uberlook launched
As I previously mentioned, I have been anticipating the launch of Uberlook for months and the day has come! I am pleased already with the service. The resources are growing and so far they look great. It seems as though überlook is going to do everything they have set out to do, and looking good doing it.
If you have not already clicked the above link then I will just have to repeat myself! Check it out now!
They state their goals in their blog that they want you to “enjoy” using the site. I have and I think everyone will. Its simple, fast, usable, the design is modern and fresh, and it really is a central resource web developers should know about. With a tag powered search they have made it easier to find the resources you want quickly and easily.
Also fully functional features like the tag cloud, popular tags, and advanced search show the work that was put into the site to make it work, and work for you.
[UPDATE: They now have a great looking favicon!, this section is from my original post]
There are a few things I want to see come soon. A favicon! I will only temporarily put a website on my elite list of “one click away” websites. For the moment I have had to construct my own. I do not believe that I have any graphical talent, in fact I used to colors found on their website! I do feel that it will keep me happy until they come out with their own or if any readers send me their versions.
A tiny note, their form text fields and textarea expand far beyond the limits of the page in Firefox 2.0 and Internet Explorer 7. I tracked down the problem and it appears to be that the textfields have a size attribute set to 30 (<input type=”text” size=”30″ … />) making them unusually large for whatever reason. I have a quick CSS clip that I may turn into a Greasemonkey script to correct the website’s single blemish. Here is the single line of code to give the textfields and textarea a sufficient, controlled width:
input[type^=text], textarea { width: 50%; }
