Hi, Habr!

Thursday is a good day to start broadcasting in your habra blog. Moreover, there is a reason. Last month, my team worked hard and collected an iPhone client for the F5 portal.

Hello, Robot!Message feed

If you have never been to F5.ru - I advise you to go. At first, it will be unusual, but you will quickly get involved and start distributing grades on the mood-o-metr'a scale right and left, look into the sticky and admire the Friday ones .

However, now I have no task to advertise the site, it is more important to tell about what the REDMADROBOT team did.

In short, we transferred all the complex functionality of the site to the iPhone platform, adapted it to the capabilities of the device, plus, fastened several new features. For example, now you can see on Google’s map, where is now geographically friends from the site.

Let's follow under habrakat and we esteem that such interesting in the application F5.
And not a word about the site F5.ru after habrakata. Well, maybe only two times.



0. General


The application works in five main screens (not counting authorization): user profile, post tape, favorites, map and “vtykator”. For each screen, the functionality is transferred to the maximum from the web version.


1. Authorization


The application allows you to work without authorization, but with limited functionality. When you try to go to one of the closed bookmarks, the user will receive an offer to register or log in.

Login and Registration Screens
Log inTo register

For an authorized user, all the functionality of the application is fully accessible. You can register directly from the application. They say the first 500 registered through the application donated beer.


2. Profile


A bookmark with a profile accumulates all the information and user tools.
Here you can change and add data, change the avatar (take a picture or choose from an i-gallery), add or delete friends, read the feed of their messages.

New entries can be made in two formats - a regular post with photos (you can also take a picture or choose from the gallery) or a hosca. Hoska is a special type of recording similar to tweet (limiting the length plus a set of templates).


3. Feed and Favorites


Feed - a list of posts and hawks sorted by time. The content of the tape depends on how the filter is configured, the main regulator of the tape.

Each post on the portal F5.ru has a set of characteristics. Of the usual characteristics - the type of the author (user, or columnist), the type of recording (text / hosca / photopost, videopost).
There is also a very strange parameter - mood-o-meter. It can have one of three values ​​- Brain On, Fun, Brain Off. The mood-o-meter parameter depends on the content of the post and is manually estimated by users. The filter collects all the basic parameters of the posts and makes it possible to collect a set of posts in the feed according to the mood and current interests.
For each post, of course, there is the possibility of evaluation and commenting.
Pay special attention to the video - the client has the opportunity to watch it. For this server-side videos are specially encoded. I have already posted one video with a roboporno on the portal, you can watch directly from iPhone.


4. Map


Convenient service for users of the portal. On the map, integrated with Google maps, you can track your location, located near the distribution points of the newspaper.

For F5 cards, an additional element of sociality was introduced - on the map you can see the location of your friends who are currently on the portal.


5. "Vtykator"


A unique mechanism for choosing a random post. The mechanism is visualized in the form of "floating" random headers. Too lazy to think - stick to the "vtykator."

The title can be selected by tap on an interesting topic, or you can shake the iPhone. The iPhone's accelerometer tracks movement and the app selects a random post on its own.


The application can be downloaded in the Russian AppStore at: itunes.apple.com/ru/app/f5/id346004900?mt=8

Until the end of March, another update is planned, including code optimization and improvement of the application performance. And through one update, an option will be added that has not yet been implemented in any iPhone application (ts-ss, secret).

The project is not completed yet, the current version is the first official beta. Therefore, the opinion of habrasoobshchestva is very interesting - someone already uses this application? What are your impressions? What would be good to fix? Messages about bugs and application errors are especially welcome.

be-beep.
