Show HN: My iOS5 app using CoreImage and Twitter integration
- progolferyo 15y agoUghh, the link is broken at the moment, stupid EC2 Elastic IP screwed up my instance and therefore my DNS. Here's a link to the app, http://bit.ly/spookify http://bit.ly/spookify in the meantime...
- andrewtbham 15y agoBesides putting it on hacker news, how do you plan to promote your app?
- progolferyo 15y agoHonestly, it was just a fun project that let me experiment with the new CoreImage API's, but also make something fun, polished and worth a buck. With the new camera in the iPhone4S and everyone upgrading to iOS5, the photo apps are going to explode.
- czhiddy 15y agoWhat was your experience with CoreImage like? Is the accelerated rendering noticeably faster than compositing with CG?
- progolferyo 15y agoSo the rendering is definitely faster but I think the biggest advantage to non-computer graphics engineers is in the available API's over the actual improvement in rendering time, at least with what I ended up doing with it.
- mobirati 15y agoSpookify is like a halloween version of Instagram :)
- SurfScore 15y agoLooks like a well done app, not very original, but that doesn't mean much. If you can position it right and gain some traction, you should be able to hit the top of the charts by halloween
- djangle 15y agoNice. Another similar app is http://www.demoncam.com/ http://www.demoncam.com/
- chriseidhof 15y agoNice! When I played around with CI I noticed that a lot of filters were still missing, almost all the filters I needed... how are your findings in this regard?
- andreasklinger 15y agoAdd a function that shows ghosts are shaded figures/faces in dark spots of group pictures. And explain that there is the strongest XYZenergy the phone cpuld detect. Offer an option to facebook tag the people in the group picture - go viral
