NEW FEATURES!
Remote List Display: You can see an example of this on the front page of this site. I've put the lists for my favorite shapes and my favorite golf balls in the middle of the page.
To do this yourself, you can now drop a few lines of javascript onto any html page on any site and you'll see a view of that list on that site. This is great for when you want to have something like a sortable and pageable list on your blog or on your own site.
To learn how to do that, just go to any one of your lists and click the [Click for instructions.] link that's near the top of the page.
Filtering: It's now possible to construct full boolean filters to display lists. For instance, you can create a filter that will only show presidents after 1942. The absolute coolest part of this is the filter editor I've made. Let me tell you that html forms do not make this sort of thing easy. I'm very proud of the end result I've accomplished here. Regardless, it's definitely an advanced user feature. I'm still going to have to make a basic version of this for average users.
You can see your own filters and create new ones by clicking the "View Your Filters" link in the navigation bar on the left side of the page.
Dynamic Views: In the past, it was necessary to construct views by indicating which columns you wanted displayed. I've eliminated that step as a requirement. Now a view automatically includes all columns that apply for all objects in that list. So if you have a list that includes dvds and golf balls then all columns that apply to those two object types will be included in the view.
Tags: It isn't a full tag implementation. When clicking on tags it just does a search on that text. However, eventually I will add a full Lucene search capability that I'll use to do real tag searches.
New Site Skin: I'm no html designer, so I can only do so much, but I decided to try and reskin the site a little bit. The only major issue I still have is that the header of the site just doesn't look slick enough. I'll see what I can do about that.
