""I just hope the end product comes up to everyones reasonable expectations and is worth the wait. "" lol. .. Funny.
X3 DEVELOPMENT
I feel that there should be priority of the CORE. Then let that go to beta and be tested and tested. Whilst doing that for 1-2 months, build all your additonal features. I hope you do have a road map, as trying to do everything at once will just lead to delays.
Ask yourself: "What is your goal?" Answer: To create a new simple up-to-date HTML5 Gallery to be the CORE of ImageVue X3. Now Quick! Grab a pen and write that down for me.
Make the ENTIRE web application modular. So you can turn features off/on that you couldn't in x3. It goes without saying, that it would be A LOT easier to manage (and develop) several smaller components, rather than ONE MAMMOTH GALLERY with its features etcetera. So building the final product is not what is important. It is building an X3 GALLERY and then once created, develop and add your modules and extensions on afterwards.
Just like Joomla, Wodpress, Mambo, and every other eCommerce and CMS platform. They all take a modular approach. ...
I really feel a "X3 Gallery Only" should be coming out soon as it has been a year. We don't need garbage and rubbish like Facebook and Twitter (to begin with). Just make it a simple up-to-date HTML5 Gallery
- 1. A standard theme (front/back).
- 2. HTML5 front/back + pre-loading etc. (There are dozens of free / paid scripts you can copy ideas off here!
hehehe J/K) and
- 3. Create an Extension platform for things to be added.
Hooks and API's - whatever you choose, just make it dynamic and pleeeeease hurry up and release a "basic cut-down X3 Core" to your incredibly patient and devoted customers!!!
So in summary, why don't you guys forget Facebook, Twitter, Digg, and everything that can wait. Focus on the CORE so that it can be rigorously tested whilst you develop the modules - e.g. a Mobile + Tablet extension/module for it? Just focus on the desktop interface and worry about mobile AFTER we are all playing with BETA or Final CORE.
heheh (
Please!).......
POWER PACK for X2
Why is this, or has this been, dead in the water for a year now?
Does anyone want to continue building and improving the power pack? Not everyone will upgrade to x3 if they already have their X2 site in place (not immediately anyway
).
So why is no one improving the Power Pack? I would happily pay $25 - $40 for that "pack with potential" to be improved!
heheh....
HAPPY NEW YEAR!
Cheers!
