Thanks. Didn't know about this one. I've been using Woorkmark's plugin (http://www.wookmark.com/jquery-plugin), but Masonry seems to have more features. Will be trying it out.
It might not be possible, but I would love to see this website scaling so fast it would become the place for cat pictures, hence forcing all social media back to doing some public good.
I feel like this would benefit from infinite scrolling. Having to stop and paginate gives me too much time to evaluate just what I'm doing with my time.
This a great start, I think there's definitely something here.
I think the biggest issue right now is just making the experience of browsing more dynamic. Endless scroll would help make it easier to see more cats faster, but I'm not sure that's enough.
One thing to think about would be making the cats able to be tagged, so we could browse categories.
Somehow, an extra level of engagement needs to come in. As hideous as that kittenwar.com site is, I end up wanting to stay there longer and I end up seeing more kittens because the game aspect keeps me interested.
It would be nice to have next / previous / random buttons on the detail pages.
I tried to add a couple pictures, and they haven't shown up on the "newest cats" page (and yes, I'm sure I'm not just looking at a cached version). If that's by design, it would probably be a good idea to display a message to that effect after a picture is added (I just got the blank "add a cat" form after submitting my pictures).
Yes, they both had titles (something like "My cat is not a Twilight vampire" and "Holly and Thunder on a sunny afternoon". One other thing that might be relevant is that they were both PNGs.
