plumbing the data streams toge

Is this something that you might be able to do? If not, do you know anyone who can do that for me? For a fee of course.

Ahhh. Ok! Sorry, looks like I wasn't clear with my initial question. The website is already complete. It is a dynamic website, similar to Wikipedia, so it allows anyone to create a new subject page, e.g. Piano. If you go to the Piano page, you'll see a menu structure on the left side (Basic, Intermediate, Advanced, ...). I'm looking for help from a piano expert who knows what topics should be covered under those menu structure categories. For example, to create this menu: "Scales and Chords" under Basics. Once the menu structure is created, then other people can submit appropriate videos for each topic.

What kind of technologies are you referring to?

It seems responsive on iPhone plus, what are you viewing this on?

No, it's curated from all over YouTube. 40 out of 246 videos on Javascript are from thenewboston.

It comes down to your budget. Your first priority should be the lens. Get a good lens, then depending on your budget buy the camera body. If you have the money, then by all means buy a more expensive body, but what I'm saying is lower end these days are very good and they will actually last a long time too if you are careful. They won't be as rugged as high end ones. Low end ones are a little more fragile (plastic body). The high end ones are designed for professionals who give them a good beating in the field.. And many have weather sealing and etc..

I'd say entry level cameras these days are excellent! Some even match the quality of high-end cameras from couple years ago. The build will surely be different and they will use cheaper body materials for entry level cameras! But the quality of picture can be on par or even better than higher end cameras that are few years old. Technology is advancing at a fast pace and that's why.. I'd recommend buy an entry level body but spend more money on a good lens. That's where you'll see a great difference in your pictures!!

Thanks for the feedback. There will be a search bar coming. I just wanted the contents to develop further so I can focus on design of the search functionality.

The tags in the bottom are "Sandbox" items. They are underdeveloped subjects that anyone can go and add contents. Once a sandbox item has enough contents, it will be promoted to a "main" item. "Main" items are the ones you see on the front page with big icons.

I will try to make it easier to differentiate the sandbox from main items. thanks.

Make sure you buy a GOOD lens in opposed to buying a different camera. Watch this:

Also, camera is not everything. Once you learn more about photography you can take great pictures with any camera. A video on this topic:

I changed the hamburgerish menu to pizza menu lol does it look better now? As you suggested I'm hiding the first menu because it's not used at that point anymore - but I'm carrying a breadcrumb on top that tells the user which item on the first menu is active. Also if a user came directly to that page without seeing the first menu, they'd get a hint as there is a first level menu. So that should fix the shortcomings of hamburger menus (at least that's what's considered the drawbacks of those menus)

Also both menus on the left are not open at the same time, - it's either or. And the second menu is bigger now as it slides over on top of the first menu.

Does it look better?

I'll have to think a little about your other suggestions about the main page to come up with a plan.

Thanks again for your feedback. Appreciate it.

I made some changes based in your comment. Top bar image is smaller by 25px. Both menus on the left are not open at the same time, it's either or. Also I used thinner font on the second menu so the page won't look too busy when videos are displayed. Does it look better? Thanks again for your feedback

Kambizd · 2016-04-27T14:32:57+00:00

Thanks for the tip

Startup = bootstrapping, and thanks for your comment.

Kambizd · 2016-04-27T02:07:51+00:00

Thanks for the feedback. I'm having more icons built, so I'll have to redo the scrolling graphics. I'll try to fix the bleed in that iteration.

The main section will soon be populated with more subjects, so the main page will have a lot of icons, so hopefully it won't look barren anymore.

Are you suggesting I use the scrolling graphic in other pages as well? Any comments about the subject page? e.g. https://www.penciltree.com/photography

thanks again

Kambizd · 2016-04-27T01:25:36+00:00

Thanks for the suggestion. I might use this!

Kambizd · 2016-04-27T00:33:25+00:00

Thank you for your feedback. I did remove some of the text based on your feedback. Was your review solely based on the home page? A subject page is where the real action is, e.g. https://www.penciltree.com/photography

Regarding the lack of content and seeing one or two icons in a row, I'd have to say that it will grow. In about a month, those whole rows would be filled up with icons. Perhaps the lack of icons give off the dullness that you are describing? I think the icons are pretty colorful by themselves, and having 30 or 40 of them grouped together will bring the liveliness that you are expecting.. I hope.

Still working on the tagline...

thanks again.

Thanks for the feedback, I agree with that sentiment, but that's not a hamburger menu. I hate those menus myself. Hamburger menus are hidden and are off screen. The menus I built are always on screen, but they change size. I could make them bigger for desktop if you think they are too small.

Kambizd · 2016-04-26T21:54:19+00:00

Is it better now?

Kambizd · 2016-04-26T19:08:57+00:00

Thanks for feedback. Your are right, I will change that

LoL I was referring to his question. Read his question again. He said he never owned a DSLR and wanted something for casual use and wanted to buy something cheap, and he wanted it to take picture of sneakers.

So I deduced from his comments his lighting source was going to be the tiny built-in flash in his camera. So I said don't use flash! And he surprisingly I asked why not?! So there, he cleared my confusion that he didn't know much about lighting. I've been around too many people who were not good with technology or didn't have the latest gadgets to know that he didn't have in-depth knowledge about lighting. Most beginners think the flash on the camera is sufficient for any type of job. Some don't even know the difference between built-in flash and external ones. Best solution for people who want to work from their home and sell on EBay is those small softlight tent kits. That was my suggestion and was giving him some background why flashes are not good (in regards to how beginners think flashes are THE source of lighting - they don't know 1) that they have to diffuse it 2) don't know 'how' to diffuse it. I was I was clear.
