Idea: A pattern language for feature implementations. When I was brainstorming with a colleague on how to implement search for his side project, I brought up something like this: Search: - Searching for a particular item? Show a list of items containing the term: Wikipedia, Facebook - Autocomplete with the first result: Facebook - Redirect user to first result after entering: Wikipedia - Searching within a limited scope? Let user choose between limited and full: GitHub - Change the results while the user types: Google Is there already a site for this, listing how different projects do a particular feature?

There are several UI pattern libraries, eg. http://ui-patterns.com/explore http://ui-patterns.com/explore http://littlebigdetails.com/ http://littlebigdetails.com/ http://patternry.com/patterns/ http://patternry.com/patterns/ http://www.welie.com/patterns/index.php http://www.welie.com/patterns/index.php http://developer.yahoo.com/ypatterns/ http://developer.yahoo.com/ypatterns/

  Thank you very much! http://littlebigdetails.com/ http://littlebigdetails.com/ is close to what I'm looking for, and looks like they are organized well by tags (e.g. http://littlebigdetails.com/tagged/password http://littlebigdetails.com/tagged/password) And it doesn't have to be UI only; it would be a good idea to list down the different ways to authenticate for example (passwords, optional passwords, auth through email).
