Hi All,
First off - it's been really interesting seeing everyone's entries!
Taking something further:
Part of the reason we created RSS/iCal and JSON access to various
result pages for www.mighTyV.com was so that people could use them
to the put their own front ends on them, so for example I created a
script
to 'speak' what's on now (linked from the about page).
These feeds could easily used in a web widget, or pulled into an
applications, or
redesigned for mobile/SMS/PSP/SMS etc
I know several people already use the RSS with www.bloglines.com,
a few have what they are scheduled to record linked in on their
home pages.. so this is already starting to happen.
There would need to be some work on re-factoring the API a little
and there are quite a few other ideas we have.
After having worked every evening and weekend on MighTyV
for a month (we didn't start until the extension was announced)
I'm taking a break for a couple of weeks. Then Leon and I can
have a chat about how we take it further.
Things I'm specifically interested in:
- Friends - what are friends watching etc
- Finding an image source for programs
- More PVR scripts (Leon and I have EyeTV's so not sure what else is
out there, but
if they have an API this should be easy to do.
- More testing, I'm sure there's the odd little bug in the code
But, as I say, I need a break for a bit before looking at it all again
and working out what we want to do.
Cheers
Leo
