Hi all, I'm basically interested in hosting my own "Netvibes"-like site. It's actually for a client, not myself. That aside, my first inclination was to use RoR to manage the items/content and incorporate Javascript widgets for display, but I'm having a time wrapping my head around where to begin.
I was thinking basically that I'd create a table (and corresponding model) for each service I intended to support. For instance a table for GMAIL, RSS FEEDS, YAHOO MAIL, etc. Then, for each user that desired one of those items, I'd save their info to the corresponding table (if they so desired) and let them proceed. The main issue at that point is designing and presenting corresponding draggable-droppable (like JS-based) "widgets" on their homepage for them to customize to their delight. Not only would I need to display them, but likely I'd need to save window positions, etc. . . . . .that's about where my brain explodes. If anyone has any suggestions and perhaps a few kick-start links they could suggest, I'd be most appreciative. Thanks in advance!
