Out of Eggs, a web app built in ASP.NET MVC, jQuery & jQuery UI

I’m excited to announce outofeggs.com, a web app I’ve been working on for a while. It’s built on the techniques I’ve gone through in my Categorized Item List series (using ASP.NET MVC, jQuery & jQuery UI). Just create a list and see for yourself. The back end is SQL Server 2008.

It probably goes without saying that I could use any and all feedback: bugs that pop up, features you’d like to see, usability issues, etc. Also let me know if there’s any development-related aspects of the app you’d like me to share in a post that I haven’t covered yet.

    Great site; I'd love to learn how you did the styling for the "Loading" screens. That seems to escape me (but then again so do most things on the interface side).
  • Brad, it's using a jQuery plugin called BlockUI.

    Part of the reason for this was visual, but part of it was to block users from doing any editing in case of server/database lag while the list was loading.
  • Unfortunately, the BlockUI plugin does not work with jQuery 1.4 yet, at least not as of 1.4rc1.

  • Scratch that last comment. With the latest release of BlockUI and today's release of jQuery 1.4, the two now seem to work great together.
  • Congrats on the launch, Phil!
