Tabulas things to do:

This is often updated. bolded ones are the ones i'm working on right now.

  • odd autolink behavior
  • crossposting issues
  • rotate images
  • Allow community templating
  • Automated backup for entries for paid users (set a date threshold and Tabulas e-mails a zip file of your entries)
  • Post via e-mail
  • deprecate the old entry attachments and input the image commands into the entries
  • delete accounts functionality (full)
  • output timestamps
  • store last updated timestamp
  • media upload refactor
  • wishlists
  • tabulas.com.br
  • combine old image attachments to actual entry data
  • Set interests from your profile
  • Separate friends into multiple zones
  • Custom friends groups
  • advanced usericon management
  • community profile
  • downgrade all those old unpaid paid accounts
  • issue referral upgrades
  • Community RSS feeds
  • Messaging database refactoring (will allow for multiple message recipients / community message
  • Fix those two bugs in categories / link categories
  • Fix link bookmarklet bug
  • Check LJ import?
  • update all the css files to be compatible with the color selector
  • implement the color selector that's been missing for oh, say ... 4 weeks now
  • image album delete fxn broken
  • user groups broken
  • radio work: delete old tracks, reorder tracks, public tracks
  • Backup gallery (original files only)
  • Category quotas
  • Account check
  • Fix paid user account upgrade center
  • Double check the account payment system
  • Force edit changes to LJ/Xanga/Blogger by storing returned IDs?

Passing thought: I should really try to build a "Switch from Xanga to Tabulas" page that outlines how to switch from Xanga to Tabulas. With the full crossposting already working, users wouldn't lose their readers ... and they could take advantage of so many of the features that I think make Tabulas cool. That'd be pretty nifty.

But right now it is 630am, and it is no time to undertake another 1 hour small project.

Hey Roy! You're doing a great job :) This is awesome!

I know you're uber busy...

but I was just wondering, what should I do if I can't upload anymore photos... I still have the 30 photo limit... I'm sure I didn't read something and I'm just being a dork... sorry if this is a really dumb question!

By the way, loved the "awesome" message on my control panel page. Nice little touch!

Thanks :) I'm beginning to work a bit more on the marketing aspects of it.

Once you get most of the foundation finished up on Tabulas (the list above) I think that an easy to use importing function from all major blog services (LJ, Xanga, blogger, etc..) would be great. Look at other companies such as Invision Board who now is the biggest competitor to Vbulletin, the biggest forum software maker out there. Invision made importers from multiple other software packages immediately. That helped people move over to their package with minimal effort.

Also, did you know that Google is now an ICANN approved domain registrar? There is speculation that Google will market domains to their bloggers, so instead of tabulas.com/~haiphong i could point my domain to my tabulas account. Will this work? who knows... sounds like an interesting idea though.

RE: Importing ... I already offer LJ importing. I don't believe Blogger/Xanga have any type of exporting functions which is a huge hindrance :)

RE: Domain names
It's something that's been on my mind, but the deploying is a murderous row ... I have to deal with Apache, DNS .. .and so many other factors which make deploying it *very* difficult. What I'm leaning towards is publishing an APi instead that will let you run Tabulas from your own server (much better in my opinion anyways).

Sure it's better to have your own server, but don't you think that the majority of the users of tabulas use it BECAUSE they don't have/want to bother with their own hosting?
Comment posted on February 1st, 2005 at 01:49 PM
Yes, most definitely. But the idea is that I don't want to link t he Tabulas platform into some apache/dns mess. I much rather set-up a sister hosting service that offers a small amount of space, mysql, and a ftp account that would come preinstalled with tabulas API products that people could use.

it would still be hands-free for the end-user, but in my eyes it woudl be run as a separate service (perhaps i could partenr with someone to do this).

Ah okay, I misunderstood what you were trying to do... so it's more of a spinoff : tabulas+. Maybe this could be another incentive to paid subscribers? You could even package it together with a domain somehow? (take a hit on the registration cost at a discount, but get a one year subscription out of it?)

That's what I want ot do, yes. That's why I have the Tabulets domain; Tabulets is meant for these purposes in the future :)

Ooooh, the way it's going now, tabulets seemed soley for rss and other xml processing needs :)
