Ongoing Code Banter

I’ve nearly forgotten about the blog/news portion of melative.com. With only myself, my main priority has been the data+application layer of the platform. It’s time for a list of happenings…

Data Layer

  • id/synonym sets have been partitioned into media, user, creator, character
  • image tables have/will be partitioned
  • synonym structuring has been altered, and without triggers, it is using auto id temp. tables
  • variations are migrating to bb form fields (as seen with meta/standards)

Application Layer

  • API is functional, and a Javascript wrapper has been built*
  • TODO: web interface needs to access API for certain fields
  • TODO: test less accessed areas for bugs
  • TODO: bug checking in general

Presentation Layer

  • Firefox extension is in alpha (like everything melative)
  • Media pages are displaying meta/synonym/standard/image data
  • TODO: Listings and table-like pages need to use tables
  • TODO: CSS is still a mess

Business Layer

  • DEV: simple blog design is in the works
  • DEV: melative.com front index
  • DEV: footer resources
  • TODO: document API and database structuring (I’m terrible)

This may be incomplete, but it’s hard to keep track of “management” topics while developing. As always, if anyone out there wishes to help, join #melative on freenode and look for MrDev (or MrRyan).

Registration should be functional, but with underlying database changes, this needs checking. Ah, development woes.

*API is also accessible via http://melative.com/api/ on calls
