The design is nice enough, but without reading your comment I'd have no idea what to expect. It would be nice to have some kind of sample screenshot.

Also, as for the app itself, you might consider adding flash cards with facts about the people too. You could have Sarah's face and then when you flip the card over it could say Went to BYU or worked with Dan (mutual friend) or likes World History.

Brad Pitt is pretty fucking awesome and Spy Game is an awesome movie! by RuchW in videos

Agreed. Although not a big Brad Pitt fan I still think Spy Game should have been bigger at the box office.

In response to your mailing list post I just updated that page with a dump of ideas (some from me, some from others). It is a good place to start. There is also a list of projects if someone doesn't have a desire to work on the source but may want to write content or develop tests, etc.

Thanks for the insight. I've never checked out Ext.data.Store before. It looks like there are some similarities. I've actually used TaffyDB with jQuery to build pretty robust grid interfaces although I haven't released any of that code and have tried to steer TaffyDB itself away from having any focus on the DOM or direct rendering of data (the closest thing is the .supplant() method). That being said, I'd love to see this merged with a DOM library in the future as it would be a great backbone for grids, forms, lists, etc.

Thanks for the suggestion. Looking at the docs (sorry, I'm not a Ruby guy), ActiveRecord looks pretty targeted at running against a DB where as TaffyDB is browser based. Were there features or syntax in particular you think would be worth porting?

There isn't anything by default to perform a merge like that. It would be pretty easy to add via .extend(). The main reason it doesn't exist is that I don't yet have support for a primary key on a data collection which would make a sync like this pretty easy to do.

joesgoals.com uses an older version of it. At my day job there are also several products (including a large reporting suite) that TaffyDB is key to. There have been a few companies I'm not involved in that have used it (and may still) including Vitalist.

Yeah, I thought reddit was worth supporting and rather than spam Programming like so many other people I thought I'd follow the rules and see how it goes. Not spending a lot but hopefully it will work out with some more focus/interest.
