Smyface.com - the status emoticon is back, updated, and fun
- stevejalim 16y agoIt's simple, but it invariably makes me smile whenever I go near it. The custom favicon to match any generated 'smyface' is nice touch, too :o)
- fookyong 16y agopreloading those face images would greatly improve the experience. (or use a css sprite)
- mattwestcott 16y ago"(or use a css sprite)" You mean like this one... http://smyfaceimages.s3.amazonaws.com/moods_orange.png http://smyfaceimages.s3.amazonaws.com/moods_orange.png ? (yes, it's a bit of a mammoth image, but that's animation for you...)
- fookyong 16y agohm strange. for me, the first time I loaded the page and whizzed the slider back and forth, it felt like each face was loading separately (faces were half-loaded etc). or it could have been just the large sprite was still downloading as I was sliding the bar. in which case, probably best to preload it :)
- stevejalim 16y agoAre you on a slow connection? Has always seemed fine here. Or perhaps that s3 bucket is not near your part of the world, so a bit slower for you than me
- ars 16y agoWhy did you choose to divide the image into lines? Wouldn't one long line (or tall column) make the code a bit simpler?
- mattwestcott 16y agoI had it as one tall column originally, but it turns out that one particular browser (Firefox, I think it was) refuses to render 44200px-high images.
- ZoFreX 16y ago> refuses to render 44200px-high images COWARD!
- citricsquid 16y agoThis reminds me of something I started many years ago (2007-03-10) I wanted to track my mood throughout the day and eventually over years to see how different events and times of the year effected me, does anyone know of anything that exists for that now? (only slightly related, please forgive me)
- jdk 16y agoSomething we put together back in '98 and one of the guys still keeps it running: http://www.imood.com http://www.imood.com It's not what you would call "well designed", but it was fun back in the day and managed to get a bunch of users back then.
- stevejalim 16y agoAh! I'm pretty sure that's the site I recalled when I learned about smyface. Small world!
- RyanMcGreal 16y agoSo did you discover any pattens?
- crzivn 16y agohttp://mercuryapp.com http://mercuryapp.com for tracking your feelings about specific things.
- dickeytk 16y agoI would like to see something like this integrated into 750words now that you mention it
- danielh 16y agoFunny idea! The magic slider doesn't work in FF 3.6.13 on Mac OS X.
- MediaBehavior 16y agoFWIW: Worked fine on my FF 3.6.13 on Mac OS X ...on 10.6.6 mbp EDIT: no extensions on my FF
- danielh 16y agoThanks for verifying, it's working for me as well now. Apparently, I had JavaScript disabled. D'oh!
- TeHCrAzY 16y agoAnnoying to have to dig the link out of the twitter section.
- BerislavLopac 16y agoHaha, that reminds me of something I wrote a while back, as an exercise while learning Django... Perhaps I could still put it online somewhere... :)
