Deployed TwitCaps v0.97b (Refresh Rework)

  • Implemented a new dynamic auto-refresh framework - I can now add new effects and animations for the auto-refresh mechanism without dropping code. This allows me to not only adjust the animation effect, but the number of results returned and the frequency of polling for new images. Still need to consider a cookie-based method for remembering the user’s preference for auto-refresh.
  • Added a bunch of animations for auto-refresh and set the default to randomize the animations
  • Refactored some of the timestamping code around images (twitter time vs. server time) to better support auto-refresh
  • Fixed a layout bug in Firefox that effects Video results returned from the search
