Looks very nice and I think it's an idea that will take over the market pretty soon. The old ways of finding out these deals were through websites and that meant you had to google for that information, get ads and pop-ups when now it can be aggregated on your mobile phone.
One recommendation is that you could also include a community vote, so that people that are using this application can also give their impressions on the different restaurants and vote up or down different places.
I have a couple of technical questions as well, to which hopefully you will give me an answer: What is the architecture of your application? What architecture do you use for the client-server communication in the application? Do you use any cloud services? What is your method of transferring information from client to server (JSON, SOAP)?
Thanks and good luck with it!
- jarin 16y agoThanks, the backend is Rails 3 with a JSON-based API. The backend is hosted on Heroku and images are served from Amazon S3, with logs saved to MongoHQ. The app itself is written with Appcelerator Titanium, but we're switching the iPhone version over to native Cocoa/Three20 because Titanium for iOS 4 is pretty unstable right now.
