Ankit's Weblog: FriendCompare, my first web app

  • AJ · 1 year ago
    I feel if you have time on your hands, do go ahead and create a Facebook app for FriendCompare. This will give your app an extra edge in terms of user base. (Just a thought).

    I feel the most important thing in that will be to control the API calls. I know it is not your fault that the app is slow. I am just saying that it will be a challenge to design something optimized for Facebook (which is slow as hell too).

    On the other hand, I am not sure how fast Orkut's base is. Never been an Orkut person. :)

    In all, I would say nice job done. Taking match-making to another level. LOL!

    I would love to create a facebook app for it.
    But time is the big Q. I have a couple of other ideas I would like to build on, so its a matter of selecting one which would be fun and at the same time provide something new.

    Yeah, slow apps are definitely not on :|

    doesn't work... :S

    @Kim Oh. It seems to be working alright for me and possibly for everyone else. I even tried it with your username, and it works.

    Perhaps, you could be a little more concise?

    the message "Error:
    Ahoy! Something went wrong! Make sure you entered the usernames correctly :)
    Click here to try again!
    Or Click here to see a sample comparison." keeps coming up. just the left side shows up

    Maybe you have discovered a bug :). What's your last.fm username?
  • Ankit · 1 year ago
    Bug fixed. @amaya you can start using the app now. Sorry for the inconvenience and thanks for letting me know of the bug :)

    I think creating application for site like facebook or myspace is something which can polish our programming skill a lot. You should go for Ajax because web 2.0 is the future of all the web. I know little bit of all but I am going to work in Ajax with my freedom of mind.

    @amaya Hmm... Seems to be working alright for me. Can you give me your's and your friend's last.fm username for which it isn't working?
