I noticed some concepts in Qedy ain't right. For instance, I always perceived Modal window as a separate entity, but in fact it's just bit more complicated QView. This also once again confirms, that my choice of just four component types (elem, form, list, view) is indeed sufficient.
Similar problem was with various frontend perks, like content prefetching or smooth scrolling. I added prefetch to an ordinary QList as f_prefetch feature and I created some extensions (“plugins”) for QView_Page.
I've just started a blog and a wiki. Wiki is rather formal and serves as a documentation as well, while blog is going to be more informal and less technical. I plan to share my ideas, thoughts, future plans and current progress here, maybe some feature sneak peeks or backstage info.
Feel free to join the project on Facebook, Twitter or GitHub and stay tuned.
I kept writing blog posts here and there in the past, even knowing my readership usually consists just of me and some web crawlers :) But it helps me to sort thoughts, remind stuff and such. And even those posts may sound like product promotion, I write them mostly to try to inspire others and share my accomplishments, because I'd say I'm a bit nonconformist.
So, what so special em I talking about? Well, QetriX is a result of my long-term desire to create an ultimate yet simple semantic data platform. My niche are basically CRUD apps and after couple of years (and some dead ends) I created the final design.
Particle is an elementary data unit and a foundation of the platform. Every particle has certain properties, which allows to classify them into entities and specify their attributes or relations between them. In fact, it's a different approach to RDF, utilizing ER model (I created my own paradigm, but it was hard to explain the idea, so I moved towards better known stuff).
I started QetriX Particle Database even although there are quite a few online structured knowledge bases already, such as Freebase (incl. derived projects, like Wikidi), Yago, DBpedia, Wikipedia (esp. Wikidata) or even Wolfram|Alpha, but none of them allows or encourages to file insignificant entities, like local businesses, groceries etc. Or they were hard/unfriendly to use. I saw a hole on the market, which I was able to fill – even if it would be just for my own needs.
I'll go under the hood in some of my future posts; I don't want to shoot out all my ammo right away ;-)
