  • Photoslider rocks. When can I use it for Blogger?

The first issue I see (with my very, very little research) is that Gadgets require you to host content. What that means is that any gadget user that wants to use Photoslider will have to host the SWF somewhere. I probably won't be able to host the SWF for people because if people start adopting it then my server will get creamed.

    I am looking into options to see what other Gadget devs are doing, if they are using SWF content, if so how are they hosting. Otherwise I may have to look into hosting options and/or hosting fees (blarg!!).

    The nice thing about Wordpress and/or Moveable Type is that most users are hosting on their own server and adding a plugin contains the SWF and required code. Its not all lost yet, this is very very early research.
  • Dude, that is way awesome! Looks really great! Love the full screen functionality.... got some ideas for functionality, remind me next time we talk.
  • Cool... I am in the midst of planning out the feature list and release plan for 0.2 - 0.5 right now. I will be interested to see what ideas you have for sure!
  • Congrats on the Photoslider -- Very cool
