Tonight came fast didn't it :). As I was typing out the previous email the ideas just kept coming and I haven't even had breakfast yet (honestly this kind of inspiration is unprecedented), usually I'm busting my head trying t= o work things out, but here's the latest iteration. www.brokenkode.com/fofr/Version-0.4.jpg The changes include that the flag items has been changed to select items. A check box now replaces the remove button which we can do things like mark a= s read or whatever. New feeds are highlighted in bold. I'm still working on where to put the total number of unread feeds. Maybe you're right Andrew, maybe the solution is to have 10 unread items (total unread 220) or whatever. I'll have a play around with that aspect. When reading any particular link we also get the background highlighted as indicated. It's a good visual indicator of what we are reading. Reading preferences have been flipped over to the other side, since it make= s more sense there. I've included an admin panel link, since that's where we'll store the user information (password, login, email) and deleting feeds. Regarding the categories and tags links in the main items, yes we'd make them wrap at 50% of the length or something like that. I guess more often than not this won't be an issue. I usuaully put 3 or 4 tags, and maybe a couple of categories however for those that go a bit mental that's cool as well. Putting them underneath each other for the sake of a couple of times isn't really worth it IMHO, but that can easily be modified to do things |

I think the "m" and "u" links in the feed list should be added back in place of the action checkbox. Perhaps as icons, instead of links.

I'm more interested in the unread count. What if the total count was put in a title attribute that would show when you hover your mouse on the feed? > I've included an admin panel link, since that's where we'll store the > user information (password, login, email) and deleting feeds. > +1 on adding an admin page. Currently the un-framed (Panel) view also has links for admin functions. (import, export, edit options, etc) I think it's better to move the admin functions to it's own view. |

I'll explain what my thinking regarding the action tickbox was all about. I= t really is a question of how far we actually want to go down this particular road. So here are the options: 1. On the sidebar we have the option to actually select all, unselect, mark them as read and then mark them as unread. The action ticklist is there to choose inidivdual items off or on the list that we would like to mark as read or whatever. 2. We could then go one step further and have individual read tick boxes in the full items on the right hand side? They could all be done in that light blue colour and once the check box has been ticked then they turn the grey colour shown? It would be very easy to edit them as a 'paged', so that work= s very well as well. This might neeed some funky ajax going for it (or maybe not). 3. Regarding marking something and updating an individual feed, we're 'marking' them works best with the action button. Now Kevin you mentioned saving or unsaving them...we have that functionality? Saving individual feeds would be very nice. I'd also like a history view as well (this idea i= s stolen directly from Feedlounge to be honest, but it works well). 4. One final point about the Updating on each individual feed, I'll include another icon in there, because it is a good idea to give you full control o= f each feed. 5. I think putting the total number of feeds in the admin panel works bette= r because that's also where we'll be dealing with the actual editing of the feeds that it makes sense to put that information there. 6. Finally I'll be looking to not having any links in the sidebar. The entire line will be a link of sorts that opens up the individual feeds on the right hand side. You control the links from above and the update icon discussed above and the action tickbox. I think that makes it less cluttere= d and more intuative to the user. It'll become clearer when I sort out my nex= t iteration Which will hopefully come later on this evening.

Since writing that I've had a bit of a think and it'll all become clear (I hope) in the next iteration. Thanks Miles.

It's a good visual indicator of what we are reading. Do you mean how in the left frame the feed that you've selected to read in the right frame is highlighted? In the examples so far the highlighted feed (in light blue) hasn't corresponded to the items in the right frame. -- Katie Bechtold http://hoteldetective.org/ |

Katie I'd check out version 0.7 for the latest.
