I've been working on some stuff today in the FAA, mostly those new fancy looking comments ^^ I just decided to write this post to give you all a heads up on where the FAA is headed in the next few months.
The past few weeks I've been focusing on improving the looks and style of the albums as opposed to working on new features like I should be. I guess I'm feeling a little pressured by the modern art gallery sites such as deviantArt and I wanted to improve the style of the FAA. I'm really inspired by dA and I love their interface and website. I modeled the new comments after the ones in dA after I finally figured out how to make them work.
I start school next week but I'll have just about as much time to devote to working on the FAA.
As many of you know, the FAA is not a perfect product. It still has bugs in it which need to be squashed and new features that need to be released. I plan on finishing the FAA in mid-Summer, but I will continue to tweak it and occasionally add new features afterwards. If I make that goal, I will have finished it in a year and a half, which is remarkable for me considering this is my first big web programming project.
But enough about me. I'd like to thank everyone for contributing to the FAA and sharing their artwork and working with me to develop it to where it is today. The artists here are marvelous and the FAA has grown very quickly since its beta release more than 1 year ago. Thanks everyone! I look forward to looking back next year and seeing how far we've come again. ^^
As an added note, you may see some areas of the FAA that are completely new and then you might see some areas that haven't been revamped in ages. I will be updating all areas of the FAA with the new styles so fear not! ^^
