dria: Best Web demos?

  • Zach · 2 years ago
    I really like how Farecast ( http://farecast.com/ ) refines the display of searches for flights. Perform a search and then on the resulting page modify the results that should be displayed with the side bar on the left. The main result list is immediately rendered to reflect the new paramters.

    I did some brief calculations and found that it's about 47 scillion times nicer to use than the terrible search interfaces that have you start over, after having forgotten your initial parameters, to refine a search.

    I don't know how the authors of every other flight search interface in the world sleep at night.

    Not Firefox (or Fx 3.0) specific, but Google's Gapminder is quite brilliant: http://tools.google.com/gapminder/ So much data condensed into a relatively easily digestible package. Looking forward to seeing your list of demos!

    This is about the most ridiculous web demo I've made, http://wellington.thursdaynightcurry.com/?cloud...

    It's all XHTML, CSS, and JS. You can resize the panels onscreen (move the mouse between the panels and drag), shoot the tag clouds that drift across the page, and engage in conversation with the worlds worst worst chatbot.

    video won't be in FF3 (will it?) but if it were, http://www.bluishcoder.co.nz/2007/08/svg-video-... . And the original image one linked from there is still interesting.

    Matthew, consider using APNG for the explosions! ;-)

    I like this demo from Access Firefox.

    I find this one simply amazing: http://worldofsolitaire.com/

    All DOM, CSS and JS.

    For some reason a tad slow on my Mac SeaMonkey build right now, but it was quite fast when I played it using Firefox (2.0.0.?) on my slower Linux box.

    I wrote a few demos:

    Try the fractal trees:

    L System:
    http://teethgrinder.co.uk/canvas/l-system-1.html

    and the bouncing sperm:
    http://teethgrinder.co.uk/perm.php?id=133

    All canvas demos. I wish IE would hurry up and support some cool technologies. I wrote all these years ago.

    The OneTeam Instant Messaging client is to my knowledge one of the most advance web application taking advatange of Firefox feature. It works on Firefox 2 and 3.
