    What might make this thing more useful?

    * More examples, like four or five per pattern?
    * High-level “workflow” patterns, e.g. quick change/view cycles, search refinement, side-by-side comparisons, undoability?
    * Discussions of implementation issues?
    * More of the same?

    Yes, more examples would be good, to emphasise that these patterns can be found in the wild, and that they do solve real problems.

    More importantly though: define the forces and constraints that lead to the problem, and define the consequences good and bad of applying the pattern.
