The University of Kansas,

Let me briefly explain the process in which I'm trying to give you money:

1) I click a total of seven times to get to the point where I can pay my tuition and I'm greeted with: "Security Error: The authentication process failed or the page is not accessible to you at this moment." I decide to call the IT department and they say I need to try FireFox, it works. They go on to say if I allow third-party cookies on my initial browser the site would work. This is a terrible recommendation, third-party cookies are very insecure and should never be allowed. I'm trying to give you a lot of money and this should be easy.

2) I go to make a payment using my credit card. You only accept Mastercard and Discover, seriously? I only have Visa (along with everyone else) so this isn't going to work, not to mention the $25 fee you charge which, by this point is the turning of the blade. I'm trying to give you a lot of money and this should be easy.

3) I call the Bursars office they say use a check.

Original code spread across 28 templates in various permutations. Anytime I wanted to restructure tabs I'd have to change every damn template:

<ul class="tabs">
    <li><a{% if not group %} class="on"{% endif %} href="{% url user_books username=reader.username %}">{% trans "All" %}</a></li>
    <li><a{{ group|is_on:'finished' }} href="{% url user_book_group username=reader.username,group="finished" %}">{% trans "Finished" %}</a></li>
    <li><a{{ group|is_on:'reading' }} href="{% url user_book_group username=reader.username,group="reading" %}">{% trans "Reading" %}</a></li>
    <li><a{{ group|is_on:'plan-to-read' }} href="{% url user_book_group username=reader.username,group="plan-to-read" %}">{% trans "Plan to read" %}</a></li>
</ul>

Abstract it out to an XML tree:

nathanborror

define([], function(obj) {

  var channels = {};
  if (!obj) obj = {};

  obj.subscribe = function(channel, subscription) {
    if (!channels[channel]) channels[channel] = [];
    channels[channel].push(subscription);
    return channels[channel].length -1;
  };

Readernaut API

I'm going to be deprecating the current Readernaut API in favor of a newer more built-out version. People using the current version have two weeks to switch over to the new API. Currently you can find your API_KEY by viewing source on any page and searching for "api_key" in the output (this will get better later). Here are some example endpoints:

Notes

• Old: /services/api/USERNAME/notes/
• New: /api/v1/notes/note/?username=YOUR_USERNAME&api_key=YOUR_API_KEY&user__username=USERNAME
