I really like this. I've been working on my own personal search engine and might use a ux like this now. Question, how are you detecting whether the results are twitter posts/users and not random twitter pages (like the twitter career page for instance)? Also have you considered adding options to create this type of view for any page that has meta tags for title/desc/image and a logo?
jawerty, thank you for the encouragement! I appreciate it. Yes if you could use this UX somewhere that could be cool. It is kind of a new idea for website UX. It would be cool for a music player. For Twitter, I'm just using a simple url check pattern for now to trigger it. It isn't perfect, but works well enough for now: /^https:\/\/[a-z\.]*twitter\.com\/[^\/]+$/i Yes there are thoughts for even more column types lik…
Would love any feedback you have :)

I found the sideswiping way too sensitive on mobile: when I just want to swipe right once I go through two maybe three pages. To scroll right just once I need to make a concerted effort to swipe just the right amount.

Thanks for your response. Also that's cool you're probably right about meta tags open graph is broadly used but not uniform in their content. As for additional sites Stackoverflow and quora would be great additions.
I like this quite a bit. I'd consider using something like this if only because it doesn't have ads at the top (it's a low bar). Some comments: - it seems like the order of the columns is not consistent across searches? - I'm on the laptop and the columns extend past the edge vertically - I can scroll but it's not ideal. I expect this isn't a problem on a bigger screen. - personally I don't care much for the Amazon a…
Ok based on your feedback I changed it so Wikipedia is grounded as the 2nd column more, should help with preference and making it feel more consistent. Let me know if it feels better for you now. Wikipedia will still need to be 1 of the first 10 Google results to trigger the Wikipedia column though.
The dynamic columns based on search are cool. Not sure if you are learning from clicks, but that would be cool. Tradeview price data is cool, not sure if intentional or a nice side effect. Twitter results seemed to not be working, but I see they are there
I really like it. A few things: The dynamic columns based on search are cool. Not sure if you are learning from clicks, but that would be cool. Tradeview price data is cool, not sure if intentional or a nice side effect. Twitter results seemed to not be working, but I see they are there
Thank you for the encouragement and feedback!
Yes clicks would be cool. I could add that later if Swurl gets more click data.
Tradeview, you mean the stock price chart? Yes that is a widget we added.
Twitter results is actually done with a Twitter embed. Maybe you have some iframe blocking thing turned on? What browser are you using? It should work.
This is fantastic! Would be nice if other things could be added, e.g. Google shopping and so on. But I will try it for a week and see what I think of it.
I don't think Google shopping has an open API, if it did, would love to add that. Right now we do have Amazon and eBay, and will try to add more.
Yes we do want to add more relevant columns from other websites. Let me know if there are specific ones that would really help your searches.
Awesome you will try it for a week. Would really value your feedback, and will try to code any changes you would like.
