Review Our Idea (Achievements for the web)
bemmu: I'm just beginning the process of adding badges to my app, but it wouldn't have even crossed my mind to use an outside service for it. I think in some form your idea has legs, for example as a WordPress plugin or other situation where people need simple plug-in achievements, but not as something to integrate in a case where the developers could do it themselves.Sending you events just so I can query you right back to see if an achievement was unlocked? That seems like total overkill, I wouldn't even have the time to spare for the HTTP calls. And I wouldn't want to introduce a dependency. And all this for probably pretty trivial checks in most cases.
