With the newly available Stack Overflow API going beta ( http://stackapp.com ) I felt like trying to create a site that will create a social mashup (link) from Stack Overflow to Facebook. Hence, StackBook was born. StackBook helps a Stack Overflow user share their Stack Overflow activities with their Facebook friends. StackBook is available by going here http://stackbook.mourfield.com/ and logging in with your Facebook credentials.
StackBook uses the Stacky API ( http://stacky.codeplex.com/ ) for accessing the Stack Overflow side of things and the Facebook Toolkit ( http://facebooktoolkit.codeplex.com/ ) for accessing the Facebook APIs.
For those that are curious, All of the code is available on the Codeplex project that I’ve created at http://stackbook.codeplex.com/ .
For the past several year I've used Google's Blogger as my blog engine. Now I've finally put together a blog engine of my own using ASP.NET and a variety of related techniques and technologies, including: Dependency Injection, Inversion of Control, and Unit Testing.
It's my hope to find the time to publish many of the things I've learned while doing this. I'm planning on adding many new features in the short term including:
- Comments w/OpenId Authentication
- Tag Cloud
- Blog History
- Events w/RSVP
- Newsletters
- Storefront / Payment integration
- Suggestions?
The 'engine' that I've developed to do this is flexible and able to be used with both 'Classic' ASP.NET and ASP.NET MVC.
There _may_ be a few snags while I'm transitioning the site over from the Blogger platform. Thanks for your patience and understanding while this is going on!
I know that the visual design of the site isn't the greatest. I don't claim to be very artistic, but if you'd like to contribute some graphical goodness I'd really appreciate it!
