Despite that fact that I almost missed the expo complete, both being pretty busy and not really knowing about it, I did make it today to see what’s going on. I did a quick browse through the exhibition hall and talked to a few good people from all the corners such as Yahoo Developers group, Nokia and a few other startups.

This afternoon, I’ll be attending two sessions: ‘Create a Social Network - It’s Easy!’ and ‘ADobe - RIA Applications and the Web.’ Both being roughly 50 minutes and should be extremely interesting. I might post about it during or after each sessions.

So I am working on incorporating a tagging system into Orange. The first of the few basic tags would be Home, Play and Work. Not sure if I want to add more of have users add their own. It’s definitely work a look. Below is a quick walkthrough of the preliminary tagging system.

Let’s have a look at the selection screen:








It uses a simple drop down selection menu where you can choose pre-made tags. When you add the task, the JavaScript will do the rest in adding the tag to the task in the list below it. Not much room in here for creating your own tag, but will see how to implement it.

Tags in the list:

The screenshot above, shows a left-aligned tag system. Which links each task to its own tag in a more straight forward way. The other layout, below:

In this screenshot, the tags are right-aligned. This layout creates a more cleaner look for each individual task, but the problem occurs with a person easily connected a task to its tag.

No I’m not talking about the fruit, although it’s always good to have a glass of fresh orange juice. Orange is a small task or to-do list editor. It’s the first of many applications to be released under the ’simple’ brand (more information coming soon).

Orange goes back to basics of creating a task list. No registration required because it doesn’t save the information into a database. Instead, the task list is powered by javascript and css (and obviously xhtml) to provide you with a fast and simple interface. You do have options to import a list (copy/pasting) and exporting a list to a .txt file.

So visit Orange and tell me what you think.
