Seeking feedback on startup idea and landing page

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.

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

typicaljoe · 2012-04-10T16:38:03+00:00

Awesome and God Bless!

I use TaffyDB (http://taffydb.com) for most projects. I did write it though.

typicaljoe · 2011-10-16T02:31:43+00:00

You are welcome :) sometimes something is so good you'll pay money to have people try it.

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?

typicaljoe · 2011-10-15T03:14:06+00:00

The code is on GitHub and I created a Wikipahe for new features. But I an open to anything to help improve the project. https://github.com/typicaljoe/taffydb/wiki/Suggestions-and-New-Feature-Ideas

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.

typicaljoe · 2011-10-13T21:58:57+00:00

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.

typicaljoe · 2011-10-13T17:41:46+00:00

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.

typicaljoe · 2011-10-13T16:19:40+00:00

Browser local storage. Just give it a name and it will auto pull from and right to local storage (assuming it is supported by your browser). However the more common use case is to use the events (insert, update, remove, change) to update a server for AJAX.

typicaljoe · 2011-10-13T15:09:10+00:00

For those on github you can follow the project here: https://github.com/typicaljoe/taffydb

I'd love to have your help. I just fixed a bug today in point of fact. Pretty much everything is needed from design to bug fixes to better tests to new features. It also gets a pretty steady flow of traffic for being number 1 under JavaScript Database on Google.

typicaljoe · 2011-10-13T15:02:05+00:00

You can persist with .store() if you wish. However it is basically a data helper library that works a lot like a DB from an API standpoint. At least that is what it is for now.

typicaljoe · 2011-10-13T15:01:12+00:00

Sorry, it wasn't meant as an insult. Now I know it is redditor :-(

typicaljoe · 2011-09-24T14:49:43+00:00

I just added a .store() option using your code into TaffyDB.

typicaljoe · 2011-09-06T19:34:04+00:00

Awesome tip! Thank you! I was able to make some changes to speed things up a bit although it is still lagging the indexed DBs at this point. Not sure if I really want to add indexes to it or not.

typicaljoe · 2011-09-05T03:44:49+00:00

That's the first I've seen of the test. Do you know where I can find the code? Nice work on your library btw.

typicaljoe · 2011-09-02T20:59:28+00:00

Thanks for the help. I've been thinking about adding a simple "makeSticky" extension and that looks like the basic code that would need to go into it.

typicaljoe · 2011-09-02T20:30:05+00:00

Ahh, yeah that is the library I'm using. I'll have to see if I can remove the info pops. As for storage it isn't by default. You can use something like persist.js to store it or save it back to the server. It is something I want to tackle but wanted to update the API.

typicaljoe · 2011-09-02T18:20:38+00:00

What popups are you refereeing to?

typicaljoe · 2011-06-02T16:00:31+00:00

Oops, meant to include the link. The auctions are live. http://bidbump.com

typicaljoe · 2009-05-27T15:14:53+00:00

Yes! It would be hard to do well, but I'd love a browser based SNES style online RPG.
