Well progress is pretty good actually. I’ve got a basic framework done. And a decent layout established. It’s not fantastic, but hey, I never said I was a designer.
Only had a few hours each night to work on it, so it’s not going as fast as I’d like, that, and I’m never 100% happy with my end result, so I keep refactoring to clean things up.
I’ve been trying to put all of my “Logic” into a separate layer. Make the controllers aware, but dumb. The issue there, is that it’s been pushing my business logic into my Service layer, and I don’t think I like that. I think I’ll need another layer in between.
So I’ve been tossing around the idea of making KodeBits open source. I have no intentions on selling it or anything, maybe some adsense on there or something, so that’s not my concern.
I have two fears.
1. This would be my first open source app. And it fears me to put myself out there like that. It’s hard enough writing to a blog that no one reads, I think I’ll fall out of my chair when I get my first comment.
2. I try to make my applications secure, but I’m all by myself here, and I make mistakes. I’d hate to make it easier for someone to hack my site because I leave the source out there for anyone to look at.
Oh well, I’ll think about it…
So I’ve got my OpenID Authentication setup the way I like. And a basic flow for initial authentication, but it still needs work. I added a “Credits” section too..Only fair because I’m using other peoples stuff too. i.e. DotNetOpenAuth. I also feel I need to throw some serious credit to the guys over at stackoverflow. It feels like I’m borrowing from the “Feel” when you’re over there. Think I might have to send an email to them to make sure I don’t piss them off.
Oh well, off to bed!
