Heyy, :)

www.quotesgenerator.com

A quick little project to be honest, going to play with Javascript as oppose to PHP but.. it's up and running now :)

How can I improve, I know the designs terrible, I just wanted something that was quite simplistic!

[Gibs960]

Maybe get some pictures :)

[Fehm]

No need for it really tbh! :P Pictures of what? :P

[Gibs960]

I dunno, maybe a picture of the person whom quoted it...

[Fehm]

I don't fancy going through over 5,000 authors ;)

[lPinoy]

I don't think theres any need for pictures as its the quotes we should be interested in but the site looks cute, and a great selection, well done.

[Muct]

Really good, how many quotes actually are there?
I'll be searching through this for like the next week LOLOL

According to the thing on the top, theres 17,000 I think.

A good selection, too.

[Nixt]

That looks really good. It's good to have a simple design. Perhaps also have a separate search function?

[Fehm]

I'm developing the search function now aha :) I was going to list authors but theres more than 5k of those :|

I may do like popular authors down the side.. Hitler and crap :)

Thanks for the comments guys!

[Nixt]

Also maybe do a category system. Perhaps random generated quotes according to a category you select... quotes on life, death, philosophy etc etc.

[Fehm]

Yh, problem is... The only thing stored in the database is like Quote and Author soo doing that would mean having to put all 17,000 into a category! :P

or just hoping a lot of them have the word Death, Life in them etc :P

Create a basic list of categories, add a link under the quotes that need categorising that lets the user choose where to put it.
It's a slightly flawed idea, but it saves you having to do all 17,000 by yourself :)

[Fehm]

Hmm, I'll consider it

[HotelUser]

If you'd like to make it a little more JavaScript oriented you could always do a PHP backend, with javascript JSON calles using JQuery :)

[Fehm]

I've always struggled with Javascript tbf, but it's always been an aim to make it more user friendly aha, I'll look into it!

[Mr-Trainor]

Very nice Callum :P It does what it says and although the layout is basic, it looks great imo :)

[Fehm]

ta :) Added a basic search bar. Working on a new design

Bit of an update: I got over 500 UV's yesterday!?!?!?!?!

LOL :P

I'm crap when it comes to designing -.-

[,elaboratedolls]

Its awesomezz:D but I think you should brighten up the website a bit eh? its a bit dull atm.

[Fehm]

Yh Yh :) That will happen aha :)

Purely a framework for myself at the moment :p
