I’ve come to a realization about my project.  I don’t think I’ve described it in detail before but I basically wanted to make it so that a user could simply punch in the urls of some sites hosting images, and it would grab those images whenever they updated and lay them out in a sunday comics style interface for you to peruse.  I thought this would be very simple, but I’m realizing now that the part where the user can just punch in a url and everything works is overly ambitious right now.  So rather than create this universal app that anyone can use with little effort, I’m going to make an app that requires a lot more input on the data you want to pull for my own personal use and that of my friends.

In programming (be it apps, games or otherwise) it is very easy to get wrapped up in a project and not realize when you are overreaching.  I’m hoping with this adjustment in my goals that I’m avoiding this age old trap…
