Unwrongest

Hello, my name is Jan Jarfalk and I am an interaction designer and interface developer.

I’ve been working professionally with the web since 2002. Back then I had my own company and did everything myself. Now I am a bit more specific - I do usability, accessibility and a lot of client side coding. This, Unwrongest, is my personal lab. This is where I try, learn and evolve.

I am a Swedish citizen from Stockholm that currently lives and works in Sydney, Australia. From here I work for Getupdated's Stockholm based division 'Social Media', where we help our clients to create social networks.

I put function, before design. I love beautiful interfaces, but I like them simple and obvious. I like things that are fast and responsive. Take a look at my projects and I am certain you will notice and appreciate my slipstreamed approach.

Powerful HTTP push chat through Jabbify Comet Service

Jabbify has just released a very easy way of creating your own push chat – The Jabbify Comet Service. In about 30 minutes I created my own fully working chat. After some polish and refactoring this is what I come up with http://chat.unwrongest.com

Nearly a year ago me and my colleagues started creating a http-push chat solution. The project never got the attention it needed and never got finished. A couple of days ago Jabbify decided to open up their chat client into a Comet service, which made me take up our old project again.

I replaced all the server-side code, the part that took us most of the time, with the Jabbify service. In 30 minutes I had a free and fully working http-push chat solution.

I did some, actually a lot, polishing and refactoring after that, but what you see at http://chat.unwrongest.com is pretty much what I did in 30 minutes. if you like the demo you can download the source code from the project page.

Read more about the Jabbify Comet service at Ajaxian or the Jabbify web page.
