I just finished my first “real” app using CI… I♥Rant.com started as a weekend project designed to test drive Code Igniter. It is a simple app (no big whoop) that took about 8 hours to complete, including the design and the ajax stuff. Another 2 hours went into making the css compatible with IE 7
The site was created in order for you to have a place to complain about everything that bothers you.
Let me know what you think

Hi Ran.
Tell the guy who hates smoking teachers to stop smoking them.
Personally I don’t like light text on dark background, but otherwise you did a decent weekend’s work.

I’m with Martin about the light text on a dark background, but maybe it goes with the concept of a rant (?).
And probably the guy smoking teachers wasn’t doing it in class ... do they still have “bull pens”?
But it’s a very nice first project.

Cool site, Ran. I disagree with Martin and linuxbz. As long as the contrast is high, I don’t mind light text on dark backgrounds. Black is back.

Thanks for you kind words! I had fun making this little app, and I got to know CI a lot better. I’ve stopped the development of 2 projects I was 50%-70% through and I’m re-doing them all in CI now.
Kepp on ranting…

Hi Ran, I love it! I also couldn’t resist posting on there. Theres plenty more where that came from.
PS , do you mind if I have a nose at how you managed to make the Ajax ‘Barbers Pole’ progress bar? I want to make something like that myself.

There are many pages like this: http://www.ajaxload.info/ .
They are just animated GIFs.

Cool,thanks for the link Crimp. I really meant the js but I’ll have a look at using the prototype framework as mentioned in another thread. NP

Very impressive Ran. Its amazing what you have done with AJAX. Great idea too.
Maybe you can give us a little tutorial on mixing CI and Ajax.
