Re: [dcphp-dev] WordPress Calypso

Jason, Another downside I can see of having it all hosted by WP is content ownership. There are certainly use cases where you would want full ownership of your content and not being handled by a 3rd party.

Re: [dcphp-dev] WordPress Calypso

This seems right to me, though I don't think it's necessarily going to not have an impact on the .org product. One of the big features they're promoting for the new .com is improved ability to manage all your self-hosted .org sites through the .com interface. I could imagine a future where they continue in that direction and the self-hosted product just becomes a thinner and thinner presentation layer...

Re: [dcphp-dev] WordPress Calypso

Probably also wanted some realtime socket communication. And PHP -- ReactPHP and Ratchet not withstanding -- isn't a great language / interpreter for that.

Re: [dcphp-dev] WordPress Calypso

One of the really attractive things about JS right now is the ability to build isomorphic apps, like calypso, that can run in the browser and on the desktop and on a server. It's a sign of things to come. PHP's real strength is on the server handling requests, there's just more overhead to doing this properly in node. We're in the process with our platform right now of creating a rich JS app that can run in browser, mobile, or...

Re: [dcphp-dev] WordPress Calypso

It's an enterprisey thing to do, but then wordpress.com is an enterprise and functions at that scale. Though it seems like Node does very little here, so I'm not sure why they went that route instead of PHP 5.6, which is very fast, especially since 7 will be even faster. Not like V8 is slow, but it's one less technology stack.I doubt .org will ever see it integrated beyond as an optional extension to Jetpack, since the whole...

Re: [dcphp-dev] Choosing from many Options

Amazon is another good model, especially for the desktop version. Remember that most people can only keep 5-9 options in mind at once, though if presented a large list they can select from them if that's the only task they have.This might actually be a good question for a UX group. Not sure if NoVA UX has a mailing list or allows messages on their forum, but that's a place to look. They're on Meetup.-SandyOn Nov 24, 2015, at 10:31...

Thanks to all. It seems I sparked interest in a different topic.I'm mostly interested in the client presentation rather than the back end management.

[dcphp-dev] Re: Choosing from many Options

If you are looking for user interface suggestions kayak.com has always been one of the best sites (in my opinion) at presenting a complex set of filters on both desktop and mobile (the site isn't responsive but it's easy enough make a responsive version by combining the two designs). They do a nice job of simplifying the criteria and hiding more complex options.Personally, I would try to avoid complex filtering unless your users...
