Today we had peer reviews of our progress on our capstones so far, which was followed by a day of working purely on our capstones. It was nice to have so much time to devote solely to my capstone today, and it let me make a lot of progress: I fixed the way my app serves up its static images, added some more touches to friend requests, and started and finished doing notifications, which was huge. Now, whenever someone posts to a user's wall, comments on a user's comment, or likes one of their comments or posts, the user will receive a notification which she can click to be taken to a show page for either her profile or the relevant post. Last, I started working on an "intro" sidebar for the timeline to give the view a bit more content.
Tomorrow, I'll get started on real-time messages using Pusher, which I'll hopefully also have time to use with notifications and friend requests as well.
