I'd like to share the relaunch of our WebObjects/Wonder/WOLips
website 'Treasuremytext' plus an invitation to try out the closed
beta with the WO Community. I figured this was the best place but
apologies first if anyone finds it a bit off topic.
A quick background to this. Treasuremytext is a simple SMS text
message storage service. This new version is an attempt to bring it
bang up to date using all the recent developments in WebObjects.
During its redevelopment WOLips, Wonder, the lists and Wiki resources
have all played a big role and proven invaluable. A huge amount of
thanks to everyone here and in the community for keeping WebObjects
alive and kicking and providing so many great resources and tools.
Our main objective with this relaunch was to enhance the site using
using modern web development techniques. Ajax, drag n drop, betas,
invites, colourful gradients & reflections are all features of the
site bringing it into a modern Web 2.0 era. We're really happy with
the results and we hope this is a great showcase and example of the
use of WebObjects.
Currently the site is only open to invites (of course, being a web2
thing) but we've added an open invite for WebObjects people. To use
it you need to do this:
1. Visit http://beta.treasuremytext.com
2. Click on 'Create Account'.
3. You'll be told to ask for an invite by email, here just use the
email address 'email@hidden' to get straight in
through the back door.
Two caveats for its use. We are currently operating on a Dutch mobile
GSM number so if your in the US it will only work with ATT and T-
Mobile. The second if your on an iPhone you'll have to look around
for a thing called SMSD for forwarding messages, this is a stopgap
until the iPhone SDK becomes available after which we plan to do
something much more integrated.
Regards the SMS integration if anyone else needs such a thing, I've
implemented this in a framework using the Logica OpenSMPP Java
library. I'd be happy to share after cleaning it up if anyone has any
use for such a thing. It's only useful if you have an SMPP Gateway
provider to integrate with but these are simple to get. You can do
lots of fun stuff with SMS!
