showcase, registry, gallery about htmlwidgets HOT 14 OPEN

Yes, that Showcase page definitely won't scale and is intended more as a
motivator to widget developers than as a comprehensive resource for end
users. Some type of lightweight gallery where we can list one and all would
be awesome.

While the current htmlwidgets showcase
http://www.htmlwidgets.org/showcase_leaflet.html, I'm not sure it will
be the best way to represent what I believe http://buildingwidgets.org
and hope to be an explosion of htmlwidgets. Possible related to #55
#55, but I thought a
couple great examples would be

1. d3.js gallery by @d3visualization
   http://christopheviau.com/d3list/gallery.html - Github repo
   https://github.com/biovisualize/d3visualization
2. d3.js site http://d3js.org/
3. biojs registry http://registry.biojs.net/#/ - Github repo

I will push one which can be updated via a Google Spreadsheet. We can provide developers with a Google Form to populate the spreadsheet.

@ramnathv any news on the Google Spreadsheet?

Thanks!

from htmlwidgets.

I should have it ready by end-of-week.

Here is my attempt:
http://jpmarindiaz.com/static/htmlwidgets-gallery/

It uses another htmlwidget I built (https://github.com/jpmarindiaz/isotope). It is still in very early stages but it works.

Feel free to contribute more examples and fill/correct this google spreadsheet.
https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1Ay95DIlVL4Yn5bsByqPq-VjKcjjlocRpsCg7tGb32VA/edit#gid=0

If you find it valuable it would be cool to include it in the htmlwidgets.org page

Cheers

@jpmarindiaz this looks like a great collection. I can't seem to edit the spreadsheet or upload to dropbox. But it would be nice to have rbokeh added to the list.

I'd also like to propose another mechanism to consider to deploy/organize this. Rather than a google spreadsheet + translation to html, one idea would be to host the page on github pages and use the jekyll yaml file to fill out a template of widget entries. To make it collaborative yet controlled we can handle new entries or edits through pull requests. Then the page would be automatically re-generated when new content is added and approved. That's one idea.

@jpmarindiaz Nice list!

FYI, I get a ton of error 503 from dropbox URLs when I try to visit http://jpmarindiaz.com/static/htmlwidgets-gallery/, and all the images and CSS are broken.

@hafen feel free to edit the spreadsheet, you should be able to edit it now.

Great idea I actually built the html with the isotope htmlwidget. Maybe we han have the gallery in the github pages of this package.

Here you can find the original data I collected. I figured I would go with the google doc to gather some initial data and then handle everything on the isotope package as an example.

@jcheng5 yes, there is something wrong with dropbox right now. I will move the images.

Great work! I would agree with @hafen that a github PR based mechanism would work better so that the page is auto-generated.

from htmlwidgets.

@jpmarindiaz I should have looked at how you are doing it - looks like you're already on the way to what I was suggesting! If it's useful I can make a quick mock up merging what you've done with jekyll.

If github is the way to go, @ramnathv, any suggestion on where repo with the gh-pages should be? I suppose it can be linked with any URL so it's probably not a big deal, but who has permissions to merge PRs, etc. is a consideration.

from htmlwidgets.

How about this? @ramnathv @hafen @jcheng5
http://jpmarindiaz.github.io/isotope/htmlwidgets-gallery/

Just go ahead PR the gh-branch in https://github.com/jpmarindiaz/isotope
There you can find the csv file with the list of the htmlwidgets I have spotted.
(or shall we use a yaml??? it is also there)

Just edit the csv file and re-generate the html as in:
https://github.com/jpmarindiaz/isotope/blob/gh-pages/htmlwidgets-gallery/htmlwidgets-gallery.Rmd

Just FYI (and sorry to be "that" guy) but the alignment is all messed up on
my phone (iOS).
