Ajax GUI
Posted by AI Dating | Filed under Developments, Web Development
Currently I am working on the AJAX GUI in which I use EXT JS. EXT JS is an AJAX framework like those of Google, Dojo, Mochikit, Spry. EXT is based on Yahoo’s YUI framework. The use of AJAX enables me to do asynchronous updates in the graphical user interface (like updating questions from the AI matching agent) and it makes it more easy to build rich user interfaces. On the other hand you have to make extensive use of Javascript, which is harder than conventional web development and it takes more effort to protect all possible asynchronous requests from unauthorised use.
Domain Hunting
Posted by AI Dating | Filed under Developments, Web Development
For the past months I have been thinking about how to represent a dating site. How should the user experience be. One part of it is the GUI and another aspect is the name. What is in a name? Well a lot I guess! Almost every name related to dating (including stupid names incorporating numbers, mistypings, etc) have been taken, either by dating sites or domain hunters.
So it was very hard to come up with a name. The name should be original, easy to remember and it should somewhat cover what the web site is about. So many things came to mind and were usually taken. So for the moment I have the names “AI Dating” which covers what it is about but it is a bit tech savvy and I’ve got the name “Dating Atmosphere” which is not too bad but it is quite long for a domain name. Dating Atmosphere was actually derived from datingsphere, but that was taken as usually. With the sphere in the name I wanted to represent the idea in the web application that you might be in the middle and potential dates are in spheres around you based on functional proximity (match percentage). Possibly this will be shown in such a way in the GUI if there is time to develop it that way. This is one of the aspects that is novel and not seen on other dating sites (afaik).
So for the moment the dating site can be found at: aidating.nl (for a Dutch audience), aidating.co.uk (for the UK audience) and datingatmosphere.com (possibly for an international audience).
If you have any suggestions for a nice name that has not been taken, please let me know ;-).
