So I am working on a domain portfolio grid script - primarily out of a need for one myself. Once it is further enough along, I will most likely be releasing it as open source.
The general gist of it is that it will be a jquery-based grid script that loads domains and their templates (for how to display them) via json. The templates are simple jsrender templates so that it is very extensible with the json domain objects - i.e., you can add any number of fields to the domain object and have them appear on the template. The goal is to be very flexible and extensible. Of course, a lot of that depends on your knowledge of css and basic html.
Here is a simple example I have set up with some of my domains:
http://domains.codeforge.net/brandables/
And here is the JSON file:
http://domains.codeforge.net/data/domains.json
The code already supports images, but this example doesn't use any. I am just using Google fonts in the CSS to produce the fancy fonts. I still need to add in a lot more advanced abilities like a sorting/inquiry form/buy now link, but those are really dependent on the outer application (not just the grid script).
I may also expand this project to include a basic asp.net or php site with an admin for those who are less technically inclined - but some CSS/HTML knowledge will probably still be the best.
I was hoping to get some feedback on how it is looking so far and your thoughts on my plans. Also, if there are features that people would like to see, I would love to hear about them!
Thanks so much!
