Announcing ... rela.tv!

I’ve been tinkering away on a little side project called rela.tv for quite awhile now. The basic concept is that it will let you visualize and organize your relationships.

“Relationships” is a loaded term, but in this case it means any relationship that can be defined in the terms of a hyperlink. With the foundation of the XFN class of relationships this can be any one of a number of pre-defined personal relationships. But rela.tv goes one step further and lets you define your own types of relationships.

It’s like tagging your links with real-world relational values.

No more explanation. Check it out and keep in mind it’s still very raw and is likely to look like poop on anything but Firefox… Hit me with any feedback you have!

    Hey, lookin' nice! This is a pretty clever little app. It'll be interesting to see how this grows. Well done! I'm gonna have to pick your brain about how you generated that little relationship graph image sometime... :-P

    Jeremy, the relationship graph is one of the poorer features of the app but one with a pretty high ceiling... just a matter of how much time I can find to grow the feature... Suggestions are welcome!

    Nice. What test you are using for testing ajax form and other?

    timurv - testing? Hah! This was literally the first Rails I ever wrote and my test coverage shows. I am not very proud of the codebase though the finished product seems workable.

    Juice10 - great to hear about Safari. That's definitely luck over design though.
