@ocodia Day One is a beautiful app. I love that it syncs to iCloud or Dropbox. #OwnYourData https://itunes.apple.com/gb/app/day-one-journal/id421706526?mt=8

barnabywalters hey sandeepshetty — loving the auto colouring of tags on sandeep.io!
# 
sandeepshetty It was inspired by http://optional.is/
# barnabywalters cool. I hadn’t realised those were auto generated before
# sandeepshetty I like what Brian has done with it...
# barnabywalters I suspect I shall soon be doing some design improvements based on sandeep.io and the new instagram profiles
# barnabywalters lots of stuff I like in both of them
# sandeepshetty me neither till I discovered his blog post about dopplr colors and it struck me that they might be auto-generated so I checked a few of the color codes and they were based on dopplr color algo
# barnabywalters did you decide how you’re doing pagination yet?
# sandeepshetty Do you mean infinite scroll vs pagination or backend implementation?
# barnabywalters sandeepshetty: URLs ;)
# sandeepshetty BTW this is what it looks like to me after I login: http://imgur.com/nnhtT
# barnabywalters oh, nice
# sandeepshetty Haven't thought about the pagination URL... might go with ';'
# barnabywalters not a query string?
# sandeepshetty and I'm leaning towards infinite scroll
# barnabywalters sandeepshetty: sure, but you still need URLs in there somewhere ;)
# sandeepshetty yeah... query string is my second option... haven't thought this through really... based on my next action list I might get to it in 48 hrs :)
# barnabywalters at the moment I have ?day= and ?max_day= params, which are nice and permanent, but a bit messy
# barnabywalters it results in a lot of empty pages if I havent posted for a while
# barnabywalters so if max_day/date/whatever is supplied without a `day`, I’ll do normal pagination, returning the last 20 or so items before that date
# barnabywalters still permanent (not like pageid=2, for example) and better experience. also easier to do infinite scrol
# sandeepshetty Think I remember seeing aaronpk doing it based on dates... kinda like posts older than this datetime....
# sandeepshetty I liked that approach
# barnabywalters yep, that’s how I should have done it all along — and will be doing it
# sandeepshetty barnabywalters - Curious to know what you might be picking up from sandeep.io & instagram profiles
# barnabywalters sandeepshetty: the clean look and colourful tags from sandeep.io, and the autorotating photo header from the instagram profiles
# sandeepshetty I need to figure out how to solve the photo problem... haven't decided which way to go.. use openphoto or build my own
# barnabywalters sandeepshetty: for the record, I use openphoto and am happy with it. It’s API is solid enough for me to integrate it with my own software. I might roll my own one day, but have no reason to for the moment
# barnabywalters for example, the rotating photo banner will be really easy to do with the openphoto API
# sandeepshetty So you have it installed on your own server and saving to photos on your server (not s3)?
# barnabywalters as would (for example) making it find photos tagged with the same tags as the items on the homepage
# barnabywalters yep, I have it saving everything locally
# barnabywalters I run a periodic backup and sql dump to my local machine and external harddrive
# sandeepshetty Does it save image to db or disk?
# sandeepshetty s/image/images
# barnabywalters sandeepshetty: it saves the images to disk, metadata to DB
# sandeepshetty I might give it a spin in a few days...
# barnabywalters I only just realised that dropbox can be installed and managed via command line on servers, so what I might do is use that as an intermediate backup
# barnabywalters so openphoto would save to disk, and DB would sync it’s files between computers and back them up
# sandeepshetty Sounds like a good plan.
