I found out about TaDaList.com from Jim Weirich:
I just came across this one today, and its the real reason I started this blog entry. Wow, what a simple idea. And so beautifully executed. Notice the lack of submit buttons. Just start typing todo list entries, hitting a return to go to the next one. Finished a todo item and want to check it off? Just check the box no submit button needed to get the changes back to the database. Ta-Da lists uses XMLHttpRequest to interact dynamically with the host. Beautiful.
And to top it off, it is a Ruby-on-Rails application. Written in 579 lines of Ruby code, thats less than the size of the XML config files used in many J2EE applications. David is really showing off the latest features of Rails too.
I couldn't agree more. This is a great use of XmlHttpObject, and it shows off how to build simple web UIs. What a pleasure! You can even listen to your lists via RSS.
