Minor Updates to Mivami
It has been a while since I’ve added features to that site, but I think I’ll be making occasional changes now. Mivami looks at the people who interact on the Talmudic page, as well as their scholastic relationship. I last discussed the website here:
The Wordplay of Tovim Dadecha Miyayin
For a while now, my Talmud website, Mivami, has been down, but at a user’s request, I spent a little bit of time and updated the code so that it is up and running. The color highlighting and the graphs are all back, though the graph data in a somewhat iffy state and still needs more work.
Here are two that I’ve recently implemented, to achieve navigation.
In the past, you could:
look at the current day’s daf yomi
navigate immediately before and after that page, repeatedly
edit the URL to type in the tractate and folio name
Now, I’ve made modifications to the nav bar on the top. There is now a nested Talmud menu, which is organized by:
Order / Seder
Tractate / Masechet
Page / Daf
Depicted here, I chose Talmud, then Zeraim, then Berakhot, and finally 4a. Clicking on that would load that page.
Another navigation feature involves direct typing, but it uses the prefix of what you typed to narrow the field of possibilities.
Depicted, I typed Berakhot 4 and got these possibilities.
but when I typed “Be”, I got:
that is, all tractates that begin with “Be” as will as a history of prior visited pages.
Hopefully this navigation will make the site more useful.
