UPDATE - FINISHED!
08 Sep, 2009 | admin
Geesus christ! It took me about four days to update the whole system - with an averag of 5 hours of sleep.
But finally it is done ! And i am so glad about the result.
It's not just the compact design so that the whole page even would work on netbooks, but more the fact that i found a way how users can use the Mojocafe without needing to register their account.
Before it was like this:
Users registered and received a password. With this password they were able to login and their "mojo-playlist" was gathered from the database and loaded inside the device.
Now it is like this:
Users make a playlist of four mojos. These can be the same or simply just different ones. Each playlist is saved with an ID-Code. All that the user has to do now to get his personalized Mojo playlist is to enter this code as soon as he visits http://m.mojocafe.net with his device.
It sounds easier then it is but it looks like it is working out perfect.
The biggest advantages of it: people do not have to register and provide any personal information. I hate to offer any kind of information without knowing whom i am handing these out to.
So it was one of my biggest wishes to develop a solution for a registration-free service and i found it :)
About the personal information necessary for the Weather Mojos i also found a neat way that i am going to implement later on.
This is, that the user data is NOT saved in a database but inside a local cookie. So the personal userinfo is always kept at the proper device and not somewhere outside in the internet in a database.
Ok - i am tired now. Tomorrow is going to be a tough day but i will manage it.
I just have been inside the maemo.org IRC channel to inform the people about the update. I received nuttin but NOTHING. Only one mate seemed interested but the rest simply just do not care.
Do the *nix folks hate Flash that much? Weird.
