“Progress isn’t always additive.”

John Gruber on the progression of web technologies.

“Sometimes the next thing does less, and is better for it — not in every way, but overall. If we never let go of old technology, we’d be buried in complexity and crushed by outdated crap.”

Keep this quote in mind when the next version of Viddler is released. Sometimes you just have to get rid of things for the sake of making progress. It isn’t easy. But progress rarely is.

Add a progress bar to your Viddler uploads

We get this question a lot at Viddler: How can I add a progress bar to my uploads using the Viddler API? We’re always asked if this is something included in our API wrappers. Until now, it hasn’t been. That’s where phpViddlerUploadify comes in. This extension to phpViddler, our PHP wrapper for our API, makes it pretty easy to use the open source JavaScript library jQuery and the extension Uploadify to add progress indicators to your Viddler uploads.

Go forth, and hack! Oh, and its completely open source too. (More on this later.)
