Taking the weekend off - camping by the beach with the family :P
Schedule work for coming week
Built the login system for
I tend to roll my own login system for each webapp that I build, although by now I've done this so often that I have the codebase ready and it's mostly copy-paste-test, with more work on the frontend than the backend.
For this one I used a newer hashing method - this added a little to the job but was worth it because it should stand the test of time.

Sticky 'sandobox reset' button for demo
Quick improvement of this before going live
Responsiveness for user input modals
This was the last job on the sandbox/demo (finally!) and I am hoping to go live tomorrow :)
Finish functionality of sandbox for demo page
This evening I made a couple of finishing touches to the sandbox:
1) making sure any error messages disappeared when a modal is closed
2) a reset button which clears the changes the user has made in the sandbox and allows them to start again
Nearly there - just responsiveness of the input modals to go!

Complete server side validation for user inputs for demo
Last night I finished off the server side validation for user inputs, with validation of hashtags and image selection completed.
Hashtags must begin with a #, are alphanumeric and are less than 50 characters.
The image filename must match one of the images in our selection.

Continue with server-side validation of user inputs for
I completed this for several types of user inputs today: text for tweets (max length for tweet), time of tweet (hh:mm), tweet id.
I also serve a prompt when validation is failed: e.g. "tweet_text must be under 250 characters" and tinkered with the UX for this as I wanted it to appear alongside the modal where the user filled the form while also keeping the text they input to save them having to type it out again in full.

Just crossed 300 followers on Twitter for
After two months of running the audience management engine but tweeting manually I'm happy with this.
The only reason for manual tweeting is that I don't have much evergreen content for twitMate yet - once it's in place I will post tweets via the tweet engine.

Work on image selector to change images for tweets in
This is for the sandbox in the demo page.
Reschedule tweets functionality on demo page
twitMate schedules all tweets automatically but I want users to retain control. To achieve this the user can view a feed of upcoming tweets and change them.
To show off the functionality I'm building a sandbox which visitors can play with on a demo page.
One aspect is rescheduling tweets for a different time - which is the job that's done now :)

Update client's beauty treatment business website
Front end development for editing scheduled tweets
I want this to be slick so am using modals and prefilling the forms everywhere possible to make UX as good as possible.
Updated the image set for Big Toe Web Design on
The Big Toe scheduled Tweets are going to make up the demo feed on the twitMate website so I doubled down and optimised all the images, not just for Twitter but for the website too.
