I’ve been mostly in planning and thought mode for the past two weeks.  But here are a few updates.

• added a new image uploader for user profile thumbnails.  The upload process works but still having issues with updating the mySQL table with the image path.  Still a work in progress…
• created a new account settings page where users can manage their info, password and profile pic.
• created a user-follow functionality that will allow users to follow other people and their answers.  The following functionality works but still having issues with displaying friends’ answers in the users’ question page.  Still a work in progress…
• created a new find page for searching other users and to keep track of followers and followings
• there’s a new recent tab in the main homepage where users can now see the most recent answers as well as the most recent suggested questions

I also have a new forum in progress but still debating whether or not I need such a heavy platform.  Thinking about setting up a Twitter account to keep track of feedback and questions.  Also looking into Get Satisfaction…though I really don’t like their feedback tab on the side of the screen.

I’ve also been testing out Twitterfeed and other similar services to figure out how I can let users tweet qrisper answers to Twitter.  Still working on that.  And finally, being the optimist that I am, I’ve been researching AWS because I’m certain that qrisper will have a massive spike in usage with the next 10 years.  Have to be prepared for that eventuality.
