Facebook app – for Let’s Mix
For Let’s Mix and a leading spirits brand I’ve developed a Facebook app to be displayed in a Facebook fan page tab.
A fun assignment, that turned out to be somewhat frustrating when I started to realize the limits of the Facebook API.
A Facebook app using FBML can include IFrames, and the app can also display the whole content in an IFrame if desired. The IFrame versions of the new and fancy social functionality can therefore easily be included, but put that same app in a tab on a fan page and this is no longer an option. All of a sudden the IFrames are gone.
Turns out that apps displayed in tabs can only use old style FBML. This is only the case for the specific combination of apps in tabs, but is still very frustrating when that’s exactly what you need to build. There are workarounds, through for example JavaScript, but to execute anything in JavaScript in this environment the user has to actively click something. No actions on load allowed. I hope that this is fixed by Facebook soon!
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.
Comments OffMac OS X widget – for ONE Media
Widget targeting art directors and people working with PR. It included functionality such as a lorem ipsum (dummy text) generator and tools for converting formats.
My mission was to implement the functionality wanted, using the design supplied.
