Nellad – for Sydsvenskan @ Josh
Nellad was a video community for teenagers in the Skåne area of Sweden. The Swedish newspaper Sydsvenskan wanted to have a youth community and the goal was to get all kids playing in garage bands to have their bands on Nellad. In the beginning the site was popular, thanks to a band contest arranged by Sydsvenskan, but after the contest was over, the interest dropped. Nellad couldn’t compete with the larger sites with similar functionality, such as MySpace, and is now closed down.
In this project I implemented most of the functionality, customizing the XCAP modules to work for Nellad, trying to make the front-end coders’ work as easy as possible. I handled releases and servers and built functionality to make existing content from Sydsvenskan and cms content seamlessly integrate with the community.
Comments OffExpressen Nöje – for Expressen @ Josh
Nöje is the more relaxed part of the Swedish newspaper Expressen. It has a community where users originally could find events in an eventcalendar that imported events from the ticket booking site Ticnet. They could also “own” celebrity pages and write reviews about for example movies.
I was part of the team that built the front-end for Expressen Nöje, and I also built the functionality for the eventcalendar and the review engine in the community platform XCAP, on which the community is built.
Comments OffFejmTV – for TV4 @ Josh
FejmTV was a video community for teenagers, where the users could upload their own movies and leave comments.
Unfortunately, with sites like Youtube out there, the community didn’t manage to keep the target group interested enough, so the site is now closed.
FejmTV was one of my first projects at Josh, in which I was a member of the front-end team.
