Using Jev as a router to build a fluid Google Search experiment
After trying TypeSafe's Jev as a router in a project, the author applied it to the frontend to build a fluid Google Search UI experiment where a matching interface pops up as you type.
A small experiment with Google Search Making fluid UI easier to visualize through something we already use. After trying @TypeSafe’s Jev as a router in one of my projects, I wanted to try it on the frontend too. Then I came across ShapeShift, an open-source fluid interface by @anishfn. I thought it was pretty cool. The interface changes based on what you type. I wanted to try that idea on something familiar. @Google Search felt like a good place to start. It already has custom interfaces for specific searches, which help make the results useful. So I built a small experiment. As you type a query, a matching interface pops up. ShapeShift’s / menu for discovering tools, and its widgets that respond to what you type, helped shape it. It’s nowhere near as detailed or polished as Google’s actual UI. But I thought using a service billions of people already know could make fluid UI a little easier to visualize.
