Tickets launched.. again!
It’s been about 3 months coming, but Tickets is back online!
What in the heck is tickets?!
Tickets is kinda like twitter but more for notes than personality spam, it started life as a note taking, todo list making, bastard child of twitter and trac. Something that i could drop ideas and note broken bits of an app into that i could share with my dev team.
It was also the first full-on ruby on rails app the I built and deployed myself.
You might remember this post: http://teabass.com/tickets-launched/
When I first deployed tickets, and then it was gone again about 3 days later! Things have come along way since then!
What’s new?
I have completely rewrote tickets from the ground up, it’s on Rails 1.2.3 and fully restful now, much more stable than last time too!
I’ve also added user photos and a semi-proper invites system too. You can also embed a few html elements too (links and images)
Tickets is still under heavy development, I’m adding and improving it all the time, it’s reached a good stable point now so I thought I would put it out to stud and get some user feedback on it and see what everything thinks.
What can you use it for?
Anything and everything!
Go wild, I’m not limiting much at the moment apart from escaping nearly all the HTML for security reasons.
You can see how I’m using it here on my profile and see what everyone else is doing here: http://ticketapp.com/users
There are so many different directions in which I could take this: tumblog, del.icio.us, twitter, pownce, campfire, stikkit, it could mold into one of those pretty easily (three of those apps are on rails!) and but for the moment just do what you like and make suggests on how you would like to use it and we’ll see where it goes.
What’s next?
Along with a bug fixes and performance improvements here are some of the things I’m thinking of adding:
- Friends and fans
- OpenID login and signup
Private and public posts/accounts(added)- RSS feeds
- Custom styles/templates
- More user profile
- Some more magic to pick up urls and images and wrap them in the correct html
Any other suggestions are very well, leave them at the feedback page
Its looking good Andrew and its coming a long way from when I first tested it tho my account ain’t there now =D…waiting for OpenID =P
