Fayimora: Yes, you are so on point. The privacy of users needs to be respected. For example, I would not want my activities on certain sections of Nairaland tracked and broadcasted. Users would be able to edit a privacy settings that gives the app certain permissions like sections/boards to ignore, specific topics to ignore, ability to prevent all/some users from getting your notification and other relevant privacy variables. As for the chat feature, the only privacy control I can think of at the moment is the ability to turn of chat for all or certain users. Thanks for bringing this up. |

@Fayimora oh yes that i know very much, i use Node on Ubuntu for creating Dojo Build Scripts, to be frank i feel more comfy using Node for CLI than Web,because i use PHP for CLI, but am not that strong in Node but thanks for that. |

I'm glad you understand @worldbest @pc_guru didn't know humans still used PHP in this century lol |

Fayimora: I'm glad you understand @worldbest PHP is old, no doubt, and it's rather slow on the uptake. But it really doesn't deserve one tenth of the slander you guys always lavish on it. @OP: This is brilliant! I would gladly fork and collaborate with you but my Node.js is fundamental at it's best! And, I agree that you should add a privacy setting, and allow users to block others from seeing them online or viewing their realtime activities. First level of the filter: maybe use the "followers" list. Second level, you can Allow or Deny some users from seeing you online or viewing your activities. Kudos, My eyes are on this one! b |

InesQor: Thanks bro, would be glad to have more contributors. Your suggestion on how to implement privacy is exactly what I have in mind. The first(beta) version will come with only chat, no concept of followers and privacy. But they will come in subsequent versions. I am adopting the Lean development methodology. |

after so much call & appeal for NL app, seems we are getting there now. Pls where would be chat "contents" logs resides? Dont let it be in members profile file on NL but individual email address. Also, strive & make the app as lite as possible. Pls dont forget the mobile version of the app, very very far important than... |

Orpelin: after so much call & appeal for NL app, seems we are getting there now. Chat logs/notification would be shown in the notification/ticker panel. It will be visible to some people(depending on privacy settings). The app has no way of modifying NL's contents. Mobile version ?...if evrything goes well, SURE! |

@Fayimora i don't want to deviate from this topic, but recently i have been feeling the need to make a jump to other languages, i do try C# / Nodejs from time to time, but what i can say, PHP puts money in my pocket for now. |
Re: Developing A Facebook-like Ticker For Nairaland by dpuzo: 2:07pm On Mar 17, 2013 |
For me i think you should start something new instead of tryin to add to nairaland or atleast get proper permission and get an api. Nairaland is ok the way it is, a forum. You can even send personal message if thats your problem. Too many features on a site is not good and in the end you lose the core feature just see facebook, always adding and removing features and now its boring. Just my opinion sha. |

Nobody is adding anything to Nairaland.If you are not using the extension, you won't get any extended features the app provides.Nairaland's core is not affected. I think this is something new even though the features that I am working own are not new or innovative. There are other ideas I would be exploring but first I need to create a sort of platform to test stuffs and see users reactions. |

Had some setback while working on the conversation bar (the place where open conversations show up). I kind of thought it was so simple and but my own implementation was so unstable. Sometimes new conversation don't show up, sometimes they do but are hidden and some other behaviours. Right now, I am reimplementing it more carefully. Hope to complete it tonight when I get home. |
Re: Developing A Facebook-like Ticker For Nairaland by Nobody: 5:23pm On Mar 18, 2013 |
I think the chat thingy should work with people you're connected with I.e people you follow and who follow you back and not just people you follow or those following you because then you will be having privacy issues. |

Brand_new: I think the chat thingy should work with people you're connected with I.e people you follow and who follow you back and not just people you follow or those following you because then you will be having privacy issues. Right now, I want to keep it simple. Everybody would see everyone online until a followership feature is added. Like I said in my post, the first version will lack a lot of necessary features. But they would be added over time. |
Re: Developing A Facebook-like Ticker For Nairaland by Nobody: 5:49pm On Mar 18, 2013 |
worldbest:Did you consider the fact that there could be several hundreds or even thousands of Nairaland members online at the same time? |

Re: Developing A Facebook-like Ticker For Nairaland by worldbest(m): 7:34pm On Mar 18, 2013 |
Brand_new: Yep, There would be a limit to the number of conversations you can have opened (totally not the best idea, but just a temporary measure to prevent people from getting overwhelmed). You would be able to turn chat off so no one can see you online. Nothing in the first version will be permanent. |

Re: Developing A Facebook-like Ticker For Nairaland by worldbest(m): 1:19pm On Aug 20, 2013 |
As usually, I get bored and stop working on stuffs and then find some probably lame reasons to justify it. Here are the reasons 1. Something else came up :p 2. Everyone is going mobile. Social plugins don't work there 3. Bad project management skills |

kennikazi: I taught myself programming. I started with C#. Back then I wanted to create a game like FIFA and an antivirus. I thought it was easy. I read a lot of tutorials and books, I never used videos like we all do now. Google has been good to me. |

worldbest:that would make the application more vast. It may be a tough algorithm but bound to work on other site. Just try to make it flexible |
