Line 101: − − == Design / UX == − − [[User:SAMdroid|SAMdroid]] ([[User talk:SAMdroid|talk]]) I think it looks nicer. You compare: http://imgur.com/C4oxFtS − − It is a html5 site with ajax, rather than just server side pages.

== Current ASLO Feature Parity ==
Here are the important things the current ASLO has that the new one has too:
* Stores every version of the activity
* Shows the user the latest compatible version
* Can search by title or description
* Users can comment and add stars
* Activities in categories
* i18n ui
'''Still ToDo'''
* The update manager in the system settings
== New Features ==
=== For Users ===
* Nicer ui - just in my own opinion
* No more reloads - the activities detail pages load almost instantly
* Localised search - users can search in their own language
* 'Instant' search - it is very fast :)
* A comment system that lets people to actually discuss activities - they can post ideas, questions, reviews and bug reports. Any user can then post a reply to the post and then somebody can reply to the reply.........
* '''Not yet implemented:''' Connect B.SL.O with the ASLO - Let people post bug reports is a really easy way
=== For Developers ===
* Github integration - a webhook can be connected with github which can build and update the activities listing automatically (see the technical description below)
* Communication with their users - they can talk over the comments system (in real time even). I really need to add email notifications so this can work better
* No more references to firefox addons in random corners of the site :)
== Activity Categories ==
The new ASLO adds a ''categories'' field in the activity.info. It is a space separated list of categories.
The current categories are (with their name for the activity.info):
* Games (game)
* Programming (programming)
* Internet (internet)
* Science (science)
* Maths (maths)
* Geography (geography)
* Office (office)
* Tools (tools)
* System (system)
Please tell me what you think about these.
== Help Us --- Translate it! ==
'''Warning, the strings are unstable - you should wait before you translate'''
Here it is, step by step:
1. Make a copy of this file: https://github.com/SAMdroid-apps/aslo/blob/master/web/locales/dev/translation.json
2. Translate the values (the things on the right of the colons)
3. Save the translated file in /web/locales/en_US/translation.json (replace en_US with your language)
4. Also save it in the general language folder (without the country code). eg: /web/locales/en/translation.json
5. Send me a pull request (or an email)
6. BE HAPPY :)
