Facebook app ready for testing! - syntoad - 2008-02-07
I just got my RtK facebook app in working condition. At the moment it is very basic. All it does it put a box in your profile that tells how many kanji you know and shows nine random characters from the ones you've learned.
I need people to add the app and tell if it works for you and what else you'd like it to do. For now here's what I have planned:
Show stats of your learning, things like how many you learned this day / month / etc. A progress chart (will most likely be put next to the box of kanji on the profile)
As soon as I figure out the API to do it, I will also add in feed messages that say something to the effect of "Kris just learned 300 kanji!" whenever you add more to your count.
The app isn't in the search yet, so here's a url to add it:
http://apps.facebook.com/rememberingthekanji/
Oh and I don't know if I have to do anything special to activate the forum on the about page, so if it doesn't work, feel free to just send me a message via facebook.

It seems to work just as you said for me.
I'd like perhaps a link to here, and some more context somehow. (I don't have any good ideas ATM)
Great work.

Thank you thank you thank you!!!

I'm not sure what you mean by more context. You mean like more information on the kanij? And I do link to here on the description page.

Looking good... Though you've spelt Remembering incorrectly!
Facebook app ready for testing! - syntoad - 2008-02-08
Lol, I have an itchy trigger finger with that E key.

Looks good so far! I've added it.
Now I'll have to constantly explain to my friends that I don't actually know that many kanji, at least by their terms
Facebook app ready for testing! - AndamanIslander - 2008-02-08
I love it, but I want more bells and whistles.
Kanji-du-Jour?
Your-problem-Kanji?
Kanji speed-identification game? (Multiplechoice, against the clock)
But, what would be especially good is a Kanji Buddy pairing up system...if it could help you find people who are about as far into the system as you are who you can become Heisig Buddies with, pledging to track one another's progress.
I envision this as a kind of AA Buddies system analog...someone you can reach out to when you're feeling weak and you're tempted to just give up.
"One day at a time," right?

Ok, feed support should now bee working, tell me if you have any problems.
Facebook app ready for testing! - AndamanIslander - 2008-02-09
Hey, it works! My feed knows I added 13 kanji...
Still...I can't help but feel this thing could use a good 38% more bells and whistles...
C'mon, now, you know you're into it. Kanji du jour, at least...
Facebook app ready for testing! - syntoad - 2008-02-09
I'm working on it, I want to get the basic functionality (stats, feeds, etc.) working before I add more stuff. Plus I'm not really sure how to go about kanji of the day for heisig, since really you're supposed to do them in order. I guess I could pick a random one from a person's learned kanji, but hopefully you don't ever forget them, right?

No longer works (due to some recent changes on Facebook?).

Could this facebook application be fixed soon? I love the idea of having it on my profile to motivate me, especially since I check my facebook at least three times a day!

Please (specially Fabrice) check Google Friend Connect

It doesn't work anymore. I tried to put some of my kanji that I learned. but it doesn't work!!!!!!!!!!!
Facebook app ready for testing! - syntoad - 2008-05-15
Ah sorry guys, with a busy quarter here at school, I haven't gotten much chance to play with this. I'll see if I can fix the not working part today at least.
Facebook app ready for testing! - syntoad - 2008-05-15
Ok, apparently a combination of both missing dns info and a moved library path caused the problems. It should be all fixed now, tell me if you have more problems. If you have more problems, it's probably faster to reach me via facebook message.
Facebook app ready for testing! - miki76 - 2008-05-16
Thank you very much! It's working for me now! : )
Facebook app ready for testing! - nanym15 - 2008-05-17
THANKS!!!!!
Facebook app ready for testing! - syntoad - 2008-06-09
Ooooh check it out! A new feature! *waits for oooh and aaaahs*
In lieu of actual statistics (to be worked on next,) now you can see your progress through the lessons in the form of colored boxes!!!! WOW!
Facebook app ready for testing! - Jarvik7 - 2008-06-09
Thanks, however there is a bug if you are beyond RTK1.
I have mine set to 2043 kanji and the boxes all appear white and unfilled as if I've made no progress.
Will you also add rtk3 boxes?
Facebook app ready for testing! - syntoad - 2008-06-10
I don't have RTK3, if you don't mind, can you send me a message with the last frame number of each lesson?
Facebook app ready for testing! - syntoad - 2008-06-13
Ok, looked at a copy of RtK 3, the layout of the book itself doesn't lend well to tracking in this way, so until I think of a better way to do it (any suggestions) Putting a higher number should just fill your grid completely up.
