I've been working on the desktop app creating items and making sure the store panel buttons work. I've found a few little mistakes that make big differences. I'm going to test it for a few more days and work on external linking. So far it's looking good.

I added a button to the desktop app that loads the users items where in the online app exclusive items would load.

Online Shared Projects

Open Project

Now that I have projects to load I am working on getting multiple items to load after visiting multiple pages and adding favorites. This should be done tomorrow. If all goes well I'll open it up to allow others to create items and project links.

PayPal test buttons are in.

This took a couple days to create, now I get to spend the next couple days testing the buttons before the real ones are in place.

I have been working on this 14 hours today! I can't wait till it's up and running. I'm still debating about the download button. I may remove it and only have subscriptions. The goal for this is still the 20th. But may be up tomorrow if no glitches pop up.

Exlusive Board is Online

I've uploaded the exclusive board. That means a website that want's only their items to load can do just that.

Yesterday I started setting up the database. Today I began testing, and noticed a flu bug early on taking me into slooooow mode. I thought for sure I'ld have it all in by today, but there is always tomorrow.

Done did it this time!

I knew the change would come, but did not plan it.

HTML 5 is in and the only way to keep up with change.  So while I was updating my subscription page I decided to dive in and change the whole site.  I cut the large text out.  Seems like no-one really reads it anyway.  I went with a new color scheme, and woody look.

Tomorrow I visit the small business center here in Eugene OR.  I have yet to put the plan in writing.
Maybe after I have it all functioning I'll take time for mapping the future.  I have taken business management, accounting, and 101 in business law.  But the more expertise the better.

Things can change on a whim right now.  So for now I'm developing as I see the puzzle coming together.

Click Thru's
I will have click thru's to help support admin costs.  I learned database development techniques that will prevent over clickers.  So no worries there, it's one click per user per day.


Online Services
I'll have online subscriptions for $3.99 a month.  That will allow users to post items on any web page. That means one can share a project from anywhere online, and is useful for data backup for those who have the download.  

Download
The download is for those who need to work while offline and prefer a desktop program. I'm going to put a $39.99 price tag on it. You don't have to have it to add items now. But it is nice to have when you want to keep everything on your computer at home.

It's been a long Thanksgiving weekend.  I spent the whole weekend coding in the features for

Exclusive Craft Board

 How it works is a website can make only their items to load into the board.  With their most recent items on the top and projects made from their items on the right.  The website includes linkbacks to the items in their item panel.  So if a user wants to order all the items for the project they are directed back to the website the items came from.

This is only functional in exclusive mode from the browser page.   The download lists all the stores that have posted items.

I'm guessing one more week of testing it at beadoroma.com then it will be ready to roll.

Working on the Sellers Panel

I finished most of the post item portion.   There are a few things to iron out in that part.  But I decided to work on the Sellers panels before I put in the last tid bits there.

I'm guessing this weekend will be spent finishing the sellers panels, (there are 2).
Then next week I hope to tackle the cart.  It would be soooo nice to have the cart in by Black Friday.  After that I want to make it available for users to add their own items.

Today was a 12 hour day coding.
I got tired and decided to play with a nice bead my mother just bought for her site.

I made this on the craftboard.
