. So if it is tagged as 'combo-box', 'bootstrap' then it is equally probable that a date-picker which is also tagged with 'bootstrap' would show up in similar components. I'll look at how I can fine tune this. As for needing to go to home page to check out other tags, you can search for components from any page and in future i'll be providing options to do a search like '[bootstrap]' to get all the items tagged with 'bootstrap'. Hopefully fixing the search box and the similar items box should resolve most of your issues.
- bgdam 13y agoFor now, I have added a Tag menu to the header from where you can easily switch between tags. Please check it out!
- uptown 13y agoLooks nice. Here's another site that aggregates jQuery based UI toolkits that you may want to refer to for ideas: http://jquery-jkit.com/ http://jquery-jkit.com/
