Explore content discovery mechanisms #210

Open cvan opened 9 years ago

It'd be cool if every Wednesday the featured tiles rotated - keeping the content fresh.

It'd also be cool if somehow it could be crowdsourced.

Maybe a Google Forms form, a simple web form, a Twitter hashtag (like what @caseyyee + @jcarpenter put together for GDC demo), or a simple way for the community to open issues/PRs against (similar to how BeautifulOpen has uses the issues of its GitHub repo for sourcing submissions).

see the work done in PR #181, where we created the MozVR/webvr-demos and the whistler branch (@caseyyee is working on upstreaming some of this to master in PR #187)

see this comment in #211 ("Figure out how to allow Horizon dogfooders to add personal favourites/bookmarks") for additional related insight

VR CSS Zen Garden could also be really cool :D

Potch also mention leveraging RSS mechanisms at one point...

Given that there's a ton of ways we could do this from an implementation standpoint, I think we want to start by stepping back and thinking about the big picture objectives, then brainstorming various solutions in more depth, then selecting one or more to prototype and potentially deploy.

yes, this!

though, we'd have to play by different rules. limiting to an HTML document for CSS•VR where you can't change the HTML - that becomes a challenge with CSS•VR (today). I've always wanted to do a Perf Zen Garden - think like js1k but with a perf budget (14 KB for document+JS+CSS or 500 ms). could do something similar. interesting idea.

yeah, the format helps w/ read vs. unread. but not sure where you'd subscribe from.

related: Wordpress (and Movable Type - yes lol I remember that) used (still uses?) XML-RPC-based Trackbacks.
