Was very fun working on it! If you guys have suggestions or questions you can find me (@altryne) or Ben (@benln) on twitter :)

My experience:

1) I click on "change profile picture" 2) I hover the options - that breaks the layout 3) I choose "change bio" 4) Im back at "change profile picture"

Which browser and OS?

firefox nightly on debian

pretty useful tool, I like the idea and implementation a lot!

Weird behavior I found on mac os x/chrome 17: the arrows inside the squares dont do anything (not sure they're supposed to but in that case i'd just get rid of them)

altryne18• 14 years ago

Yeah a last minute bug that slipped by, fixed now :)

I like the UI but "Tool to manage" is bit far fetching for displaying links.

benjlang3• 14 years ago

Totally understandable but the people who have been using this service say that it's been extremely useful and that it solves a need for them. That's essentially our goal.

tommi2• 14 years ago

Good goal and didn't mean to undermine the usefulness.

What do you have at the back-end?

altryne18• 14 years ago

nothing :) 100% client side

This definitely has a backend. Something has to serve up the page.

itsprofitbaron• 14 years ago

Just a nit-pick but soon as I load the page I see the twitter icon with "Facebook" underneath it - http://i.imgur.com/tFBOe.jpg

Other than that, I like the implementation of it :)

altryne18• 14 years ago

Fixed, and thanx :)

I think it's useful - all of these sites fall into the social networking space, but they all have different ways of changing these things (and every site is changing them, at that).

Next logical step is tapping into API's for settings API's have control over so you can streamline the settings update (obviously that will never be completely possible for usernames/passwords etc - but the more social apps and customizable settings out there the more of a pain point that will become).

Wow pretty slick. Add more options to intuitively control all the FB privacy settings (I only see a few basics covered here) and I think this can really gain some traction.

Invalid option / site selection ends up with 'undefined in undefined' http://i.imgur.com/1INkZ.png

I did it just to see if Pinterest had a 'change design' option.

altryne18• 14 years ago

strange, firefox has problems with innerText Fixed now, thanx for feedback

Very cool, but the UI is a tad confusing. Perhaps make Pick to choose a little darker.

benjlang3• 14 years ago

Great idea, thanks!

It would be nice if these combinations had permalinks so they were bookmarkable. This way, if the service providers' change their underlying URLs, this site's permalinks could still be useful.
