is there an app for browsing flickr groups? as far as I'm aware m.flickr.com doesn't allow this

there is an app called Mobile Flickr which is not actually made by flickr that lets you search on flickr groups. its a pretty good app except that it posts the photos you upload upside down.

i have iphone now on iphone :D

someone should make an app called KITCHEN SYNC. i don't know what it does. grocery lists? keeps track of what's in your fridge?

s1ocki, Monday, 21 July 2008 12:18 (fifteen years ago) link

hey, can you re-arrange icons and move em around and stuff?

s1ocki, Monday, 21 July 2008 12:29 (fifteen years ago) link

yeah, press and hold on one of the icons and the screen will go all wobbly, you can then move the icons around

KITCHEN SYNC pushes details of what's in your fridge and store cupboard up to the cloud and effortlessly syncs ON IPHONE so you never run out of olive oil

not a lot of apps there buddy!

what's instapooper?

s1ocki, Monday, 21 July 2008 12:55 (fifteen years ago) link

instapaper is great, it lets you save web pages when you're browsing on your home computer so you can read them offline on iphone

most of the clutter is on page 2, I like page 1 nice and neat

czn, Monday, 21 July 2008 12:56 (fifteen years ago) link

instapaper = fuckn' awesome.

grimly fiendish, Monday, 21 July 2008 12:59 (fifteen years ago) link

yes - although not so good for pages requiring a login (where it doesn't work).

toby, Monday, 21 July 2008 13:33 (fifteen years ago) link

the apps store will give you the Koran for free and you can add different translations for a fee

I think this is awesome

J0hn D., Monday, 21 July 2008 14:21 (fifteen years ago) link

why would you ever need to read anything offline? For the subway?

Tracer Hand, Monday, 21 July 2008 14:23 (fifteen years ago) link

dressing rooms, tour bus when out of range, airplanes - I spend about half my life in these places

J0hn D., Monday, 21 July 2008 14:26 (fifteen years ago) link

plus it's good for downloading image heavy/bigger pages when in wifi range for reading on the go (esp on iphone 2G) given mobilesafari has no cached browsing and edge is dog slow

czn, Monday, 21 July 2008 14:30 (fifteen years ago) link

hell its good for browsing any webpage on the go even in edge range cos edge struggles with anything other than ilx really

sunny successor, Monday, 21 July 2008 15:42 (fifteen years ago) link

how do you make pages into icons?

s1ocki, Monday, 21 July 2008 20:34 (fifteen years ago) link

go to the page. make sure only the part of the page you want on the icon is displayed on yr screen. press + . press add to home screen.

sunny successor, Monday, 21 July 2008 20:38 (fifteen years ago) link

Some pages make an icon for you eg google but most you do the way i described above

sunny successor, Monday, 21 July 2008 20:40 (fifteen years ago) link

ahhh.

nytimes app is mad slow. maybe i should just page that up.

Is Terminal a jailbreak thing?

stet, Monday, 21 July 2008 23:29 (fifteen years ago) link

jeez netnewswire is AWFUL.

jeez netnewswire is AWFUL.

Give the guy a break, he's busy cranking out updates on a daily basis. From his blog: http://inessential.com/?comments=1&postid=3505

I’ve been working like crazy on updates to NetNewsWire for iPhone — but, unfortunately, updates aren’t being pushed to the App Store yet. I don’t know why, though I imagine it’s just that things are crazy in the early days.

I don’t know when updates will go out — wish I did.

In the meantime, here’s what I’ve been doing, and here’s the plan:

1. I’ve been fixing bugs and performance issues, and implementing some of the more obvious features. (Not done yet, but getting there.)

Some of the obvious features include things like email-link, choose-clippings-folder, send-to-Twitterrific, mark-as-unread, and remove-feed-from-iPhone-location.

The plan is to finish this up — make stable and fleshed-out the app as it exists right now.

2. Then I’ll revisit the user interface. A number of people have asked for something like a Combined View, where you see excerpts of news items. A reasonable request, absolutely. But the plan is to shore things up in #1 first, then move on to this, once there’s a stable base with a more complete set of features.

Again, I have no idea when any updates will actually appear. But I have indeed been working as quickly as I can — I’ve been pretending to myself that you’re actually getting the updates. ;) (Though not completely satisfying, the pretense fools me enough to keep me going.)

PS Here are my change notes since last Friday:

(version history continues at link)

Elvis Telecom, Tuesday, 22 July 2008 02:42 (fifteen years ago) link

The app store is still only showing v1.0 for NNW, but it's up to 1.0.4 now.

Elvis Telecom, Tuesday, 22 July 2008 02:45 (fifteen years ago) link

terminal is jailbreak only, sorry

czn, Tuesday, 22 July 2008 08:30 (fifteen years ago) link

Not that I have an iPhone, but I do love NetNewsWire on the desktop. That said, the Newsgator service is terrible, randomly decides it can read feeds and can't due to "malformed" code that reads perfectly fine in every other newsreader, on- and off-line. If you have to use Newsgator Online to sync your feeds just like with the desktop version... eh.

Nhex, Tuesday, 22 July 2008 08:40 (fifteen years ago) link

i just find the fact that you can't collapse your feed folders makes it pretty much unusable. also super jerky and slow.

s1ocki, Tuesday, 22 July 2008 13:06 (fifteen years ago) link

i got truphone and it seems to work pretty well... it's a voip app, 6c a minute in n america. do you think skype is coming though?

still, the ability to make cheap long distance calls & not use up my minutes is pretty incredible. only works over wifi natch but i make pretty much all my LDCs from home anyway.

s1ocki, Tuesday, 22 July 2008 13:08 (fifteen years ago) link

is anyone else finding the gps kinda inaccurate? mine tends to be off by like 3 blocks.

s1ocki, Tuesday, 22 July 2008 18:47 (fifteen years ago) link

Mine is scary-accurate. Remember, GPS doesn't work well indoors, so if you are indoors, it may just give you the location of the nearest cell tower.

schwantz, Tuesday, 22 July 2008 18:52 (fifteen years ago) link

ahhh

s1ocki, Tuesday, 22 July 2008 18:58 (fifteen years ago) link

fuck me, they *need* to be releasing that netnewswire upgrade ASAP. it's just crashed on me so hard it reset the bloody phone.

and, heh, opening it again takes it right back to, umm, the bit where it crashed. so it hangs all over again.

hoping syncing sorts it out ...

grimly fiendish, Tuesday, 22 July 2008 21:29 (fifteen years ago) link

oh for fuck's sake. it doesn't. that is lame, lame, lame-ass fuckwittery.

grimly fiendish, Tuesday, 22 July 2008 21:33 (fifteen years ago) link

that sucks a yard of dick. had to remove NNW/resync/set it up again. not the end of the world, no, but a pain.

problem seems to be with feeds that have a shitload of unread stories in them. just FYI, like.

grimly fiendish, Tuesday, 22 July 2008 21:50 (fifteen years ago) link

I like the Wordpress app so far.

Catsupppppppppppppp dude 茄蕃, Tuesday, 22 July 2008 21:59 (fifteen years ago) link

i've heard from many sources that either iphone developer terms prohibit "turn by turn" guidance or that something or other about the iphone makes this impractical.

is this be true? if so, what does it mean?

moonship journey to baja, Tuesday, 22 July 2008 22:01 (fifteen years ago) link

i think the gps isn't accurate enough or somethin

s1ocki, Tuesday, 22 July 2008 22:24 (fifteen years ago) link

Yeh, it's in the terms -- you can't make any app that provides "live" route guidance.
