Introducing the “I’m a Mormon!” Facebook App

I decided to challenge myself last night and see how fast I could get a Facebook App together. I noticed Facebook currently has no Mormon/LDS Facebook applications. There are a few I know in the works, but no one seems to have anything complete. So, following my post on the fb:random tag yesterday, and the “release early, release often” mentality I took a simple idea and pushed it out live. I call it “I’m a Mormon!”, and I finished it in a record 3 hours (and boy am I tired)! I have had some input that’s too “in your face” – I’m curious if others agree and what other names they would suggest for the app. Basically, the app randomly selects a quote from the 4 LDS Standard works (the Bible, Book of Mormon, Doctrine & Covenants, and Perl of Great Price), and displays it on your profile for others to see. You can see an example on my profile page. I will definitely be expanding on this and making it more social, but at least there is now officially a working “Mormon App” out there. I encourage all to add it to your profile and share it with your friends! The url to add the app is:

  • I will be adding functionality very soon that will let you select the scriptures you want displayed in the list, and have it randomly choose from those. Stay tuned to the app's "about" page...

  • Out of curiosity, does it do anything to weed the scriptures down to selections that are more inspirational? I mean, I don't know how helpful it would be to have various sections of Numbers posted (the begat chapters are what i'm thinking more particularly of, although there are plenty of unusual sections of the Old Testament)
