Ask YC: I just quit Microsoft to work on this product full-time. What's your brutal feedback?
"... I just quit Microsoft to work on this product full-time. What's your brutal feedback? ..."
Show through demonstration. Well thought out, flawlessly executed in an area that will no doubt have the potential to make bucket loads of cash.
But there are a few problems I can think of. The first is the market for adverts is dominated by a giant. But where there is competition there is potential for success. The other problem is images + javascript can be blocked through code [0] and by humans. [1] Those clever lads at google get around this using text. Text fools code blocking and to some extent humans. So the technique you use will be less effective than googles technology. What other technology is behind the advert engine. How for instance does it target individuals?
Q What do we really need?
Maybe it's a little bit idealistic but for me I just want to make things that users want [2] and try to make their day a little easier and helping them instead of bombarding them. Reducing the amount of useless information and noise. Linda Stone poses the question(s), *"what do we really need, and what do we need to pay attention to"*. [3] And your system is something I think does not really benefit the consumers full stop. Microsoft thinking at it's best.
Q What do we need to pay attention to?
I'm sure advertising will be a hit for creators, synthesisers. But is this the right question?

Playing around with basic animation using the GreenSock javascript engine. When I programmed in AS3 back in the day I used GreenSock. I am VERY impressed with that this javascript animation engine can do... I'm ready to start playing around with more complex tests now.

This is a silly prototype I made showing flash video overlaying HTML, and synchronising javascript animations and sound effects to a video timeline. The lower left block is video, the lights (including those overlaying the video) are HTML, CSS and Javascript.
It gets a little crunchy toward the end given CPU load etc.
Sometimes I find visual context helps when writing code. This is one example of a scratchpad for random thoughts.
Usually when I'm thinking in terms of coordinates, rows and columns or pixels as they relate to a grid pattern like this, it helps to draw outlines showing how the numbers correlate to the visuals.
In this case it was the "grid" (columns and rows of thumbnails) that I was working on. I knew scrolling, selection and rearrange would be important interactions that would need to be hashed out, once the photo items themselves has been defined as objects in JavaScript.
Later, primary controllers to be defined in JavaScript included the "display" (responsible for the current view), selection, events and state (sessionData) along with a few performance / browser limitation notes.
More fun background details on the grid are planned for a future code.flickr blog post.
