The techniques described herein improve an item (e.g., photo) sharing experience on mobile devices. In one embodiment, an application presents items in a stacked configuration and receives swipe-based touch gestures that reflect user intent with regard to whether or not a photo is to be shared to a network destination. After a directional swipe occurs on the top-most item, the next item in the stacked configuration is displayed for a next directional swipe. This process is repeated until all the items in the stacked configuration have been displayed to the user. In another embodiment, the application receives a continuous user gesture that traverses a set of photos laid out in a grid configuration. When performing the continuous user gesture, whether or not the user pauses on a photo reflects a user intent with regard to whether or not the photo is to be shared to a network destination.

User interactions and feedback signals for sharing items to a network destination

Deferred revenue calculations can be necessary in an accrual-basis accounting model where a subscription or other type of sale is conducted that requires deferred revenue recognition. A snapshot state corresponding to the current state of a particular deferral can be generated. Out of order deferred events can also occur. The current state of the deferral can also be published in a downstream system.

Scalable, service-based architecture for efficiently processing accrual-basis, out-of-order events
