totally impressed with http://www.soonsnap.com/ by +Stuart Langridge that is a very cool little site and a great way to get pictures from my Ubuntu phone to my Ubuntu desktop as well as share drunken bar photos (the original design intent)

+Ken VanDine that's base64 for "facebook". I saw that. But I do not understand why it is there. This stuff is spectacularly undocumented :-)Mar 27, 2015
+Stuart Langridge that seems too obvious :-)Mar 27, 2015- +Ken VanDine it is because I checked :-) I don't understand, though: did the developers choose that name as some sort of obfuscation? Where do they tell the app that that's what its name is? Is the app called "facebook" but I have to supply base64(app name) to --webapp? (Why, why would anyone do this?) none of this stuff is written down anywhere, and the existing docs only cater for the very basic aspects of making a web app. I had to walk through a whole bunch of c++ and qml on launchpad to work out that my webapp's sub folder must be named unity-webapp-something because that's all the code looks for. It is exceedingly frustrating.Mar 27, 2015
- I really don't know the reasoning behind it, I've struggled with the same thing before.Mar 27, 2015
- +Ken VanDine yeah. Daily quality, so everything has test coverage, was a really good idea; nothing gets released without tests. I wish nothing got released until it was documented so that app developers can use it as well as the people who wrote the code.Mar 27, 2015
- +Alexandre Abreu so what do I need to do to build a webapp which works and can use a user script?Mar 28, 2015
