Working on user’s friends list
March 15th, 2009
2 AM here and I’m still working on user’s friends list.
There are many ways to do this. The decision that is pending is should it show username plus mini picture or just username?
I’m doing something like, next or first login where this is implemented and available, the system loads first 100 users from the friends list and stores that list on the DB. Thing is people might have more than 100 users, so it should have a next and previous pages buttons to navigate through all friends. An intelligent option is sort but sorting 500 friends over some criteria (best friends, by name, by number of updates) might be a pain in the ass! I’ll have to think about it.
Stay tuned for next version and feel free to comment suggestions!
