Need to be able to filter by time.

There should be a way to filter by time. Harold had a mock-up involving a time slider. Will need to ask him about that.

Or actually, just need a way to group things by time on the page.

So...given a category, section it off by date/time...Today, tomorrow, next week, in two weeks, next month, later this year.

Dropbox\Design & UI\Webapp\Front Page\RailsWireframes copy.ai has an example of this.

I added "time" css classes for the events in this commit: 01a4153

All that needs to be done is to create filter toggle buttons to hide and display events based on these classes.

I'll work on the UI for this. Checkmarks for filtering categories and time. I'm thinking event details can show up as a pop-up?

[vivek-pai]

Oh, cool! Were you thinking of replacing the category nav with those checkmarks? If so, make sure it's just as bold since it's sort of the entry point.

You could do a onhover popup (but you'd have to watch for edge cases...like literally, make sure the popup doesn't go off the edge of the browser window).

Also, note that we kept the list of events constrained to a smaller horizontal space in order to decrease information overload...in our user testing, it was noted that if too many events were on the screen at a given time, it got to be too distracting. Be sure to keep this in mind if you decide to make major changes with the listing of those events on the main index page.
