When we made Mixes at work, we made sure that we built it in a RESTful way. This has a few cool advantages. Not least because one of the guys I work with, Lloyd Pick, made a quick toolbar up for Firefox to view the status of current matches.
It’s a very simple affair. The grey men change to green men as the server fills up and you can click to go to the page and get yourself on that server.
I’m loving it during the beta. It means I don’t have to sit on the page waiting for a game to get going, I can see instantly as I browse round the web that something’s going on.
Good job Limi, let’s hope Mozilla Addons get it out of the Experimental bin.
