About TagTeam

Please see the github repository, which should do a pretty good job articulating what TagTeam does. A live demo is here.

Loosely Defined Ideas

  • Create more "importers" allowing for tagged item sets to be imported from many sources - Pinterest? Zotero?
  • Create a set of bookmarklets and a chrome extension to make feed auto-discovery easier.
  • Integrate the Devise authentication with facebook, twitter, google, etc.
  • Leverage the extremely flexible acl9 authorization layer to make TagTeam a truly social system - allowing Hub owners to delegate management of certain parts of their Hub to collaborators. There is a A LOT of room for growth here, in ways we've not conceived of.

Strictly Defined Ideas

  • Improve the json / rss / atom / xml API - specifically around the creation and management of ActiveRecord objects.
  • Create a jQuery mobile app that uses the improved API to create a super-fast UI for browsing Hubs, remixed feeds, and other parts of the TagTeam data.
  • Expose more of the sunspot-provided search power through a sweet ajax-y boolean/precedence focused search interface.
