Redesign browsing interface #12

Closed ryanmuller closed 12 years ago

ryanmuller commented 12 years ago

Problems now:

Loading everything is excessive.
Video and item don't line up

One possibility is like http://dochub.io/#css/, making the left column more succinct then having the longer entry and video (and probably review stuff) appear in the right.

Also would be nice to be able to filter by chapter/lecture as in #7 or by definition/theorem/etc

I like the dochub.io interface -- it's clean and fast.

It would appear they load everything onto the page, and toggle display: none as needed, which would have the added advantage of hiding the LaTeX rendering while the user thinks about what they want to do.

I'm gonna branch and try this out, see how it looks.

You might want to look into https://github.com/balupton/History.js to change the URL without reloading the page. The hash thing that dochub and a lot of other sites use is controversial. History.js seems easy enough.

Alrighty -- redid the interface, looks pretty decent in my mind.

Things to consider:

MathJax is still slowing down the page because it is rendering everything in the background
Currently only displays one item at a time... open to suggestions on how to best dynamically display matches as you type (if even necessary??)
There are a fair number of items without names/descriptors, which we should fix in google docs and update

Very nice!

The only problem is that everything looks like bootstrap nowadays :P Maybe we can just play around with the title bar..

Are you talking about displaying only one at a time in the right column? That seems fine to me..
