Designing an A-Z navigation web component

Artemis, the calm web reader I maintain, has an Authors page that lists all of the websites to which you are subscribed. The list is presented in alphabetical order, with a heading for each letter in the alphabet to aid in navigation. There is a search feature, too. I follow...

When I first looked out the window this morning, I first noticed the faint pink colour on the horizon. The sun rises later in winter, so I can see more of the morning colours. Then, for a moment I had no words as I saw the moon – bright, full – in the sky, contrasting in gre...

Personal and community web search engines

Ever since I made the first version of IndieWeb Search, a search engine that let you search personal websites, I have been thinking about the idea of “community search engines.” A community search engine indexes materials related to a specific community. The information sou...

Been Busy – What Happened During the Last Months?
