Drag-and-drop sortable and animated accordion menu

This is the illustration of sortable lists by drag and drop in combination with expandable/collapsible animated accordion.

Animation, some event handling and some object access are based on Yahoo! UI Library.
Accordion menu implementation idea was taken from here.
Core drag and drop function is dom-drag.js. About it you can read here. It's been used as is.
I also used some ideas from here. This page uses dom-drag.js as well.

Here is my demo of the result I've got.

It features:

  • Grip for drag-and-drop.

  • Save/retrieve state (expanded or collapsed) and order of bars in cookies.

  • MS Internet Explorer and Mozilla Firefox similar behavior.

  • Customizable: allowMultipleExpand, expandAllOnload.

  • Pure javascript implementation.


If I'm not get lazy I'll publish the documentation and API.
Regards,
Eugene

Conceptual design

Consider this post is about visual design. A duct taped banana. This piece of art was sold for $150,000 in December 2019 at Miami's Art Basel . Actually $120K x 4 + $150K = $630,000. Not bad for 10 cents banana and few inches of duct tape. This became a sensation of 2019-2020. Why and how it happened brings up some questions about modern society and economy. How artists (or art dealers, or anyone else) create value from nothing? And emphasize the importance of the idea. In this particular case it's nothing more than an idea. Is this the art we'd like to see? Probably not. But perhaps it's the art we deserve.

Using Trello and Confluence to manage UX design project. Part 1

Image
This is part One. Part Two is here . Introduction. “ Describe your design process ”. It’s a typical interview question for UX designer position. User-centered design process indeed has defined set of steps. In theory. On the practice though, the adherence to these steps depends on many factors, such as communication and execution skills, practical experience, ability to influence people, being leader and influencer, and at what level your organization is a design driven org. So many businesses are not ready to adopt the design practice, and to place the design before the development. Or simply there is not time or budget to go through all steps. Here in Herbalife the UX Design team accepted Norman Nielsen group philosophy:   Empathize – Define –Ideate – Prototype – Test – Implement .  However the   interpretation of the practical tasks can differ dramatically in different organizations. Here what we currently do: Design Thinking and Agile Any project, which goes t

How do I use InVision

Image
Team lead asked me to write what InVision products do I use, how I use them, what are pros and cons. I wrote it today, and really think it will be helpful to share my thoughts with wider audience. So, below is the adaptation of what I provided to the engineering management in one fintech company.  I use InVision to share my hi-fi designs and specs, which I create in Sketch desktop application. This is my primary and every day usage of InVision, and about 90% of all usecases of all InVision products combined.  I sync designs via the plugin in Sketch made by Invision, called Craft .  When they are in InVision, we call those designs prototypes .  It works, but I often experience slowness. Sometimes sync process is failing, and I have to try it again. In Sketch I select one or more artboards, then initiate sync, which sends the artboard to InVision cloud. I have to be logged in Craft plugin with my InVision credentials. Almost every day, especially when I design intensely and re-publish
