My first jQuery project has reached open beta!

[Subway]

Hi,

First a big thank you to everyone on this list that helped me with the problems I had and of course a really big thank you to John Resig and everyone that helped him on jQuery!

I started with this project three weeks ago to learn jQuery and for that I think it came out pretty well. (If you wonder why the tool is already indexing for half a year, it's because I've taken that part from on older php project I never finished)

Here's the link to the tool, it's a feed aggregator with some unique features (especially the post button): http://www.osxcode.com/feedsearch/

The JavaScript is currently not optimized for speed or size, but I will work on that in the coming days, not that it's now slow or huge, but there sure is room for optimizations. ;-)

Additional information about it can be found on my blog: http://www.osxcode.com/

Hope you like it. :-)

Well done... beautifully implemented... but, I think you need an elevator pitch if you want the tool to be used as it's perhaps a little over designed to be genuinely useful. Just my 2 pennies worth.

There will be different templates in the future and you will be able to config the tool, like disabling the animation, setting the live search delay, excluding sources ...

Thx. :-)

Btw, I already have a pretty big list of features for the next version. One of the main new features will be user accounts where you can store, edit and share your item collections. Collections can be made public so other visitors/members can browse through them and if they like a collection, they can (digg like) "bookmark" them.

I really dig this. I think the UI is very well designed and the
animations are very tactful and well-placed.

My only suggestion is the make the 'Post' feature more prominent -
that feature, alone, makes this very worth while (reminds me a lot of
reBlog).

So, when are you releasing the source? ;-)

Thx for the comments. Will think about a way to better highlight that feature. :-)

About the source. Well, there's currently no admin and install feature. To add new feeds, you have to directly add them to mySQL with phpMyAdmin or something similar. I'm definitely planning to release the source, but not before those two features are finshed. Right now it looks like I will be busy with client work for quit some time, so no idea when that will happen.
