[QUOTE=Master117;28358825]You're just a moron who thinks he has me "figured out" when in reality you don't know shit.[/QUOTE] So you think that you can figure out that other people think they have you figured out? lol
Hi Perfumly.
How do you notify the people if it turns out they like each other?
[QUOTE=Master117;28356840]I have a terrible self image and no matter who tells me how "hot" or "cute" I am, which for whatever ridiculous reason I get a lot, I don't believe it.

It just strikes those with a low self-esteem even harder.[/QUOTE] I always think people are joking with that and I just say "okay" or "cool" :saddowns:
I haven't written the front end code for any of that so far, but I'm thinking about either having their profile image fade in and slide towards yours up top with a message next to it explaining what's up, or creating a modal/messagebox system. [editline]1st March 2011[/editline] I need whiteboards on my walls for planning out all this stuff, I have a whiteboard, but I broke it when I kicked it because I had a bit of a breakdown when I was being socially purged from high school and everyone I knew back then.
I want to spread it around but I'm afraid that'll seem extremely suss.
This is a bad idea. Watch the social network.
[QUOTE=moesislack;28359108]This is a bad idea. Watch the social network.[/QUOTE] I did. This is a fun idea and I'm having a blast coding it. [editline]1st March 2011[/editline] [QUOTE=Faren;28359097]I want to spread it around but I'm afraid that'll seem extremely suss.[/QUOTE] Do it, please? :kiddo: [editline]1st March 2011[/editline] I've noticed, because I'm naive with MySQL, that I've created a problem that a person can only be liked by one person, but one person can like multiple people. I'm gonna change the table that handles all of this info.
Commuting to college sucks ass, I'm in the same boat (satellite campus)
I did it with the comment: "The creator is forcing me to like this."
I love you. [editline]1st March 2011[/editline] Page king love.
Only person to comment so far is my sister. I'm not sure if that's weird or not.
Hahahaha. Yeah, uh, looker doesn't filter family dude. That's not public API data. [editline]1st March 2011[/editline] [sp]You can like your sister.[/sp] [editline]1st March 2011[/editline] I remembered that I can fetch family data with permission from the end-user, so I'll fix that. [editline]1st March 2011[/editline] I just had a hot idea. What if you used this type of framework to find out who's the hottest person in your college? [highlight]OH MY GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOODDDDDDDDDDDDDD.[/highlight]

I'm pretty happy, some people are using the app already. I just wish I had some more descriptive layout to explain what's going on. If you've read the thread, then it's explained a couple times, but it needs to be concrete and on-site. I'll sketch some ideas in my math course this morning. Half the time I'm conceptualizing, and not really doing stuff in class. [editline]1st March 2011[/editline] Even though I've pulled an all nighter, I don't wanna pull an all morninger, too. I actually did that once during the short development process and got four hours of sleep and jumped [i]right[/i] back into coding. Good night facepunch. I'll see you tomorrow, and hopefully if my dreams come true, people will turn their eyes toward this thread. Sleep well everyone.
Revolutionary idea man, I hope you get far with this. Although I do see a way to abuse it. When it matches 2 people that like each other it will send both of them notifications right? What's to stop someone from saying they like everyone on their friends list, that way they know who likes them by the notifications they get in return.
How does it somehow know who likes you and not?

Isn't it wonderful how people come up with the same ideas! Maybe I should finish it up and release ahah The way I dealt with it was only allowing the person to like one person at a time - they just need to pick their 'favorite' out of them all. Of course they could just cycle through, but there isn't much you can do about that other than restrict changes to one every couple of days or something.
so you basically copied what the original facebook developer did before facebook with facemash??
So this "interested" thing only notifies people if they both mark eachother as "interested in"? That sounds like a pretty clever idea.

I can't bring myself to believe it :frown:
never seen someone take a facebook app seriously
[QUOTE=Masala Chai;28360639]so you basically copied what the original facebook developer did before facebook with facemash??[/QUOTE] But once he makes Facebook on Facebook I don't think the app will go on.
[QUOTE=void0x0;28358777]Can anyone provide me with a mathematical algorithm that scales according to how many people you like on looker? Basically, I don't want people abusing the app by clicking everyone. This was an old problem back with it's predecessor in 2010 called Nudge: [img_thumb]http://old.andrewmcwatters.com/labs.andrewmcwatters.com_nudge%207_15%20PM%2012_1_2010.png[/img_thumb] Basically Nudge was a naive looker that didn't ever get launched because I never finished the back end coding, I ported a lot of it to looker. It was totally unoptimized and literally made hundreds of API calls per users. It's because the average FB user has ~130 friends. Back then instead of making one FQL call to FB, it made a API call per friend to determine what their gender was to filter the friends list based on your sexual preference. Back then it took nearly a whole minute or more for the page to finish rendering, and you saw it happen too. Calls now take about 100ms. So that makes looker 600 times faster, if I'm not stupid with math. Anyway, anyway, with Nudge, the concept was both of you got notified instantly. I trashed that idea, and came up with a three to five day grace period. After the second person liked someone else. I want to scale this 3/5 day grace period based on how many people you like on looker. Good idea? Bad idea? [editline]1st March 2011[/editline] It currently has that, but while it works flawlessly on the server-side, on the client-side, it looks as if it's not updated when it is. I'm currently fixing that as I post. [editline]1st March 2011[/editline] Found the bug. Everything works fine now. The only thing missing for interested now is the grace period implementation. [editline]1st March 2011[/editline] YES. JUST TESTED IT. Works. :h:[/QUOTE] ask the guy who made facebook
[QUOTE=Géza!;28361496]So this "interested" thing only notifies people if they both mark eachother as "interested in"? That sounds like a pretty clever idea.[/QUOTE] o that's how it works, I thought it worked more like the 'like' button, where people can see immediately what you clicked..that is really awesome. No awkward moments!
Did anyone else here think of Facesmash (and The Social Network movie) when reading about Looker?
You both have to like each other, and even after that, only one of you finds out after an undisclosed period of time since the second person liked you. It's like two switches, you turn both of them on, then it starts a timer, but only one light turns on. [editline]1st March 2011[/editline] looker is inspired by facemash, hot or not, and Nudge, my old project, and it's also about just as crazy and suspenseful to develop. looker only has one app right now, interested. It's not clear about that when you go to the page, but I've yet to design the splash page for looker. The splash page will have three apps to choose from, compare, hot or not, and interested.
Wow, this seems like a really cool application. Good luck with your project.
Thanks man! [editline]1st March 2011[/editline] [QUOTE=markg06;28359891]How does it somehow know who likes you and not?[/QUOTE] Database comparison. [editline]1st March 2011[/editline] [QUOTE=Masala Chai;28360639]so you basically copied what the original facebook developer did before facebook with facemash??[/QUOTE] No, actually that part hasn't even started to be written yet. The interested app in looker is entirely my concept. I didn't get inspiration for that from anywhere. The future compare and hot or not (needs a new name) apps are inspired by facemash (which is inspired by hot or not, and hot or not respectively.
Neat idea, cant wait for this finished version
