What is Digg?53 Comments
- Carbamide, on 10/12/2007, -1/+28Note that I didn't read the article, but everytime someone puts "AMAZING" in the title of something, it makes me want to stab them in the eye.
- Kittyflipping, on 10/12/2007, -2/+13SO AMAZING!@!!!@#~~!11`1`!!
Think of all the time I'll save not having to click a 'Search' button!!! And AJAX, BUZZWORD BONER! - jrchin, on 10/12/2007, -1/+12Cool app, but I prefer MSDN's HTML reference. This AJAX app doesn't really help unless you have a really good idea of what you're looking for already. And ditto the sentiment about stabbing whoever uses "AMAZING" in their titles.
- aboutblank, on 10/12/2007, -4/+14Dear Digg submitters,
STOP putting "amazing" in your titles! Just stop! There ARE other adjectives you know! - seanmc303, on 10/12/2007, -2/+11This digg blows when compared to:
http://www.gotapi.com/ - bjammin, on 10/12/2007, -1/+5I don't get it, why did you all dig that down?
- aonic, on 10/12/2007, -1/+5ya, this is more for developers who already know what they are looking for, or at least have some kind of idea about what they need.
I usually use it because I forget which arg comes first in functions like explode, in_array, etc - TheBarge, on 10/12/2007, -2/+5Why not just install the DevBoi extension to Firefox? That's assuming you use Firefox. It's awesome, includes references for HTML 4.0.1, CSS 2.1, Javascript 1.3, DOM 2, and plugins for Ruby, Rails and PHP. No MySQL though, at least not that I've found.
Cool thing with DevBoi is it's an easy-to-use sidebar so you can lookup references while looking at the page you're working on. - r3zonance, on 10/12/2007, -0/+3MSDN HTML reference :S
Microsoft is the last place you want to look for any info on HTML! - CircleFusion, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2I don't get it either. In my opinion, a lot of the digging down is simply mood-related. I've read people trying to rationalize the digging-down of certain comments before, but it often doesn't hold water. In the very least, it isn't very consistent.
- yahoofrom, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2great reperence.
- niggipino, on 10/12/2007, -8/+10Very nice tool. Hopefully the MySQL section will be finished soon
- trollick, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2Digg, because the site itself DOES NOT use the word AJAX
- ReK42, on 10/12/2007, -6/+8This is actually pretty damn sweet, I'm tired with the php.net function reference, and having php and mysql, plus the other two web programming languages together in this tool is awesome.
/b/lame your friend for the attention, but it earns it on its own - aonic, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2These actually sound like great ideas, r2d7.
This was just a weekend/one night project, but your feedback is giving me more ideas.
Thanks - eljaysun, on 10/12/2007, -1/+3Hooray for diggers from Neverside
- benjaoming, on 10/12/2007, -1/+2Search hits are horrible. Using PHP and searching for 'open' shows alot of totally un-organized hits with 'fopen()' not among them. Searching for 'mysql_query' will show 'mysql_escape_string'. And documentation without user comments? :(
- Xilon, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1Old
- aonic, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1Scott! I looking for that but you're never online anymore so I couldn't ask you for it lol
- EXreaction, on 10/12/2007, -5/+6Then why are you wasting your time commenting on it?
- kmarius, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1The references at Zvon is also good.
http://www.zvon.org/index.php?nav_id=references&mime=html - gharding, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1Is this really that much faster than typing php.net/function_youre_looking_for ?
- BigToach, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1This reminds me of the yahoo/konfabulator plugin that I made for this Raja. http://projects.bigtoach.com/ql-widget/
Much Love as usual Raja - Drakazz, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1Why would you need php/mysql/html/css reference in a web browser?
I believe that coding is done in a text editor, isn't it?
I'd hate to keep switching all the time.
Instead just use Zend Studio - it's free !:) - fatbeaver, on 10/12/2007, -1/+2what's so AMAZING about this?
