There’s a first for everything, and today I launched my first Facebook application. It’s an interesting idea, and the premise is simple: Strendr takes the keywords from your status message and displays them in a cloud format (think tag clouds for blogs). The execution was on a “good-enough” level; the entire thing took about 60 hrs of work, including all the research. I wasn’t surprised by the wealth of documentation and information available for the developers – it explains why there are so many applications out there.
Next steps for my application include refactoring and cleanup. Working on the eve of Jesus’ birthday doesn’t promote good coding standards. I will also look into user experience and documentation. My UI has been made to be as friendly and uncluttered as possible, but I believe that the content could be worded better and with more consistency. Of course, there’s also a social-viral component of the app that must be nurtured. There is a “Trends” page that tracks the usage of keywords amongst all users of Strendr, and it will need to be presented in a way so that users will want to send app invites.
If you have time, check out my Facebook app, Strendr!
Thats one of that submit which it really is worth to bookmark. Definitely fantastic submit.
