For reference, I built this: http://michaelgrinich.com/hackernews/ http://michaelgrinich.com/hackernews/ The rest of my portfolio isn't yet online. Send me an email and I can show you more.
- duck 17y agoI had looked at your hackernews app a while back and it seemed pretty nice and well built... but I have to question charging for an app that delivers the content of a free 3rd party site like HN.
- briancooley 17y agoWhy? The iPhone has mobile Safari, and the HN clientele are certainly smart enough to know how to use it. Clearly the app has to deliver some value outside of the content. Think bottled water.
- grinich 17y agoI like the bottled water analogy. :-) Thanks for that. The app isn't a huge moneymaker, and was never meant to be. I built it out of frustration and only later decided to throw it up on the store. Building against an api-less site was a fun challenge and I learned a ton. It also uses the Three20 framework, which was an interesting experience. (absolutely no documentation at the time) Think of it as buying me a cup of coffee to help fund a side-project. Next update should have an iPad version, too.
