hwdb refers to the web application I am developing for LinuxMCE to provide a web accessible place to put hardware compatibility lists for things that work in LinuxMCE.
Basic UI principles:
- No deliberate page refreshes.
- Anything you drill down into, shows up right where you are, pushing other page elements out of the way.

Schema

hardwareentry
manufacturer_id integer model string description text mfgurl string wikiurl string workrating integer (1-5, 1 DOESN'T, 5 WORKS WELL) created_at date modified_at date acts_as_taggable
Items to show on the main screen
- Search Box, which expands to show newest entries.
- Recently Created Hardware Entries (10 newest entries)
- Recently Modified Hardware Entries (10 most recently modified entries)
- Add a New Hardware Entry
Partials
Partials refer to snippets of commonly rendered items across the application. The most common bit, being a hardware entry partial.
Hardware Entry
- Icon
- Name
- Rating (Both # and color)
Clicking on name, expands hardware entry to show:
- Description
- Manufacturer's URL
- Wiki Page URL
- Notes
- Attachments
More to come.
