There was a little bit of downtime this evening as I upgraded some of the back-end database access to a new and improved object model. What does this mean for you, dear user? This means that in the next few days I expect to be able to add two of the most frequently-requested features:
- RSS feeds
- Viewing Random Unrated Haikoos
That first one will be really nice for those of you that use RSS readers, as you’ll be able to subscribe to the list of completed haikoos.
The second new feature will make it easier to browse haikoos that you’ve never seen before. The first time you click on it, you’ll be presented with a haikoo you haven’t smiled or frowned at yet. When you choose a rating for it, you’ll be moved on to the next one. And the one after that, and so on until you’ve seen them all. The next time you use that mode, you’ll be shown only the new ones (and they’ll be “new” because you haven’t rater them yet).
What other things can I add to make the site even better?
