For what it's worth, I find the web interface incredibly clunky. There has been a lot of advancements in browser web app technology, but the web UI doesn't take advantage of much or any of them.
I recognize building a web UI that works cross-platform is challenging (I do this all day long) but it'd be nice to see the UI updated with better handling of state changes and updates. The whole page shouldn't have to refresh just to save a preference, for example, and the player UI itself is in serious need of updating. My biggest issue with the web interface is it's very, very slow, especially for something being delivered over the local network. Adding in some more current web app technology (AJAX for some of the page-to-server interactions, for example) would really help. I look at it this way: the SBS web UI is basically my own, heavily personalized version of music sites like 'Rdio' (http://rdio.com/) or 'Grooveshark' (http://grooveshark.com/). It'd be nice to see a refocusing and updating of the UI more in this direction. -- neilio ------------------------------------------------------------------------ neilio's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=8456 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=87813 _______________________________________________ beta mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/beta
