OneSlate socialdev

Interesting reading.  Fits OneSlate nicely.

While sifting through the archives of material collected for/from OneSlate, I revisited some early mockups and thought I would share.  It may be noted that these experimentations contain errors and there have been pivots in approach since they were made, but what the hell:

In doing early technology research (comparing jQuery against YUI, Prototype, etc.), I came across some impressive projects that demonstrate how simple it can be to implement somewhat advanced functionality into web apps.  These are largely visualization and interface related in functionality.  Highlights include:

• Excanvas – canvas support for IE
• Flot - highly configurable charts in jquery with json support, etc.
• jQgrid – fast live interface with large datasets
• Tufte Graph – more pretty jQuery charts

Also useful are the jQuery plugins infintedrag.js, jeditable.js, curvycorners.js, etc. for quick nice visual and interface improvements.

Also, I did some database visualization my least year of college.  The project was Intergraphik, a filtering, navigation, and visualization tool in jQuery.  Screenshot below shows a dataset ripped from myStarbucksIdea.com (a SalesForce implementation with a nice 80,000 idea submissions.)

This is a “living” post intended to be updated over time. In the research phase of OneSlate, a great number of contributors, both organisations and individuals, with significant prior art in tangential subjects surfaced.

For no particular reason than perhaps to attempt to identify a market, find or common threads amongst a talent base, or acknowledge related research which may interface with OneSlate, here is that list. In no particular order:

Several concepts presented together in Poor Charlie’s Almanack from Munger’s various speeches and other contributions play somewhat in OneSlate.

For example,

• Multiple mental models
• Decision-making trees
• Accounting for cognitive biases

And the list goes on.

…or you can call me purple.  You saw it first here.

I watched it over the summer on the recommendation of a friend, which I pass along.  It occurs to me that episodes would be fantastically fun to build and experience mapped on OneSlate.  Can’t wait to share an early build.

Testing out an application..

relating to OneSlate.  In order to encourage discussion, if only in one’s mind, some of of those papers will be mentioned or commented on here at OneSlate’s socialdev. Somewhat less pleasing but still remarkable were a number of mainstream articles, some of which may also be referenced and commented on here.  I guess you can call this a reading list, of sorts, in the name of discussion.  Of note is that much of this content is not simply social news stories from the last year or two.

Some topics and ideas may seem tangential, but their place may later solidify.
