Hi all, I'm a Singaporean developer and I'm here to tell you that I'm sick of idiots posting/bragging their daily life on Facebook, I mean, if you want to do that, why not do it so that I can ACTUALLY use that information next time? Thankfully, I'm a developer and I can actually do something about it.
WHAT IF, those stupid FOOD pictures taken at the restaurant actually POP UP the next time I am hungry and near that area? WHAT IF those slutty clubbing pictures could actually help me pick a club when I want to go? So here's my solution.
Spawt is a location-based experience bookmarking service so now you could actually point those idiots to the app and actually end up building a beautiful scrapbook of experiences that you and your friends can mutually share and discover.
Features
- Bookmark a great experience by creating a Checkpoint.
- Contextually discover interesting experiences from fellow Spawtters based on your current location.
* Spawt believes that your friends' experiences matter more, so your Facebook friends' Checkpoints will be treated as first class citizens.
- Builds a catalog of Checkpoints that will serve as a scrapbook of experiences for when you need an inspiration on what to do next.
- No need to create a whole new social network, leverages your existing Facebook network.
* Note, we send NOTHING back to Facebook, your privacy is MY topmost concern. (I should know, I'm a Facebook cynic.)
Download the app and tell me what you make of it, and most importantly how I can go on making it better for you and your friends. Search for "Spawt Beta" or get it here: https://play.google.com/store/apps/...result#?t=W251bGwsMSwxLDEsImNvbS5jdHJsZWZmIl0.
PS: Oh did I mention Galaxy S2 kicks ass?
PSS: Oh also, if the app does crash, and it will, please click Report so I can fix it so you can swear a little bit less when the next update comes.
This is a seriously fantastic idea. One think that may be a good idea to add would be to be able to use pictures from your gallery, rather than your camera, when making a new checkpoint. I'm really loving the GUI, thank you !
Sent from my GT-I9100 using XDA
thanks for trying out the app! definitely a feature in the backlog.

[I posted similar idea recently, but now I have some new stuff, so hoping to get someones attention]
Idea: An application that would scroll RSS feeds on Home screen in Manila.
Of course, such an app isn't hard to make, the RSS Hub saves its channels into simple files - the problem is how to incorporate it into Home screen.
Well, I got an idea for that as well! Recently a small program called Personalizer showed up that enables us to change the network provider name into anything we want - that would be the perfect place for RSS scroller to show up! And since there already exists a way to modify this data, I suppose it would be possible to use Personalizer as backdoor for the feeds to show up in that text filed!
Even if they wouldn't actually "scroll", I believe they could be made to change every 4-5 seconds.
Then the only issue remaining is how to make those feeds clickable...
This is all theorycraft, of course, but I think it's still worth a shot.
I love this idea!
Unfortunately, no one seems to be interested to give this a try
i would love such an app too!
I think a better implementation would be to make a seperate TF3D tab for RSS feed (like they did months ago with the calendar/call history/Communications tabs). This way we could have tabs (in the RSS tab) which would allow for switching between various feed sources (CNN, BBC, etc). I think this could be easier to implement as well.
And one again, I'l love this feature too. (as well as more facebook intergration, so it renames contact to the linked facebook name, and gets email address if provided on facebook instead of just pic and bday)
This would be one of the best additions to touchFlo 3D in a while. i would actually pay for a nice working version. It should have its own RSS Tab with sub tabs. We should put donations up for whoever come up with this. I have $20 US on this. This should be promoted.
Please someone take this up.
why dont you get yourself a good dataplan / dataflatrate for this 20$?
Then there is no more need for pushinternet, rss and all this stuff.

FYI that makes no sense. You still need a dataplan to use 'pushinternet, rss and all this stuff.' Such additions just a better way to integrate the extra features, making them faster and more user friendly.
Silly you
Would be a great idea if this took off as I use RSS all the time and it would be so much more convenient if it was on a tab.

I think you don't get the idea of this tools. you use pushinternet and rss in order to view online content while you don't have an internet connection. but why should u use outdated and cutted information when you can have internetaccess anytime? silly you.

i do have that data plan u are talking about. i just think this is a good idea.
Oh, definitively would love a separate tab in TF3D, as well!
Basically, I would be happy with ANY way to implement RSS feeds directly into TF3D, whether it's via a special tab, or a scrolling bar... Whatever!
I'm not giving up on it. I didn't give up on Manila high-res wallpaper and a month later we got 3 applications that solve the damn low-res wallpaper issue.
So, lets hope the same principle works for this ))

Lol you miss the entire point of the idea of an RSS tab. If I'm using a feed, I want to know what's happening now, not 12 hours ago. If old, outdated information works for you then great, no need for you to post pointless posts to get data plans. Not to mention the convenience that a RSS tab would bring. Hopefully someone will be able to integrate it into TF3D

I think you mixed up something
feeds, podcasts etc. have no live information. the real internet does!
if i browse the internet, newspages etc i get fresh news. if you download an rss feed and read it later, you have old information. and most rss feeds have only very little information, most of them give you 3 sentences and a link for their webpage, where you can read more.
so, the idea of an rss tab is not bad! but its only useful for people, who dont have a good dataplan to grab news instantly.

