Workflow

1. user visits product page. load sibt.js.
2. sibt.js is deprecated. server redirects request to real-sibt.js.
3. does this shop have an account? if not, send null script.
4. did this shop uninstall? if yes, send null script.
5. send script to browser.
6. script loads jquery, colorbox, and other pre-requisites on to the page.
7. is there a product on this page? if not, attempt to create a product, and quit the script.
8. did the user look at more than two products in this shop? if yes, show button. otherwise, quit the script.
9. if client enabled top bar, show it.
10. if client enabled bottom popup, show it.
11. did the user already create a vote? if yes, swap the "ask friends" button with a "show results" button.

Classes

• SIBT(App): functionality of Should I Buy This
• SIBTShopify(SIBT, AppShopify): communication, installation, and integration code between Shopify and us
• SIBTInstance: aka "a SIBT vote", an SIBTInstance stores information about the vote, e.g. who started the vote, which product(s) he/she chose, how many votes, etc.
• PartialSIBTInstance(Model): deprecated; originally used to self-expire instances that do not qualify as a full vote (e.g. user did not tell us who he/she is)