- ruprecht, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1No results for =, ==, equals or equality for JS. Doesn't support operators? Nice concept, not amazing and not particularly useful. Sorry.
- seanalltogether, on 10/12/2007, -1/+25 results at at a time, what am i supposed to do with that?
this is the complete opposite of "quick lookup" - smoothoperatah, on 10/12/2007, -1/+2so we're still diggin the words "amazing" and "ajax"... ok.
- CircleFusion, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1I think he/she was intending that as feedback, although it is not very constructive.
- ruprecht, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1How about "MUNDANE!!!" or "NOT REALLY AMAZING, BUT I WANT TO HIT TEH HOMEPAGE!!!" or even "WHATEVER!!!"
- inactive, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1Feedback aonic -
Get a real search algorithm. It appears you're doing a basic "like" query.
Make it a desktop application with a local database because I and everyone I know wants results *now*. This kind of thing should be sitting in the taskbar or system tray and out of the way unless it's needed.
Make the database populated online and have users contributing to it there - that way you can still generate ad revenue and you'll get a much more complete dataset. People using the application can synch their local copy once a day/week/month/on demand/whatever.
You can also link from within the application to the online page for discussing/contributing/whatever to that page.
Let the application receive text from a drag/drop and have it query first for the language to see if it can identify the appropriate lang, then search for the term. - sixtwozero, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1what did you search for?
- aonic, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1Everyone has their own preferences.
While you may enjoy opening a new tab to load up php.net, someone else might enjoy typing the term into google to search through 10 links to see which one is most relevant. - MikoLone, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0I don't see how it is sooo amazing. I go to JS and I think what should I type in... I put XML nothing. I put int MATH and I get nothing. There are no examples for most things. It says it is an AJAX reference so I put in childNodes and I get nothing. I am definately going to stick with the sources I currently use. Especially the one that this tool keeps refering me to.
"No results for childNodes. Try Google." - EXreaction, on 10/12/2007, -3/+3Cool, but somewhat a lame way of telling you that you need 3 or more chars...
"helo, need three or more chars. kthx."
...and you shouldn't need at least 3 chars, it should start searching right away.
(if the dev of it is around) - Rider, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0aonic. So hot right now. aonic.

- coolbru, on 10/12/2007, -2/+1Well, it didn't find a single one of the PHP or MySQL terms I entered, so I'm not impressed.
- aonic, on 10/12/2007, -2/+1@r2d7
Your comment is quite redundant :)
(see: your own reply under the first comment)
Instead of bashing it, how about you give me feedback? - aonic, on 10/12/2007, -2/+1They're not in the same category.
gotAPI is a full blown manual search, this is mostly to look up details about the args, attributes, etc - bbene, on 10/12/2007, -4/+2I've been using this thing for months. I use it often during my development.
- inactive, on 10/12/2007, -4/+2People digging it and/or using it is pretty amazing. I can't imagine a real developer giving up Google or 3" of window for a redundant and poor search tool.
- sixtwozero, on 10/12/2007, -3/+0The smart user would just use display: none; .
Nothing impressive. - aonic, on 10/12/2007, -4/+1I'll see what I can do
- aonic, on 10/12/2007, -5/+1Alright, removed the 3 character limit, and the lame "notice"
- FloHimself, on 10/12/2007, -4/+0let's first remove the upcomming ads with stylish:
@namespace url(http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml);
@-moz-document domain("ql.aonic.net") {
#ad {
visibility:hidden;
}
} - useless666, on 10/12/2007, -9/+5Fixed Link: http://ql.aonic.net/info.php
- Tredici, on 10/12/2007, -5/+0There's really no need for "helo, need three or more chars. kthx," though. It's a good service so why ruin with an average attempt at being funny?
- inactive, on 10/12/2007, -8/+3That's so amazing ... especially cause it's a 3" wide sidepanel of redundancy.
Why would anyone choose this over Google, which can be integrated with browsers, software, desktops, cellphones and probably toilets. -
