What is Digg?33 Comments
- fivenodes, on 01/13/2009, -0/+21Mostly obvious, but still valuable. Imagine if the whole internets used this advice? What a wonderful place that would be! AKA not 4chan.
- GregFD3S, on 01/13/2009, -0/+17Dugg for the inclusion of all ten on one page.
- aubinhick990, on 01/13/2009, -0/+12This is a great, really informative article. Anyone who designs websites should take something from this.
- vtbarrera, on 02/03/2009, -1/+8Yeah, there seems to be an expanding trend towards more web developers integrating applications into their website offerings. That's totally the reason why I thing browsers such as Google's Chrome will continue to see growth in users.
- lovemorgul, on 01/13/2009, -0/+4Great tips to enhance the usability of any Website.
- godsdead, on 01/13/2009, -0/+4I wish that Searchbar menu, was released for jquery plugin =]
- iKnowKungFoo, on 01/13/2009, -0/+4This information is only obvious to those of us that have been building web applications for more than a few years. For those getting started or who haven't yet had the opportunity to implement features like this, this is a great list of techniques.
- CrushThemTorg, on 01/13/2009, -0/+4These are just CSS and JS tricks, it has nothing to do with Chrome.
- WoollyMittens, on 01/13/2009, -0/+4So we need fantasy form-elements, hidden content and pop-up layers covering the page? I know that I can implement all this eye-candy in an accessible way, but nobody else ever does.
Too bad that accessibility isn't the next fad:

- MtheoryX, on 01/13/2009, -0/+3Progressive enhancement and graceful degradation FTW!
- acherion, on 01/13/2009, -0/+3Great article for us developers. Better still, it's a good article to push to those developers who still think inline styles and table-based layouts are the norm.
<3 Smashingmagazine :D - stuffradio, on 01/13/2009, -0/+3You know I will! It's a great list :)
- upick, on 01/13/2009, -0/+3I've been looking for an interface type resource for inspiration.
This is pretty damn good and dugg because they had digg in there too - inactive, on 01/13/2009, -0/+2The nice thing about the way web application development is evolving is isolation between design and the back end. It's never been easier to work with the design people rolling these apps out.
- rhysboy84, on 01/13/2009, -0/+2Dugg for sheer usefulness
- sockpuppets, on 01/13/2009, -2/+4All of my designs adhere to UBS. (Universal Bacon Standards.)
- udayd, on 01/14/2009, -0/+2i meant to add...i do that as a backup for JS in case someone has it disabled.
- nothin2g, on 01/13/2009, -0/+2How does the resize of the digg background image work in their example?
- MtheoryX, on 01/13/2009, -1/+3YO DAWG, I HEARD YOU LIKE DIGG ARTICLES...
- vetindo, on 01/14/2009, -0/+2another top recommended softwares for veterinarian:
http://www.bestvetstore.com/veterinary-software/to ... - Kinsbane, on 01/13/2009, -0/+2Is there an example online of using jQuery to emulate the search functionality seen on Kontain? Would love to use that interface aspect for a project I'm working on...
- erichh, on 01/13/2009, -0/+2
very interesting and satisfying article! This is the stuff that I visit SM for! - udayd, on 01/14/2009, -0/+2you can do the same "eye candy" that JS does with some creative PHP sessions..that's usually what I do.
- diggitbrother, on 01/13/2009, -0/+1true on all accounts; it can be helpful to be reminded of the "obvious" from time to time though so that people don't lose sight of their end goals.
- GwingWong, on 01/13/2009, -0/+1Web apps will replace most of the desktop apps someday...and replacing now
- ivandjk, on 01/13/2009, -2/+2very helpful
- designerutah, on 01/13/2009, -1/+1Except that they don't talk about OS X at all, but they do mention Office 7 and the ribbon. I take your point though... many of the recommends ARE things that OS X does, but that doesn't mean they're promoting OS X, just that OS X is a good example of some of them.
I agree with most of these, and have been designing UIs for a long time, but 1 of them I disagree with. SOME users want to be handed only the nav elements that are (typically) useful. Other users hate having nav elements change. These tend to be power users (who know it all and expect it to be available whenever its possible) and people with mental or visual conditions such as ADHD, OCD, color-blindneww (where menus hide, it's hard to see) etc. for whom a changing interface is extremely frustrating. - Cowicide, on 01/13/2009, -3/+3You could shorten the entire article and just say you should make your interfaces look and act like Apple Mac OS X.
That's what practically every step in the article teaches. - ndev2k, on 01/13/2009, -5/+1I like to read about the new generation of programs as I am a budding programmer myself.
