Social profile integration #70

Open HR opened 11 years ago

HR commented 11 years ago

With the APIs (specially google APIs) we could potentially have his user profile within the application (visible in sidebar/drawer) to enhance UX(user experience) with this, the user could share/post files to social networks(through the social app). The social integration is very important for a todays app and will increase our user base by a great percentage.

Yes, but lets ship 0.2 before we focus on this :)

Okay, time to hammer this concept out! Should we wait to have the online version of Firetext up before we do this? That way, the other people will be able to read/edit a doc from the link.

HR commented 11 years ago

The online version will a lot of tedious time (nodejs) and currently we need to get our API running for client side author intigration

ferndot commented 11 years ago

But what would be the purpose if nobody can even view the files?

ferndot commented 11 years ago

Also, we should probably do the back-end in something like Python. It is way more powerful (and supported by web hosts :wink:).

What about PHP?

ferndot commented 11 years ago

PHP is nice, but not really super powerful. Python is really powerful, and has a more logical behavioral pattern. http://www.quora.com/Python-programming-language-1/Which-is-better-PHP-or-Python-Why