Sorry but I think you're missing the point a little bit. I have 20+ RSS feeds and it would be fantastic to have these on a tab. Although I have a very good dataplan, I don't have the time to go to 20+ websites every 30 mins to see if there's something interesting. I go to the website maybe 1 in 30 RSS feeds for more info but I do like to be kept up to date on what is new on the websites concerned.
Just my twopenneth worth.

that's the exact reason i want the extra tab. who wants to go on slow ass 3g networks to check out websites when i can get it in an rss feed. i live in nyc and take the subway a lot so there is noway i can use the data plan underground making rss feeds perfect for me. adding it to TF3D would make it a lot more convenient for browsing instead of opening an application.
Exactly
I've posted a request for an extra tab for RSS a while ago in the Diamond section (since I owned a Diamond then). I would be happy to join the dev team with some UI designs...

Man those screen shots are nice. i wish this would get some more attention becuz its a great idea. htc might even steal it lol. the stocks tab was nice but a full news tab would be alot nicer. come on people we need some donations maybe then we will get some attention. i have $25 dollars on this.
Hi All,
I was wondering if anyone else had 2 issues I've run across since using the Facebook app from Marketplace:
1) Sometime when posting comments, it doesnt send to post, anyone have this problem?
2) Does the Facebook app always have to be re-freshed to see whats been posted instead of it notifying you when something gets posted?
3) I know everyone has the photo album not displaying issue I do too, but when I go to HTC Album, I have a freaking list of folders with either pix or no pix, how to I make them not appear in the HTC album when I am picking albums to view?
Thanx
I had the same issues as 1 and 2 and gave up on the app. I use the mobile website for everything except uploading pics, in which case I use the application.
Kind of a pain until someone smarter than me comes up with a good app.
Sux, dont want to use the website, I know they have it working on the blackberry where its real time updates, you'd think they would have done that with this lite app, whats the point of refreshing manually.
the app is pretty worthless, i rarely use it. the manual refresh is horrible. It'll only download the latest (say 25) posts, and if there are 35 new posts on your wall/feed and you refresh, it will only update 25, and when you scroll through them, it would go from the last of the latest 25 to the latest of when you previously refreshed so there would be a gap in your feed...
i use touch.facebook.com and lite.facebook.como via opera mobile and works out very well.
i no longer attempt to use it to post comments because what i found out is its posting on random old posts. it can cause you to say some things you really dont mean.
my other real issue is it will only load the first photo in an album and just sit there rather than opening the next. and of course you cant see who likes a post. hopefully microsoft will fix these little issues so it will be as complete as it is on an iphone or android.
TJoC,
Thanks for the laugh, Microsoft does as little as possible, and in their eyes it works, Being a expert in windows, dont expect MS to be adding anything to this app, MS rather have you jump to a 3rd party. The one that SHOULD make the app is Facebook themselves. But who are we? Just barnicles on the end of a stick.
I went so far to try the Xperia X1 panel facebook, as much as I like its functionality it also lacks simple basic features, like the ability to comment, like/dislike. You would think someone would be smart enough.
Your right, facebook does need to create the app.. They created the app for the iphone and android, what blackberry? did facebook create that or was that RIM?
also since WP7 is due to be released soon, i think MS dropped the development for this as social networking is a big focus for WP7
MS drops everything trying to make the big buck, if they set a dept up to take care of the little things like this, they'd be amazed how all the little cents would add up. They crippled WinMo 7, from everything I have heard and read, I'll stick to the flexibility of 6.5, not that its great, but sure beats the choking factor. If they are so big on social networking, they sure dropped the ball on that front.
I just get it installed and have a new account for it. Looking for friend, wonder if anyone here use it
my Foursquare
Foursquare name : Scotty Bob
I'm pretty sure FourSquare uses user names, so you probably do NOT want to list your (I'm assuming) device Live Account email address on a public forum...
Please edit your post and list the user name instead, for your own sanity's sake.
well sometimes using just a name isn't sufficient enough to find somebody, u'll get 50+ people with the same name.
Edited. Just shoot me a request. Just want to have some friend on Foursquare account.

If this forum required a login to view posts it probably wouldn't be a big deal. But these threads show up in searches and the pages get cached. I doubt the amount of junk and scammer/phishin mail that can result form posting your email address on a public open forum is worth meeting some random forum hoppers on foursquare.
That's just my opinion, and of course I'm just looking out for him...

