OpenKudos - An open source port of the awesome "kudos" button as seen on http://dcurt.is!

• An open source port of Dustin Curtis' Kudos Buttons
• Cooler upvote buttons for anything.

• Kudos button is so damn cool.
• I just had to use it! :D

• Server runs on Google App Engine Goodness!!!
• IFrame based async updates.

• Just clone into this git repository.
• Edit app.yaml and config.py
• Deploy to appengine!
• Run http://your-kudos-app-id.appspot.com/newset/SetName/YourSecret to create a new set named SetName where YourSecret is the secret you set in config.py

• Include kudos.css and kudos.css
• Copy and paste button snippet from kudos.html
• Replace a[href] with http://your-kudos-app-id.appspot.com/incr/SetName-IDName
• That's it (Yay!)

@ platform: App Engine
@ actions:

• /incr/set-id # increment existing set-id or create new id
• /decr/set-id # decrement existing set-id or create new id
• /newset/name/secret # create new set (if secret is okay)
• /stats/set-id # Return stats for set-id
• / # Print all stats

Note: id's are alpahnumeric

@ technologies:

• jQuery
• HTML5
• CSS3 Animations

This is a fun project.

Some ideas for improvements:

• Use cookies to mark people off.
• Make automated backups of memcache.
• Use JSONP instead of IFrames.
