A blog of aggregated miscellanea and things I like uncovered from my daily travails. I'm @jacobjay, a peripatetic designer/developer of British persuasion, having interests in gastronomy, fashion, technology, interiors and sustainability. I'm currently living between New Delhi and France, working on a Lua web platform and e-commerce. I dig Macs, mountain biking and smelly cheese.
Hybrowse is an elegant way to browse the huge quantities of stuff on sites such as Etsy, using simple category (tag) filters by drilling-down through them—from most common to least. With no interface crud, you may only add or remove categories to narrow or widen the scope of items shown, serendipitously limited to a single page of results. If there’s less items than this, you can be sure you’ve found a niche!
I’ll look forward to seeing more sources, merged results across sources, and perhaps even top categories trawled from current trends, my interests, or my network—that would be nifty.
