New Years Facebook App
Posted under: This actually went live a few weeks ago, but I wanted to share something we just launched at Anthem. It’s a New Years Facebook app for Michelob Ultra. You can browse through several New Years resolutions, and if you see one you like, you can take that resolution. When you take a resolution, it sends you a new article every week with tips and information to keep you on track with your goal. The articles are delivered via Facebook notifications. Here’s a link to the app.
I did the entire back end for this, including setting up the Facebook app, creating the database, handling user sign ups, publishing articles, and sending Facebook notifications when a new article is published.
In case you don’t have Facebook or you are reading this after the promotion is over, here are some screenshots.

The detail view for a resolution you have not taken yet, with options to take the resolution or share it on Facebook or Twitter.
