Re: [Announce] FaceBrick: Facebook client for Maemo with a rich UI
 

I can't see to use this. When I try to comment on friends' updates I get a message saying e.g. "Error Liking Post - The user's hasn't authorized the application to perform this function."

Does this mean we can only see updates but not comment on them?

Write a status update before trying to do anything.

Had the same problem, this solution worked perfectly, thanks!
I love this app, especially the "via Nokia N900". Makes my friends all jealous. ;) Keep up the good work!

Not sure if someone has already asked this w00t but do you plan to support link posting (with thumbnail) along with status updates?

With this in place I would never need to go to the facebook site - well apart from the odd picture photo gallery I look at.. :)

Hi,

Just a quick announcement - non-ASCII characters in status updates etc should be working again after the libqfacebook 0.1.2 update, which should be heading to extras-devel soon.

Thanks!

FaceBrick 0.5 has been pushed to extras-devel just now, and should be available for download within the hour.

Changes:

• Add a settings dialog
• Add a setting to change refresh interval of newsfeed (#9)
• Add a setting to change text size (#7)
• Fix non-ASCII characters causing problems in updates again (#2)
• Work around Facebook permissions problem (#4)

#4 will cause a dialog to flash up each time you start FaceBrick. It may linger if you have a bad internet connection, but it should go away afterwards. If not, just cancel it yourself.

This is (for the moment) unavoidable to ensure you have the right permissions. Patches welcome.

I'd like to thank Brik for her input into this release.

I'd also like to take a moment to remind everyone that we are accepting donations for FaceBrick, please see: http://rburchell.com/projects/donate/ if you are interested in helping out.

Thanks, and enjoy!

Awesome! I discovered this app (0.4) yesterday, installed it and really like it so far. Upgraded to 0.5 this morning, and am trying it out now. This needs to be pushed to testing and extras, to let the masses know.

Great work!

Agreed, its one of the very few indispensable apps on my n900. (Esp now that it doesn't keep eating memory until it crawls. :) ..)

Now if only someone would port newsrob from android I'd be set.

There is a google reader client for Maemo. Look for 'grr'. :)
