I'm busy working on the Android App. Spent a bit of time on the weekend writing up the API services so that apps could connect and download the updates. First release will just be frequency based updates, but 2nd release will have push notifications.

Good Job staying motivated!

I have 6 or 7 apps that are in broken pieces ...
 
Would the people really want a miggs column on the Blog.
It would have to be addressed to the masses, not bigfooty :p so you'll need to stay reasonably sane on it, but I'm sure there's readers out there who'd love to read a different opinion.

And thanks to the 3 people that voted in my poll and made it clear more columnists are desired :oops:

I have a half-finished todo app that I just didn't have the time or motivation to finish. There's motivation to finish The Swans Blog app; I promised it, I've got readers and about 400/d when I post. Just have to keep on it and chip away at it each day. iOS app is going to be fun :)rolleyes:) considering I don't know jack about Swift or objective C.
 
I for one, look forward to every glorious post chumpy. Keep up the good work
Cheers, love it when you 'comment' on the posts :p trying to get more users/readers to do it ;)

Like I said, I'm happy to have other readers/writers/bloggers contribute. I don't want it to just be me, I wouldn't mind it turning into a big of a community thing.

It's too bad posters like RW don't want anything to do with blogging :(

One of the other things voted on was podcasts - something that I've wanted to do, but haven't had the time to do yet. I know that podcasts are loved around here, and no doubt will be well received on the social media, so might start doing these around the bye, given I get the app done in time.
 
Better start a podcast chump think the big footy one is dead
I might have to, need to do a few test runs before I start doing it, make sure that it goes swimmingly. I haven't recorded my own before so will have to figure it out.

Probably after the bye once I've done the first release of the android app
 
Just a heads up in case you guys are expecting something magnificent in the app, a lot of functionality - the magnificence is coming in due time.

For now, the first release, will be a news reader from the swans blog archive with periodic updates. List of news vertically, swipe left & right to go to the next/previous items. Tada... :partypooper:

Let me know what you guys want to see in the app, I have a few ideas, but I'll get there in due time and roll them out slowly, but surely. Enough so that I can get it done fast, without burdening myself. :skull::gun:
 
Show me your source code and I'll tell you if it's crap or not

:p
I'm struggling through embedding tweets in WebView at the moment - not using loadData with a base uri, since the content is local, so if you've got any solutions for that ;)

It should be ready next week sometime, like I said before, won't be flash but it should still look nice :)
