day -23+22: frustration > success
Daily stories from the ambadoo team, behind the scenes, dev-stats and other random stuff.
The end of last week was like climbing a steep & tiny mountain. We thought the change of the Facebook authentication would be rather easy and that we had it going, but it proved to be more difficult than what we hoped for.
Cookies
It seemed fine on the iPhone but when we tried to do the same thing on the web-app we realized it needed to be tweaked to get working. After hard work from Daniel & some changes by Magnus in the backend, setting the cookie right and sending the right parameters to the web-app we got it up running again. That was required to move on, on what will become the mobile web version of ambadoo.

This will be the home for mobile web access of your contacts, and your profile. It doesn’t matter where you are, if you’ve forgot your phone at home or you run out of battery. You should always have access to what’s most important, contact information to your beloved ones.
The majority of the functions in version 1.0 is there, and we’ll work on this in parallel with the iPhone app for everyone that’s not an iPhone user. You are as important to us, so you know. We have as a mission to deliver a truly cross-platform & universal system and there’s no more true platform than the web for this. With the arrival of HTML5 & CSS3 the game is different and we can build rich application right on the web. For now we’ll keep it simple.
