After seeing myFeedz and looking through the API, I figured I'd build something visual out of it, and this Tag Viewer is what came out of it. Some of the features include:
- Tag cloud and related post visualization
- Favorite tag list
- Tag search function that continually updates with tags
- Drag scroll UI
For me, the most interesting aspect was the drag scrolling and experimenting with different ways to scroll things horizontally and vertically. I've started to port it over to Flex, however, the one big obstacle I ran across was trying to get drag scrolling to work with existing containers (unfortunately, when you turn off the scrollbars, you also lose the ability to set V and H scrollPosition).
I noticed that the api urls tend to be quite slow in returning data (not sure exactly of the reason), so it's not as zippy as it could be. Also, the api really is currently limited to fetching tag clouds and posts, so it doesn't do everything that you can do through the myFeedz site.
Give it a try!
