45. Ugliest WeChat
When the two returned to the university town, it was already ten o'clock in the evening.
After Lu Zhou sent Ye Qingchen upstairs, he returned to his home.
He boiled a pot of hot water, took out the coffee can in the kitchen, took a cup of espresso, carried the cup in one hand, and took out a cigarette from his backpack.
He was ready to capture the inspiration he had in today's car.
Even though Luzhou is a heavy user of prestige, and even if he knows that the more important updates in various versions of Prestige, Luzhou still cannot copy an application like Penguin Prestige.
He can reverse the product logic from the product and then design related sub-businesses, but the possibility of overlapping is basically zero in terms of code implementation.
The same idea, in the hands of both programmers, will eventually write two kinds of code, even if the running results are the same.
Lu Zhou drew the early application interface of his impression of prestige on paper.
“It’s a bit too ugly…”
He was really unable to complain, so he could only divide the product logic by looking at the "prestige" on the paper.
"Excluding a large number of subsequent updates, the most essential function of Vision is communication."
After a little thought, he divided the overall concept of WeChat into three basic services: entrance service, basic service, and social service.
The initial entry service refers to login registration and authentication, and subsequent payment authentication will be involved.
The basic services include account personal information, address book and friend relationships.
Social services, including messaging, push and grouping.
When a user logs into WeChat, the WeChat client needs to call the entry service program, authenticate the user's identity, and extract data from the local and servers.
Unless the user logs out of the application and cancels the login status, the entry service is no longer required.
And to attribute payment authentication to the entry point is also considered to involve money transactions, authentication is naturally a necessary process.
Next, when the user modifys personal information and adds and deletes friends, the WeChat client needs to call the basic service program to query and modify the corresponding data.
It goes without saying that users send and receive messages, and naturally they call social services.
Among these three, the entry is query and authentication, the basic service is low-frequency modification, and social interaction is the reading and writing of heavy data.
While referring to ugly sketches, Luzhou sorts out the most basic functions of WeChat in the development documents.
"If it is easy to develop WeChat to only a few people to use it. But even if it is essentially the same as a national-level application, the final effort is really different."
For example, if you use the entrance service, it will not exist for several people to log in at the same time at the same time, but if there are tens of millions of people, the probability of this will be greatly increased.
A simple login behavior will make the dimension of the problem extremely complex due to the increase in the number of users.
This means that social services are technically difficult in the middle of this high-frequency use function.
Of course, if you have a headache again, you still have to bite the bullet, otherwise you will be a penguin.
And then again, no matter how complicated it is, you have to start step by step from the simplest code line by line.
Lu Zhou took the sketch into pictures with his mobile phone, and then used PS to simply process it, cut the painting icon into application icons, and removed the background color.
On the one hand, he adjusted an Android application he had written before from his computer code repository.
He simply adjusted some application layouts and color schemes, and then replaced the application icons, and the ugliest "WeChat" front-end version of history was born.
“…”
He smiled helplessly, "It's so ugly that it can't be ugly anymore. This color scheme, this icon. It's aesthetic incompetent."
Of course, he forced himself to test and use it, and he would have to leave it to others to redesign and adjust it afterwards.
With the ugliest "WeChat", Luzhou then continued to refine some more subtle business logic for the newly formed documents, and then began to build an overall underlying framework.
Until three o'clock in the evening, Luzhou stretched out and seemed a little sleepy.
During this period, most of the time is used to recall and fill documents, but the specific framework has not been completed yet.
He got up and poured a cup of hot water again, lit a cigarette, and stood by the balcony watching the dark night.
"The ugliest and most basic, so that's almost the same. But with iteration, there are still countless functional logics that need to be filled. Every simple function probably requires countless nights to explore alone." Lu Zhou thought.
He opened his scarf, used the WeChat sketch as a accompanying picture, and said, "The first generation product. The ugliest WeChat was officially born."
The smoke went out, and Luzhou went to bed and fell asleep.
When he woke up at eleven o'clock the next day, Lu Zhou sent a text message to Ye Qingchen saying that something was wrong today, and then contacted Wen Xuwei again.
Lu Zhou asked, "Vancou, are you awake?"
"I just got up and brushed my teeth haha. What's wrong?"
"It seems that I was thinking about something good last night. Is there an appointment at noon? I'll make a meal and I'll invite you."
"Okay, let's get some work nearby. Recently, Old Song was furious and asked me to study what Xinlang application engine is, and I was so busy."
"Haha. I'm blamed for this. I'll go out later."
“Ok.”
After hanging up the phone, Lu Zhou went out to the restaurant.
“Waiter, order food.”
"Peat meat, sauerkraut bones, and ground three fresh. Add these three first, then serve two white rice."
Lu Zhou had just handed the menu to the waiter, and Wen Xuwei also went to the lobby of the Northeast side dishes.
He waved to Wen Xuwei.
"How about Vancou, Xinlang's application engine, Lao Song asked you to do it?"
Wen Xuwei was a little fat and afraid of heat. After sitting down, he drank three cups of tea.
"Huh. That's not, it's just a survey and a clear way. But you know that the projects the company is doing now have nothing to do with this. The most important thing is that new colleagues and interns are basically whiteboards and cannot be carried on."
Lu Zhou couldn't help but shake his head after hearing this. After listening to Lu Zhou's previous idea of Menggu Cloud Computing, Song Wenhui finally took action.
Although it was just a survey, he probably was afraid of being misleading, so he asked Wen Xuwei to do related work.
"Haha, I actually mentioned this to Lao Song. I am also planning to do cloud computing. I mentioned it to Lao Song a few words before, but it ended up falling on you."
"There are also these? You kid can't calm down for a while. At least consider my heart's ability."
To be honest, the road boat was full of prosperity in just one month, and Wen Xuwei was naturally very moved.
But he also thought he didn't have the vision of Lu Zhou yet and could see the right direction for his business.
"Come on, stay up late every day during the holidays to get codes. If you are not in good health, you will never know how many times you have died."
Lu Zhou was joking.
"There is nothing else today. I am indeed planning to do cloud computing. Is Vancouver interested in doing it?"
Chapter completed!
