The OpenPhoto Project<\/h3>\n
\n I am currently working on The OpenPhoto Project<\/a>.\n The goal of the project is to provide an alternative to existing photo sharing and management services by giving ownership and control of users' photos back to them.\n It's entirely open source and available on Github<\/a>.\n <\/p>\n

The Scholar App<\/h3>\n
\n I co-founded a student collaboration platform on Facebook and Twitter<\/a>.\n My co-founder<\/a> provided an alternative to Blackboard and Moodle<\/em> which doesn't suck and students actually enjoy.\n <\/p>\n

Textbook Revolt<\/h3>\n
\n In addition to The Scholar App<\/a> we have also built a student textbook rental platform<\/a>.\n While provided an alternative to Blackboard and Moodle we also helped solve the overpriced textbook problem<\/em>.\n <\/p>\n

PubliciTweet<\/h3>\n
\n A recent site I created was a Twitter marketing tool<\/a> named PubliciTweet<\/a>.\n As part of the project I wrote a library for the Twitter OAuth API in order to better understand the OAuth specification.\n That library is available on Github<\/a> as is the documentation<\/a>.\n One of the biggest challenges of this project was to efficiently make tens of thousands of API calls while honoring Twitter's API limits.\n <\/p>\n
\n I ended up selling the site in order to focus on the student textbook rental platform<\/a> mentioned above. \n Before selling the site it had already sent 700,000<\/em> direct messages on Twitter and averaged over 40%<\/em> click throughs.\n <\/p>\n

Photagious<\/h3>\n
\n In 2003 I began working on my largest and most successful project, a photo sharing application named Photagious<\/a>. \n We bootstrapped for 2 years and raised funding but ultimately had to shut the service down in 2009.\n I still run a version of the site for my personal use and utilize it's API to integrate my photos into the right bar.\n <\/p>\n

Epiphany RESTful PHP Framework<\/h3>\n
\n The Epiphany framework is fast, easy, clean and RESTful. The framework does not do a lot of magic under the hood. It is, by design, very simple and very powerful.\n<\/p>\n
\n The documentation provides a few conventions that we believe lead to well written code but you're free to use any style you'd like. The framework never dictates how you should write or structure your application.\n<\/p>\n
\n You can read the Epiphany RESTful PHP Framework documentation<\/a> on Github.\n<\/p>\n\n
Sample Code<\/h3>\n
\n \n
Epi::init('route');\n$router = new EpiRoute();\n$router->get('\/', 'home');\n$router->get('\/contact', 'contactUs');\n$router->run();\n\nfunction home() {\n echo 'You are at the home page';\n}\n\nfunction contactUs() {\n echo 'Send us an email at foo@bar.com<\/a>';\n}<\/pre>\n<\/p>\n\n
<\/div>\n\n
Twitter-async<\/h3>\n
\n Twitter-async is a PHP Twitter OAuth<\/a> wrapper which let's you make parallel web service calls.\n I had originally created it for PubliciTweet<\/a> in order to understand the OAuth specification.\n Open sourcing it helped other developers looking for such a library and also myself as they began submitting patches.\n<\/p>\n\n
\n You can read the Twitter-async documentation<\/a>.\n<\/p>\n\n
Sample Code<\/h3>\n
\n \n
$twitterObj = new EpiTwitter($consumer_key, $consumer_secret, $oauth_token, $oauth_secret); \n \n$twitterInfo= $twitterObj->get('\/statuses\/friends.json'); \ntry{ \n foreach($twitterInfo as $friend) { \n echo $friend->screen_name; \n } \n}catch(EpiOAuthException $e){ \n echo $e->getMessage(); \n}<\/pre>\n<\/p>\n", articles : "
