So youmeo...

[Funya Chin]

Nothing amazing, but just a start. Opinions?

Note I'm not related to the youmeo team in anway.

That's the sort of thing I expected.

Youmeo needs more fading and more javascript things that don't use any framework. Frameworks suck.

We only mainly use the jQuery framework for xmlhttp requests and stuff and script.aculo.us for a few effects here and there.

The frameworks don't slow down the site that much/enough to notice, so the way we're using them at the moment is fine for the visitors.

Yeah cunning, we had a few issues when the site opened with the transition between the beta site databasea and the old one. Though, I think all the db related on-site errors have been fixed now.

So an application? If so, that sounds like a pretty nice idea, but I'm not sure if the team would be up for making one and if we'd have the time. But I know that Nick has been working on an iPhone application for the web store, so if you have an iPhone - keep an eye out for that

Do you guys run on MyISAM or InnoDB... or something else?
Whats the database structure (nothing too detailed), jw?

Why? Why not use a much simpler way of accomplishing something. It can take days to do something that jQuery could do in seconds. I use it for most of my stuff, and then scriptaculous for some effects, and right now I'm thinking about checking out mootools.

You'd have to ask Nick for that information as I'm not sure if we're/I'm allowed to - so I don't want to risk it

Just don't mix Scripatculous and Mootools.

I would much rather use a Prototype based framework, always. jQuery comes in handy once in a while.

For me it's jQuery's ease of callbacks, like you can make really good looking Ajax stuff, really easily, it's so simple like:

ajaxReq:function(data_str, url_str, type_str) {
$.ajax({
type: type_str,
url  : url_str,
data: data_str,
success: function(msg) {
//some crazy animation
}
});
}

That there is pretty self-explanitory, but just a quick mockup to show people who haven't used jQuery, how easy it is.

or just do

            new Ajax.Request('page.php', {
                method: 'get',
                onSuccess: function(transport){
                    alert(transport.responseText);
                }
            });

Lol, mootools, are you serious? They're good for somethings but scriptaculous pwns it.
