To do

Figure Out

• [x] Will user be able to see his/her photos and videos under “Me” tab only on the FollowButton network or everywhere? Should we just scrap this feature? √ 9/4/2011
  The “Me” tab will only exist on the FollowButton network (at least for the first version)
• [x] How will user get free DataMullet account and know that he is getting one? √ 9/4/2011
  Give option for data plan on registration page. This automatically sets up a database for the user with a personal API.
• [ ] Will we show data usage for this account at the top of the screen? (How does Github do it?)
• [x] If so, will we show different pricing options for more data usage? √ 9/4/2011
  Yes
• [x] What data exactly will be captured in the DataMullet database? Obviously all data that the user generates is stored but what data could be useful to him? Is it what he clicks on? The text in his statuses? The meta data of his photos/videos? √ 9/4/2011
  The first version will keep a record of what is clicked on, Twitter OAuth credentials, Facebook credentials, statuses/links/photos/videos. This information can be used to make applications. The database will be PostgreSQL but the user doesn’t have to know that because he’ll be using a JSON API to access the data. Storing Twitter OAuth credentials is good for users who are conscious of releasing those credentials because they can delete them from the FollowButton record if they want.
• [x] Notifications tab at top of screen for activity on different networks? √ 9/4/2011
  Red numbers over the icons that are already being used to switch streams. Will look similar iphone app notifications.

Usability

• [ ] Give first-time user direction towards what to do first

• [ ] Are all the links in the footer valid? Do we have content in them?
• [ ] Change styling of buttons

• [ ] Start thinking about seamless flow for users who want to self-host the software. Should we use FollowButton.org for this purpose?
