A Couple Of Great Sourches For Simple JavaScripts

Thomas Fjordside — Wed, 28 May 2008 18:49:06 +0000

I have been looking around the internet today, to find some lightweight JavaScripts for different web projects I’m working on. And I came across some really cool sites with some very basic scripts. The first one is leigeber.com with a handful of useful scripts and they’re as lightweight as they come.

Next we have The Filament guys with their nice tricks for jQuery. Great inspiration and you are allowed to use at least some of the scripts, if you give them credit for it.

And then there is jQuery itself. One of my favorite places since I started learning JavaScript not too long ago. Great tutorials and examples plus it’s one of the best, designer friendly JavaScript libraries there is.

On a sidenote I just got the Probloggerbook today. And I just started on it, but it seems pretty good. And I just started using twitter too - So follow me and tweet to me or something?

Web Apps - Free Or Paid?

Thomas Fjordside — Sat, 24 May 2008 11:19:59 +0000

I having been thinking a lot about how to monetize web applications lately as I doing some work in that area. And I found that it’s one of the things I personally struggle with. Getting that part of the plan done is, for me, a tough job.

It’s all free baby!

Giving your web application away for free might not making you a lot of money from users but it will give you a better chance of building a huge audience and then making money through advertising. This will be the obvious choice of social web applications and content rich sites.

Pro memberships

The flickr model - giving limited access for free and giving the users the option of buying access to new, useful features for a small fee ($24.99 on flickr).
This has the advantage of making your site accessible to everyone while still making money directly from you power users. The trick with this one is to give enough away for free to get members and still bringing enough extra to the table for your pro members.

Everybody pays!

A lot of new wordpress plugins/themes are trying this approach to making money. If you are confident that your web application is really making somebody’s day easier this can be the best choice for you.

Now this is actually a reminder to myself. Most of this is pretty obvious but I always forget to think about it before I start up new projects.
