myitunespurchases goes OpenSocial.

I'm in the process of adding to my existing app to provide OpenSocial support. So far I've built out a basic tabbed gadget. This is a different approach than I took on Facebook and I think I like it better. It gives the option of editing the feed url. I have the tab support built and a mechanism for the dynamic content. The next step is to add the JSON support.

adding JSON support

Earlier this morning I started adding JSON support to myitunespurchases. This should prove to be straightforward since the core processing of the iTunes feed is a simple block of code right now. Once I have JSON support setup then it will be a simple matter of adding an XML gadget file for OpenSocial support.

Could be handy for a small, simple site.

Okay so I'm officially in beta testing with my Facebok app. I have more features in mind and I know the layout needs some cleanup for the Profile page. There's more to follow.

Still no word yet on support for Java.

PyFacebook frustration

So currently I'm just a little frustrated with using PyFacebook on Google App Engine. The problem is that I'm not really using Django and I'm struggling to figure out how to use the library for support for things like adding FBML to the profile page.
