Project Hiatus

Zoka as a project is currently on hiatus from active development, as now that I’ve written it, I feel like I have to rewrite it from scratch to deal with issues that came up, such as server load problems, interactivity lag, browser cross compatibility and browser lag.

The rewrite, if I get to it, will focus on improving speed on the client and server, making the channels interface more natural and betterer, and allowing arbitrary data feeds (any rss feed).

GPL

Any code you can see, HTML, CSS etc is licensed under the GPL. Server side code is still too prototypey and disorganized to publish and isn’t available yet :/

Where to access demo of Zoka?

Hi Alex -

Wierd … focus just jumped up to Title input. Mmmm

I’ve read everything I could about Zoak … since it will now Save Channels it’s evidently running. Somewhere … but I can’t find where.

Can something be added to the Zoka – SWiK page?

TIA ben

New Feature: Saved Channels

You voted, I implemented – now your channels are saved, so you can leave Zoka and come back—your channels will be saved thanks to the magic of Cookies.

If your feature didn’t make the cut this time, well you should have voted. Tune in next week.

Service outage on tag feeds

I just noticed that the tag feeds on Zoka weren’t working – the database had become corrupted. Things should make their way back to normal though, I repaired the database.

Fixed Bug

bug fixed: if you entered a tag that had never been seen before, (usually one with spaces in it) – it would prevent the channel from being serviced.

Now fixed…

Tabs now work a little more smoothly now, more like you’d expect them to.

I tried to copy the behavior of the tabs from Firefox

hopefully it works
