Speed Calculator

[BrianG]

Update:

I reworked the R/C Calc site so it will fit nicely in a smaller area primarily so it can be used as a Facebook application. I know some of you won't like the new layout, but the developer gets to decide what's best . Besides, what do you expect for free?

However, I can't submit it to the applications directory until it gets "5 total users or 10 active monthly users". Don't ask why because I don't know. Makes no sense to me since I would think you'd need to submit it to get a user base. Apparently, they do this to discourage the use of applications that require user authentication. But since my app doesn't require it, you'd think it would just publish?

Anyway, if any of you are a registered facebook user, could you do me a favor and go to the application page and "like" it? Not sure if it will help though, but it can't hurt. If that doesn't do it, I'll have to trawl through all of their API documentation, 99.9% of which does not apply, but whatever.

Here's the link since it won't even turn up in a search: http://www.facebook.com/apps/applica...14159475311275

You know, the only thing missing is some nice big logo or image on the home page of the r/c calc page/site- big white expanse with a link at the top looks rather empty- needs some epic picture or logo etc..

I thought about putting a logo somewhere to make it look better, but A) I don't have a logo, and B) I don't like to add stuff that doesn't directly improve usability. Glad you like it though. I thought it was a bit "plain".

lol, no no, it's still available in the same old location. As a matter of fact, the version on facebook is simply an iframe that contains the site. I just wanted to add more exposure.
