    FriendsFlow (facebook client)

    I've started writing a facebook app. It is currently in a "beta" stage.


    NOTE: when the app starts up it will ask you to authorize the app via a web page. After you go through a few screens there it should go to a WebOS app. If it still looks like a web page you are doing it wrong. Restart the app and make sure to click on the buttons giving FriendFlow access to your account.


    CURRENT DOWNLOAD LINK:
    http://friendsflow.com/com.friendsfl...0.0.13_all.ipk

    Changelog:

    Version 0.0.2:
    http colon slash slash ethanet.com/com.ethanet.prefacebook_0.0.2_all.ipk

    Version 0.0.3:
    http colon slash slash ethanet.com/com.ethanet.prefacebook_0.0.3_all.ipk
    changes: you can "like" things and post comments

    Version 0.0.4:
    apparently an internal only alpha because I forgot to post it

    Version 0.0.5:
    http://ethanet.com/com.ethanet.prefa..._0.0.5_all.ipk
    changes: Background notifications, new less confusing look, can update your status

    Version 0.0.6:
    http://face-palm.org/org.face-palm.f..._0.0.6_all.ipk
    (http : / / face-palm.org/org.face-palm.face-palm_0.0.6_all.ipk)
    changes: New name (face-palm), can see "all comments," most attachments work (let me know if you find a status update that doesn't work), fixed bug where you would get stuck on "Success" (login) screen.

    Version 0.0.7:
    http://friendsflow.com/com.friendsfl..._0.0.7_all.ipk
    (http : / / friendsflow.com/com.friendsflow.friendsflow_0.0.7_all.ipk)
    changes: New name (again!) now called FriendsFlow (Palm says they might object to face-palm), new cleaner layout

    http://friendsflow.com/com.friendsfl..._0.0.9_all.ipk
    (http : / / friendsflow.com/com.friendsflow.friendsflow_0.0.9_all.ipk)
    Changes: added "more" button to see 30 more posts (or 60, or 90, etc), added date of posts, fixed cosmetic problem, added temp icon to replace default icon.
    You may need to uninstall and reinstall (or maybe rebooting would work too?) to get the icon.

    http : / / friendsflow.com/com.friendsflow.friendsflow_0.0.10_all.ipk

    http : / / friendsflow.com/com.friendsflow.friendsflow_0.0.11_all.ipk

    http : / / friendsflow.com/com.friendsflow.friendsflow_0.0.13_all.ipk
    Changes:
    * Notifications are kinda sorta there. (You can see notifications, but they don't look right, and you can't go look at the posting it refers to unless it was very recent)
    * Fixed status update bug where you could only post once
    * Fixed some other random stuff
    * Refactored some code

    Updates should be in the homebrew gallery shortly after posting here.


    TODO:

    Required for release:
    * Change notification to "dashboard summary"
    * fix preferences menu
    * clean up event listeners
    * add a "Web View Indicator" (web page loading) indicator for the facebook auth pages
    * linkify links


    Nice to have:
    Allow "synergy like syncing" for individual users or for groups
    Photo tagging/commenting

    Should I have?
    Make it show "all" likes?
    * Add header with overall status info (eg, personal messages)










    * Add help?
    Other things people ask me to do
