I love the web. The web should allow anyone to access any experience that they need without the need for native install or content walled garden.
I'm starting a project to document web technologies that didn't become mainstream. For every success story, countless others fade away. I want to explore these untold stories, starting with my own experience with Web Intents. I aim to understand why some projects thrive while others don't, and share these learnings with the community. If you have a similar story, please reach out!
Keeping a 'did.txt' file is a simple yet effective way to track daily progress and solidify learning, especially useful when learning to code. It's similar to the 'snippets' we use internally, offering a concise record of individual and team accomplishments. I recommend structuring weekly summaries with 'what I did' and 'what I intend to do this week' sections for reflection and planning.
This post discusses the shortcomings of my first AJAX application. While it successfully implemented Technorati tags, it failed to provide related search functionality, which I believe is crucial for offering readers valuable external resources and further learning opportunities. I aim to address this in the next version by incorporating related searches via Yahoo's API and relevant quick links, enhancing the overall user experience and educational value of my blog.
