[Meamo 5] N900 Facebook App
 

Currently the facebook app/Widget in the N900 is to basic. Just providing a small update list and tap to enter website, it is not Dynamic.

What a proper facebook Widget should have?

1. Tap to Instant share news feed or what you call it "What's on your mind"

2. Tap and comment directly from the widget it self. Eg, Message from a friend. Just tap your friends name and comment from the widget it self with out logging into the website.

3. Read notifications from desktop with out logging into website.

4. add User tagging in images when posting on facebook. Just like the one in BB.

I think we all know that. Unfortunately no one seems to interested in creating a fully functional app although I hear facebrick now has a proper widget but it is not working at the moment or something.

People on this site seem to fall into two categories:

1. Those who see website apps as an Apple thing and that you should just use the microb browser to log in to facebook and do what you want to do.

2. People who feel that making things more convenient is not an evil thing which Apple have created and it would be very nice to be able to view photos, read and reply messages, check updates, etc without the hassle of having to log on and struggle through a web page on a <4 inch screen.

I fall very very strongly into the second category. My wife visits facebook everyday on her BB and views photos, etc even though BB has the worst web browsing experience but me with my N900 and better screen can't use facebook on it because it is just such a hassle without an app.

I originally thought that a facebook app would be the best way to use facebook on a mobile. But since I found the facebook touch site, I am more than happy to use it in microb.
Try it out at: touch.facebook.com

Re: [Meamo 5] N900 Facebook App
 

I fall into that first category. I don't see why a few people have difficulty with the website. Works great for me, especially with the stylus.

Re: [Meamo 5] N900 Facebook App
 

My point being is that the app should have the versatility to be used on the Go with out being having to log into the website. It also has to be so Dynamic that it literally Trashes all other facebook apps in existence.

Look at it this way, Not all countries have good 3G or HSDPA broadband, more over the fact that all those packages are insanely expensive and will kill you if you do not have the right data plan for your phone (happened to me before). By having a widget such widget will be:
1.Alot faster.
2.Cheaper definitely.
3. Easy to use on the go.

yeh i use that site to0, i have the FB widget on the screen jsut to see whats going.

Re: [Meamo 5] N900 Facebook App
 

+1 for a full fledged Facebook app!

Re: [Meamo 5] N900 Facebook App
 

it is all about compromises.

microb: data filtration is zero, usage isn't simple
microb with touch.facebook.com: data filtration is moderate, usage is simpler
standalone app: maximum data filtration (the app decides what is the most important thing for you, apple-style usage.

I choose always the first item from that list. yes, C5's facebook app is faster but you simply cannot access all the features no matter how you try.

Re: [Meamo 5] N900 Facebook App
 

The UI in my mind for this perfect facebook app is more or less like the facebook touch website just more dynamic and versitile. More over, since it's the Maemo 5 os on top of that it is 100% opensource, i dont see why it cant be done. Open source is only limited to the creaters imagination and programability.

Just hope the dudes in Maemo.org take this into onsideration before things get to out of date.

I actually started on a PyQt4 facebook app but have unfortunately not had any time to work on it. The plan was to have about as many features as Bloo on Android.. I currently have it showing feeds and friends but it's far from ready to be used - the feed doesn't align correctly and all the text is squished... plus has massive lag when trying to download everybody's little pictures..

But yeah... I started.. unfortunately it's fallen by the way-side.

Re: [Meamo 5] N900 Facebook App
 

do u have a screenshot of how much uve completed?

Re: [Meamo 5] N900 Facebook App
 

No, as I've said it was very rudimentary. I didn't get much time to work on it. It basically has a tabbed window of friends and feed and shows a simple list box populated with your feed or friend names (depending on the tab you're in).

If I get the time to perfect it.. we may see it.. but if someone else puts up one before I get it ready then I'll probably trash it (or if facebrick adds some features).

Re: [Meamo 5] N900 Facebook App
 

Have you guys considered using a Quick Widget with the facebook page displayed?

Essentially it IS a facebook widget. Auto updates, scrolling, even text entry I believe.
(I don't have FB but have been following that thread)

Re: [Meamo 5] N900 Facebook App
 

I think this is not the place to address your Question. Be a little respectful.

Re: [Meamo 5] N900 Facebook App

Re: [Meamo 5] N900 Facebook App
 

Maemo org is so big. cant you get anyone here to help you? If you revive your project and if it works i think you will be able to produce an application bigget,faster and batter then anyother.

Re: [Meamo 5] N900 Facebook App

Re: [Meamo 5] N900 Facebook App
 

I think you forget a third type of people: people who don't give a dime for Facebook...

Re: [Meamo 5] N900 Facebook App

Re: [Meamo 5] N900 Facebook App

Re: [Meamo 5] N900 Facebook App
 

Wow dude, i'm just trying to be nice here. I have Experience in Java but i have never tried coding using QT or phyton. Besides I created this post to help show what an FB app should be like.

Re: [Meamo 5] N900 Facebook App
 

I don't see what's nice about expecting others to work for free just to please you. Maybe most devs are too busy to waste time on Facebook, and therefore have no interest in developing an application.

Re: [Meamo 5] N900 Facebook App
 

Well this is the brainstorming section.So i just posted what i thought was kind of necesosary at the moment..
