Web Info & Tutorials

The SynapseLife Beta of 8 free web based applications has been launched.

Its suite of applications including People, Calendar, Lists, Ledger, Broadcast, Favorites, Feeds, and Tags are developed in Javascript/Ajax. Data is interfaced to the system using JSON.

It has a rich interface built using Prototype and Moo.fx. It is also nice to see everything integrated. I do wish that the enter/return key would do what I expect though (as with up and down keys).

Jack Slocum is at it again. He sat down thinking about revamping his Wordpress comment system, and at 3am he was done.

His new comment system is based on YUI and features:

• Block Comments: A “Block” is any paragraph, image, title or code in a post. When you select a block to comment on, it is highlighted in blue
• Comments Throughout: Comments can be posted anywhere in an article. If you see something and you wish to comment on it, click on the comments bar directly next to it
• Viewing Comments: To view the comments posted by readers, click on the yellow indicator next to that “Block” on the comments bar
• Resize: The comment widget is flexible, so you can resize and move it around.
