php2python.com is super useful for learning all the little things which always need doing when moving from #php to #python, e.g. splitting a string using another string, or pretty-printing a dict.
Twitter’s typeahead.js looks like a great base for #indieweb #autosuggest — it certainly has better UX than my current technique #bookmark #js
Chris Messina™:
Pondering @jennydeluxe's query "Are We Suffering From Mobile App Burnout?” on @branch. What's your take? http://t.co/5IHHJjOI
.@chrismessina briefly: I agree that, whilst I have a fair number of apps installed, very few of them get regular use. Interestingly IME there is little/no correlation between cost of app and frequency of use (my most expensive apps are music creation ones which get used rarely compared to, e.g. tweetbot, mail or safari).
I also like some of @scottjenson’s thinking around JIT interactions. Certainly that approach has applications outside the #iot.
This evening’s hacking is based around parsing and importing my #iOS diagnostic data — should be interesting to see if I can find any behavioural patterns.
(btw, I refuse to sign in to branch with twitter so they can send a tweet for me so you can let me write on your branch. Just… no :)
Current status: manually copying, pasting and emailing my iOS diagnostics information to myself so I can mine and visualise it. This is stupid.
Reading https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Adolescence has made me realise I have almost no memory of the thought patterns I used/how I thought earlier in my life.
Oh for goodness sake Yahoo Groups, Unicode isn’t that difficult. No wonder everyone uses google for mailing lists (apart, apparently, from South Brent #freecycle :/)
It seems my brother is not overly impressed with my heartfelt rendition of “Half Caste”.
What is it called when you subconsciously expect a UI to be somewhere it isn’t, e.g. double-tapping a word in a dead tree book to get a definition, or expecting a "like/favourite" button in, e.g, an email client?
And no jokes about obsession :) it can't just be me.
Shane Becker:
It kinda blows me away that there have been ~1600 downloads of my little gem that's very not done. Who does that?

Shane Becker yeah, where are all these #ruby apps consuming µf2?! My fairly complete #php µf2 parser has had 55 installs so far, probably mainly me updating it :)
Tags and categories have different connotations. To me, tags are community, collaboration, flexibility, fuzziness, visibile metadata. Categories are authority, rigidity, structure, taxonomy. Tags can be found inside content (#hashtags), categories are separate, controlling entities. Content owns tags. People own tags. Categories own content. Authority owns categories.
Beware of vague naming — some software mistakes one for the other (e.g. Mediawiki categories are in fact many-to-many).
The organisational technique used doesn’t only have technical and usability implications, but social and philosophical (or pseudo-philosophical?) ones.
Erin Jo Richey:
@BarnabyWalters Tags provide bottom-up structure and information architecture, categories provide top-down structure and IA.
.Erin Richey my reasoning is that tags are something you add to content, whereas categories are something you put content into. Tags -> content -> categories — so categories are higher up in the pecking order.

@BarnabyWalters Tags provide bottom-up structure and information architecture, categories provide top-down structure and IA.
Erin Richey well, that’s the sane, eloquent, rational way of putting it :)
Tags enrich your content, categories demean it.
