Past week:

Being a week of work in the prototype French Toast pancake client (app-skeleton branch)

• Search and search results functional.
• Stubs in place for url opening (Pancake.* APIs)
• Login/logout behaviour driven by (observable) username and session settings
• Exploring localStorage + storage events. Can react to logout/login and other setting changes across open windows/tabs
• Hooked up POST to stack/search to create new sessions
• Hooked up active stacks query
• Prototyped router and route for search terms (gives us working search + search result urls)
• Node.js reverse-proxying server checked in under 'proxy' directory. npm install && npm start to install/run

Coming up:

• At a conference Wed, Thurs, Friday of this week; spotty availability
• Break out "saved searches" (session/active) onto its own page
• Create browser-based viewer for testing/development
• Wire up content and applications links to explore layer behavior
• Further implementation/integration of the proposed Pancake.* APIs for full application lifecycle

Recommendation engine built: http://174.129.217.121:9000/smarts/query/hnlinks/ Trained with hacker news data containing 16K links at random. Works fairly well for data it expects: google, apple, education articles, as well as startup news.
