Hey guys,

Just thought i'd spread the word here, I recently launched in the last few weeks http://themotoempire.com/.. It's a Moto game content site!

I've spent many years wanting to do this and finally got back enough into web design in the past year or two to catch up on the technologies and build some cool stuff. Little did i know when i started building a business web app last year that how much the web has changed. i originally started building the same old way, html and php on page load to pull in data. Incredibly it's much cooler to drop the php and do it using Jquery and AJax calls, so i dropped the php site and started doing it with jquery and ajax to call php files on the fly. After learning even more i realized this was still older technology and started learning about having a great fluent developer environment on the desktop using Yeoman, Grunt and other task runners to build sites fast and more efficient. Wow, what a learning curve!! So i continued to learn and figured AngularJs is a great well supported framework i should learn. Now in order to learn it i took online classes and built this Moto Site in preparation to building my business app again from scratch. I'm pretty happy with it, like i said it's built using AngularJs, Firebase DB, and Mediafire Javascript SDK.

Firebase is unbelievable, The coolest part about this whole site is everything is completely live synced with the DB, any changes that happen in the DB whether it's a new review, user, download, or visitor it's all directly reflected into the front end. Truly bad ass technology and will be awesome to watch as the site gets more users.

Check it out, let me know what you think, constructive or not! plan on building it into the main hub for Moto Game Content. I use a paid Pro Mediafire account to host the data as it's easily the most competitive and actually allow you to tap into the Api and built sites like this into it, A lot of other hosting prohibit it.

Hey Ryann,

maybe I didn't get it yet, with all the tech talk inbetween, but what#s the goal of this new site of yours?

Cheers, neb

Hosting Track / skins / objects etc.

Central db of content with a rating system as well

Alright. WIsh you good luck with the task.

Hey, I figured, once you've set your account picture you can't alter it. Maybe work on a function to enable that - I'd need it, lol

Cheers, neb
