Extended Hiatus

I haven't worked on kaPlurk! for quite some time and, unfortunately, for longer. I've been very busy with my day job, and I'll be on vacation next week! =D

Anyway, Here's a list of stuff I thought I'd better prioritize:

• Mobile number verification


• Post the first part of a long, concatenated SMS as a plurk, and post succeeding parts as replies


• Post Twitter updates


• Hide automatic update feature from public use and maybe only offer it to my friends. Because I realized a few months ago how bad an idea it was, when I saw it looked so spammy.

That's all for now! =)

TO DO List for 2009-09-14

Posting

• Posting via SMS -- the app's original purpose
• I plan to make use of the Globe Labs SMS API
• I already bought a Globe SIM for this
  
• I'm planning to use Kannel as SMS gateway software
  

Message Pool

• Pagination of messages -- won't be needed until the pool grows sufficiently large
• Sorting of messages

Miscellaneous

I found an error in the logs that says messages can't be multi-line.  My options:

• change those textareas into regular text fields,
• strip newline characters upon submission,
• all of the above
  

I also have to remember to consider the quotas of Google App Engine and Globe Labs SMS API.

I'm still not sure if I should show my friends my source code.  I'm pretty sure it isn't as elegant as I'd want it to be..  :p
