Remedie runs as a web server but its philosopy is to build a desktop-app-like experience using web browser's functionalities with jQuery extensions. This weekend I was working on some small but important UI enhancements to get close to the goal.
The first is that you can now drag and drop channels in the channel list view to change the order of channel list. The way it works is so straightforward, but take a look:
This is implemented using the new jQuery UI 1.7 and when you change the order the app will sync the order back to the server asynchronously so the next time when you load Remedie app the order will still be preserved. Yeah, the next thing I'd like to do is a folder support and drop channels to the folder :)
Another enhancement is to filter channel and items in the list view. The filter works as an incremental search, so it filters out the items as you type. This would be handy if you add the local folder as a channel and list items only matching with specific title.
In the channel list view, the filter matches with channel titles, and in the channel details view, it matches with item title and desription (if any).
These new UI features are added and released in 0.4.1. Try it out with github master.
