Need help publishing a OSS HackerNews app for Windows Phone 7

18 points by mariusmg 16y ago

I have created a open source WP7 app for browsing HN easier and i need help publishing it to the WP7 Marketplace (can't do it myself because i'm from Romania and can't create a developer account). So if you have a WP7 account and want to help please reply.

  There are legal issues in every country to work out and verify - just because other companies are legally sloppy doesn't mean it's okay (disclosure: MS engineer).

  I don't think it's about worthiness...more likely, it's a legal issue.

  I'm from Cuba and I cannot download Java! p.s.: I'm not from Cuba but that's the same issue, is a legal issue, hopefully WP7 Marketplace will open later for other countries meanwhile this guy needs a partner.

Why don't you just send a copy of the app by email to the other two WP7 owners?

  I don't have much faith in WP7 becoming a major mobile platform either, but I can't say that this type of comment really contributes anything on HN

    Yep, but a karma-whoring comment pointing out an obvious troll contributes a lot, congratulations.

      Really guy? Did you read the guidelines and FAQ before you decided to start threadshitting here? Or you just don't care either way?

For what it's worth, I would love to get patches to my open source Hacker News app. (https://github.com/jpf/hacker-news-wp7 https://github.com/jpf/hacker-news-wp7)

Wow, does this unassuming post really constitute an appropriate venue for the old axe-grinding platform snark? Find something better to do with your Sunday afternoon, gents. Marius, we're a small shop with 4 apps on the marketplace, and we'd be happy to help - will drop you a line.

Hi Marius, I have a handset and have published an app on the marketplace. Send me an email (in profile) if you need to test on a unit or have any questions.

This is nice - can we get the iPhone version UI to look this good?
