December 12, 2008 in klasifikasia development

A few weeks ago we started on a new project, klasifikasia.com . It's a classifieds portal for Indonesia. We launched it yesterday.

There's two reasons behind it. First we wanted to get some extra rails practice and attempt to draw some attention to ourselves here in Jakarta.
Hopefully someone might get interested in hiring us for a project.

Secondly we think there is room for another classifieds portal in Indonesia. Granted, there are a few already. But they're all quite chaotic.
We're trying to keep the interface as clean as possible. Also we're working on integrating the site with as many technologies as possible.

We'll be offering an API and build mobile integration.

My friend Michael Hendrickx, who is the main developer behind places.ae has recently implemented a Nokia S60 widget for places.ae.
This is something we will be integrating for klasifikasia.com as well.

Nokia widgets are pretty cool, they're not really fully fledged programs but they contain the static content of your website on the mobile device and allow you to have it load content information dynamically without starting your phone's browser.

More advanced features of the Nokia WRT widgets will be available in the future, like access to device features like GPS
(which is currently in Symbian 3rd edition only available to native C++ coded programs).

Another major feature we'll integrate on klasifikasia.com is a translation into Bahasa Indonesia. This will hopefully be an incentive to more people to use our service.