You are right about publishing email on Open Forum, But they will have a problem when trying to add each other, should i write the email like (example (US Hotmail) ...)

You should be giving out your foursquare username, not your e-mail address or the name that foursquare displays.
This is the name you sign-in with (not your phone number or e-mail address). You can also find this name when visiting your profile - www.foursquare.com/yourUSERnameHERE.

Kinda prefer 4th & Mayor. 4sq didn't quite hit the right spots for me. Performance could be better. 4th & Mayor makes it a lot more easier to check-in faster. Iono opinions differ. But WP7 is awesome either way

I felt this initially too, but the more I use 4sq, the more I like it. They also make improvements to it that actually IMPROVE it.
Also, loved that I can create new locations using the app and not having to go through the website.
4th & Mayor doesn't work for me on Mango after you check-in, it gives me a black screen. Also, the live tile for the official app is amazing.
I agree. I love the official app now. I wasn't sure at first, but now I use it all the time. It also makes for a pretty impressive app to show off WP7.

I agree with you there... I was a 4th & Mayor user and made the move to the official app with caution. But its so damn awesome and it looks great, not to mention last update tweaked its performance a bit.

Foursquare is official, but 4th of Mayor is made from other person right?
I am currently having both of them on my list..

The original Foursquare app that came for WP7 was very slow, weak and lacking features. When 4th & Mayor came out, Foursquare removed theirs and advised people to start using 4&M, which we did and we loved it.
But now they came with this new Foursquare app which is just amazing... shows whats possible with WP7, and I for one am loving it.
Definitely prefer 4th and Mayor because its simple and fast. I don't think the panorama view lends itself well to long lists of locations. Pivots are much better at displaying loads of information in a more logical, filtered view.
That being said, the new official app is nice, but just a bit overdone and flashy IMO. Plus its still slow despite some recent updates.

It still needs some performance tweaks, that is true, but its a great app and it looks awesome (my iPhone and BB friends all love it).

I had a similar experience. I ran the app for a group of teenagers (all iPhone users), and they were all pretty impressed and just a bit jealous.
Some body just added me yesterday...
Someone in Lynchburg,VA
I kicked him down to 2nd Place in 7-days High Score today because i visted whole bunch of places (Went to Movie with my girl, went to coffee, Went to HTC Warranty Room, HTC Showroom...)

Hi everyone!
We're looking for testers for our photo processing app named Pho.to Lab. It's a collection of more than 500 photo effects. These are mostly photo frames and photo montages. All the effects are applied automatically, so the app works more like Instagram filters rather than Photoshop. Warning: it needs Internet connection to process photos. If you're going to use cellphone data, you better not.
Pho.to Lab has been on the market since 2011, but we have completely redesigned the new version. I've attached some screenshots to compare the versions so you can see how different they are. And this difference is the reason why we are looking for testers.
View attachment 2168443View attachment 2168444
We're looking for feedback on two things. The first one is, obviously, any kind of bugs. Weird fonts, erratic shadows, stuff like that. You know,he app redesign can work bad on devices with extremely small or large resolutions or ppi. The second thing you could tell us is if you ike the app design. Was it obvious how to use it? Did the app do what you expected?
To get access to the app, join XDA Android App testers community or Pho.to Lab Beta community. Then follow this link and, pretty please, read what Play Market says you. Just in case you don't feel like reading it: opt-in first, then click the link below, then click 'Install' button.
Feel free to ping me anywhere. This thread, PMs, comments in one of the communities, and G+ messages are welcome. And please remember that I live in Eastern Europe. If you're from America and you're posting your comment in evening, I might very well be sleeping. So don't worry if I don't answer your questions or comments immediately, I'll definitely get back to you a little later.
Please check out Pho.to Lab and thank you!
Hello everybody,
We are a two member team with an application idea that we think could be useful for a lot of people. We have a list of features and a complete UI design plan. A video showing the features is also being created.
The application is intended to handle the notifications in a smarter way. To achieve that, we need a Google Chrome extension also. (Please notify us in your e-mail, whether you have already experience in developing Chrome extensions!).
With a simple and easy to use interface, this app is only intended for doing a few things, but doing those efficiently and fast.
We do not have a business, or any money. Our payment for a developer would be a % cut of the revenues, or we could try crowdfunding the idea. If it works out, we could partner up for future projects too, because we have an another app idea also (it is significantly bigger and much harder to make).
If you are interested in more details and UI design pictures, PM, or send an email to [email protected]
Please only write if you think that this idea has potential. If you have previous experience from developing an app, please include a link of that in your message.
Thank you!
