Gary: There are a lot of some small difficulties. "Iframe" App gives us some
freedom in using different JS features and modules, but it also forces us to
keep some FBML rules. We have to put all FBML tags into some FB system tags
(because of rendering on FB side). After inserting such FBML tags I have to
write some JS script that works after loading fbml, that's why because FB
return rendering tags with width > then 900px (FB gives us only 750px free
space for app), so I make it smaller. We have also some problems with redirects
(earlier it was like a whole one page, now it is separated), in this way
sometimes I make redirects in IFRAME and sometimes I have to redirect whole
page (because we have to change urls). For example, we can't display profile
page with url in you browser of a GAME. Earlier I have a lot of samples ,
structures, etc. But now I have to rewrite everything that I had earlier.
Best,
Gary

I had a quick look at the current version of the app - it's taking
shape. : ) There are a few issues & differences with the specs, but I'll
leave that for later on, as I know it's still work in progress.

I understand - it's a good investment though, as Facebook is quickly
switching to the Graph API. Also, it should be much easier to build a
standalone version, outside of Facebook, this way.
What do you think of the new API? Did you run into any
limitations/difficulties compared to the canvas apps?

Great - thanks!
