Any feedback on my app: Create PDF album from your photos

Posted by redpill27 on Saturday October 29, 2011 @11:40AM
from the self-post dept.

It is a lean project I have been hacking on in my spare time. The app is a result of learning new (to me) technologies - backbone, celery, django-piston.I'm not sure if the app is useful or if it solves some real problem in its current state. I would appreciate any feedback and ideas to iterate on.Link: http://images2pdf.comYou can use this registration code: FORHN150D

This should be fixed now.

Well, the Google Chart API actually supports JS-based interactive charts: http://code.google.com/apis/chart/index.html

However, I use the static image version + <map> since the JS version of the scatter chart is missing some features (no alpha channel, fixed marker size).

I have just updated the http headers the server sends. Please, could you check now?

Most likely the problem is with parsing the date string. I can fix it if anyone knows which Date string format Safari 5 supports.

The point values are available through the search API (except the last five days).

For me it was switching the development environment to emacs -nw (terminal mode) and GNU screen a few years ago. This lets me work from anywhere using just ssh and a decent terminal emulator.

There is an 'Include comments' checkbox which does exactly this.

I'm aware of the copyright issue. The app is free and is intended for personal use only so I hope copyright owners mostly won't mind.

Anyway, if someone complains that his/her site is included I will remove it.
