March 20, 2014 at 20:20We collect the best in the collection and share with others
One of the most recent changes we added to Likeastore is collections. Collections are an easy way to combine “likes” into a logical group. What we did and what we plan to do with it, we read further.
Looking through my Likeastore every day, I began to pay attention that just the stream of likes and the ability to search for them is not enough to effectively use the information. It would be cool to have something in the form of a tag and if the like belongs to a certain category - “Node.js / Javascript”, “TDD / practices”, “Beautiful / Interesting”.
We consider 2 types of collections - open and closed. Closed collections, your personal ones and no one except yourself has access to them. Open collections, on the contrary, can be accessible to all users, even those who currently do not have an account in Likeastore. Such collections will collect information that you want to share with the whole world.
At the moment, we have implemented only the concept of closed collections, but very soon we will add open collections.
A new “New collection” button appeared in the side menu when you click on it, you can enter a name, description and type of collection.
Now on each card there is a button “Add to collection”, when the cursor is above it, a list of all collections will be visible. Very simple.
Why is this needed?
