Burned the midnight oil the last night and added the final two features of the "More" tab at JacobSix. Notes and Links.
Notes provides a simple WYSIWYG interface allowing HTML markup text entries. You can pretty much put any HTML in the note and they are listed in order of update time. The Notes keep a history of previous versions, which will eventually be exposed so you can rollback changes or view an older version. For now, it's just a great way to keep information about a project. Because it accepts HTML, you can embed iframes, which means video or any other embed that's out there. I haven't tested the dangers of this, which I'm sure are many. So for now, we'll give it a try and restrict the HTML later if necessary.
Links provides a place to keep any URL you want to save. Bookmarks or Favorites basically. However, like TaPingYa (the messaging application), the Links will be collected automatically from around the project. So, if you post a message to the Project that has a URL, it will automatically be saved in your Links. You can delete these later if you want. This just makes it easy to see all those URL's that get posted in various places. The auto collection is not complete yet, but soon.
I also added some logic to check the state of Google App Engine. The service goes down for maintenance now and then, so JacobSix needs to handle this better. I put some code in place to deal with this, but messed up the logic so it didn't go down so well. Next time!
