Unhosted

erikandreas — Thu, 12 Jan 2012 21:42:46 +0000

For my own selfish need and for testing/learning new things I created Spotify Watchlist. Spotify just recently launched Spotify Apps where an app is a stand-alone html(5) page. Perfect for my Watchlist – if data could be stored somewhere (other than my current mysql).

I stumbled upon unhosted - genius! But having (end) users sign up for a CouchDB (only currently supported storage provider) instance is a bit too much to ask. Tested OpenKeyVal which would have been perfect if it wasn’t for this which wouldn’t even be a problem if they added CORS support.

Today I found parse.com which currently provides iOS and Android SDK’s plus a REST api, I asked for plans for CORS support (security aside, appId/key must be sent in req) and they replied they will add it. I also found storage room which provides a REST/json api – will try that out asap. Must remember Kinvey too.

In this mix I will also try dropbox webcache from 80cols.com for hosting static files on dropbox. Found Lawnchair, a localStore wrapper – nice!

This is an interesting development, hosting is almost taken out of the picture and you can focus even more on designing and coding* your app.

*) design and coding would imply readiness for switching service provider of primarily your storage provider.

Porting to Spotify Apps

Started to port my Spotify Watchlist to a Spotify App. First iteration of the news watch list is done. Still missing info on how to get current user and use artist and album artworks.

Already done with the Label Search as a Spotify App, some finishing touches and I’ll submit it.

Demokratiskt problem

En stark fungerande demokrati kräver en stark opposition, detta är oroväckande tamt och spretigt. http://www.svd.se/opinion/brannpunkt/fyra-fragor-s-ska-ta-strid-om_6662210.svd

Missat något

Fel hursom

”Oj! De är inte kloka. Jag är alldeles för yvig och ostrukturerad – jag har inte en personlighet som passar för att ha ett sådant ledande uppdrag. Jag vet det, jag känner mig själv väldigt väl. Jag ser det som helt otänkbart. Jag har varken kapacitet politiskt eller socialt att ställa mig först i Sveriges störst politiska parti. Jag inser min begränsning.”

Ligger felet i partikulturen, Juholt eller båda?

Bill O’Reilly galet

Web frameworks

Stuck with a thought of a framework where everything is a rest resource, a method handling a rest entry can not call or access any other objects directly, it must access them as if they too were a rest resource.

A look in the rear-view mirror on metal. Amazing!

Om klädkod och förbud

Ett dyra-kostymerförbud vore nog effektivare mot org. brottslighet.

Förtroende enligt Juholt
