Concept

Make funtarded super slick and fast.

Features

Interface

• Bulk Importer
  1. User supplies an url
  2. All images on the page are scraped
  3. App sorts them by likelihood of being interesting (size, centrality, etc.)

  4. User can click which ones they want (click to toggle the selection, or click & drag POPDOS style!)

• JS Packed Image-Grid (with infinite-scroll)

  • Masonry

  • Crowdreel

• linear-browsing (http://instagre.at/)

• work-safe mode (sorry tirlas!)
• categories/tags/kittens
• ajaxify page-flipping to the maxify
  • preload of next random image set

  • location.hash based history (and pasteable links)

  • random-images do a scaling transition (like this -- http://www.veoh.com/)

• upcoming images fisheye-zoom interactively

• funtarded logo zips out of the way (into the corner of the screen)
• game-features

  • funtarded logo is actually the corner of a control panel

    • clicking it drops down a status window with your score and vital statistics

• manipulate images using a context menu

• the next page of images slides into place like Coda does

Social Features

• CB-radio chat

Ratings

• Differential rating system (A is good, B is good, both are good, neither are good)

Shininess

• find elegant and shiny CSS design things... or ... i dunno, photoshop
  • (?) is it possible to use JS to put reflections below thumbnail images? (alpha + flipping + scaling)

Monetization

The "level complete!" screen will be accompanied by ads for hand-picked cool things (like items from woot.com or thinkgeek.com).

Hopefully, the feeling of elation and closure given by the score screen will encourage people to think about leaving the site for a minute, and about buying something cool while they're at it.
