new node.

ok there is a new node in place. and all seems to be working relatively well.

been working on some other stuff for a while. but still moving along with this slowly. going to start working on the edit css now.

slightly better

using classes only, also doesn’t break in IE (as spectacularly as before)

2 samll things

added favorites node and a bit about Getting back to junctions

A user can right click + back to parent junction at any time – this solves the 2 way linking navigation problem where users travel down a branch, reach a dead end and are stuck (portal nodes notwithstanding of course)

user profiles and moving

so here something that needs to be worked out more.

the ability to place and move your homenode, your user profile.

if you can move it, what happens to all the other nodes that you have created around it? do they jump with it? what happends to other nodes that you have linked that are close? im just wondering what would happen to the dynamics of everything if it was easily movable.

should we be able to move our home nodes? i assume it would be cool to be able to choose our starting location, but maby not, maby we are given a spot in the general user profile sector.

what if we could assign our user profile a direction, so once it is initially created in the user section, we could slowly have it drift in a direction of choice, or just stay still. this will of course work in balance with the gravity and things of the other surrounding connected nodes. our profile could have an immediate effect on our direct children surrounding nodes and they would move a little too, but less than the profile node, since they are more affected by other forces linking into them.

a small thing

incase you didnt notice adam, the x and  y position field on the home node are back to front :)

New ideas for these two concepts have been added in the following places:

Nodes/Conecpts->Concepts->Old Nodes

Nodes/Conecpts->Concepts->Node Connectors

They cover the basics of what happens to old nodes, how they and their connecting community are handled, along with the creation and removal of connecting nodes. Please join the discussion in the comments and help us refine these ideas and also pointing out established concepts that we may have neglected to add.

Nodes/Concepts layout

Ok, was thinking about further organising the nodes/concepts layout. here is my idea:

Each page inside the nodes/concepts page has a short description etc. then in the comments we discuss the future/changes for this idea. the progress is then tracked via the sub pages of this page. so each awesome new idea is posted on a sub page of that, maby even along with the other ideas. so we end up with something like this:

  • Nodes/Concepts
    • TODO Page – (discussion in comments)
      • ver1
      • ver1.1
      • ver1.2
