iOS / Android App

[alex-LE]

Whats about create a iOS and/or Android App using Titanium?

• we can create a small API to communicate with myTinyTodo.
• it's more navtive than the mobile CSS (faster?)

but i need someone to design it ;-)

do not use anything from above - deside yourself :)

I really like the idea, but we need developers that know the platforms...

[alex-LE]

Thats not that problem, i would prefer using Titanium - The app will be developed using JS/CSS/HTML but the result is a native app (not only a html view, real native elements) - we can provide it via app store

[jniggemann]

Doesn't it cost $$ to publish via Google Play? I don't know about Apple but I'm fairly sure that Google charges developers for just "being there"...

[alex-LE]

I don't know how Google handles it, but a Apple-Developer-License (to be able to use the app store) will cost $99 per year

[jniggemann]

IIRC Google charges sth like $25 as a registration fee for developers...

what about a more mobile app like looking theme: http://www.jqtouch.com/preview/demos/todo/ (preview on iphone or webkit)

Hi!

@license: At the beginning IMHO there is no need to make the app available in Google Play Store (and pay the/a fee). I.e. you can put it into the F-Droid FLOSS Repository at http://f-droid.org.

@app: More interesting – for me – is to have offline and syncing functionalities at my mobile. I would more wish iCal and CalDav support. – What do you think?

Thanks and best regards!

Hi sokai, do you think offline support is needed? If you your yourTinyTodo on your mobile, you should have internet anyway. It may not be a problem to use a offline database, but the sync process can be difficult (for ex. some make changes on the online version and another one on the offline, that might be hard to sync).

IMHO you should first provide a XML-RPC API. Then people would be keen on developping apps.

tt-rss is a good example : http://tt-rss.org/redmine/projects/tt-rss/wiki/FeatureList It provides a XML-RPC API and then you have apps (1 official and 1 another unofficial) that use this API. https://play.google.com/store/search?q=tt-rss

[alex-LE]

It seems that they have a new json API and the XML-RPC is not recommend:

http://tt-rss.org/redmine/projects/tt-rss/wiki/JsonApiReference

this looks very good

In the current (development) version the ?pad parameter was deleted and the site is not viewable in a clean format on phones any more.

Are there any new ideas for an Android App development? I guess syncronizing would be the most difficult feature, if we want to take the tasks "offline" with us. The other option is to use the "online" feature like described above. A third option would be a "read only" offline version, by using the current .ics file.
