Hey! I ran the Hot Apps competition when I was the lead developer advocate. I remember Pixi Dust. I was amazed you could get it so fast.
Fun story: there was no internal API for app stats so every morning I had to manually extract data via Excel, then run scripts to generate the JSON that powered the Hot Apps dashboard. Fun times.
- andrewmunsell 4y agoThat's so cool! Of course with so many prizes on the line, I spent quite a bit of time (when I was visiting my grandparents in California none the less) over a weekend hacking together all of the ideas I could think of. It was a really great experience overall, and I'm glad you still remember Pixi Dust :)
- shaneos 4y agoI remember you well!! I think my app Mazer came in second in the free category. Such happy, simpler times https://appcatalog.webosarchive.com/showMuseumDetails.php?search=Mazer&safe=on&app=1508 https://appcatalog.webosarchive.com/showMuseumDetails.php?se...
