I've been wondering for some time now about how to filter a post feed using combinations of labels, like if I want articles about Usability that are also about Windows. I've been thinking of categorizing each of my posts according to which audience they're written for, so that people can filter my other categories by the audience as well.
I've seen this in user interfaces before, but I need to learn the terminology so I can continue my research.
In the meantime, I discovered an easy point of access: The URL itself. Google built some logic into these URLs:
So this link will bring up a feed of articles that have a combination of three different labels
All I need to do is find some Javascript to make the label buttons correspond to what's in the URL, and also affect it when they get toggled on or off.
For the interface, I want to essentially have the functionality of groups of radio buttons and checkboxes that we see in desktop operating systems and advanced searches.
I don't feel like this is a big enough task to require advanced javascript libraries. I just need to be able to add and remove a series of labels from the URL.
