PREtty Cute Suite -Another Cute app for Pre from me!

By admin // App, GirlieMac! News, Palm, WebKit // 3 Comments

Can’t have enough cute!
Instead of upgrading my previous app, iCuteOverload for Palm, I have created this power-up version of cute app called, PREtty Cute Suite.

This app is more offensively and obnoxiously cute with more cute-related rss feed and flickr pics.
Included feeds are:

Cute Overload
I Can Has Cheezburger
Cute Obssesion
Epicute
Super Cute Kawaii
Cupcakes Take Tha Cake

Also, a bunch of cute picture streams from Flickr.

This app allows you to save the pix/feeds you like as your favorites, also share the links via email.

Currently available as a “Homebew” app on PreCentral.net for free.
I have no plan to submit this to the Palm official app store in this moment, at least for this version 0.9.

My First WebOS App – iCuteOverload for Palm v1.0

By admin // App, Dev, Girlie Stuff, GirlieMac! News, Palm, SDK, WebKit // 6 Comments

As a front-end web developer, also a mobile-web developer, the Palm’s new WebOS SDK for Pre sounds very attractive, and I could not wait to create some applications although I am still a iPhone user and haven’t been convinced to switch a service provider.

Then I felt like, I already got this web app, iCuteoverload for iPhone but yeah why not for Pre? So I decide to re-create the same app from scratch. Sure, the existing app is a web app that wrote with JavaScript framework iUI and PHP, does run fine on Pre’s web browser since Pre is based on Webkit browser. However, I wanted to make this app a standalone client with Mojo framework so I needed to code from scratch.

Anyway, here it is, iCO for Palm is now available at PreCentral. The official store is not yet open, so the installing the app may require a bit of geeky skills, but if you happen to be a Pre user and would like to try, follow this tutorial on how to install homebrew apps on Pre for Mac users (And this is for Windows users instruction).

By the way, I keep this app name begins with i, because I already have named so for iPhone and wanted to keep it for consistency. However, in Pre community, this seems to be a pretty bad thing to do. People see me as a clueless Apple fan

iPhone App – MuniApp for San Francisco Muni riders!

By admin // App, GirlieMac! News, iPhone, iPod, UI/UX // 3 Comments

Ta-da, finally there’s an app for that! – I mean an iPhone native app that I involved is available on App Store!

This app is called, MuniApp, and this gives you access to San Francisco’s MUNI transit system on the go with real time predictions for buses, metro and cable cars.

I have worked on some UI and icons, while my friend Alberto has coded all the Obj.C. We are both SF residents and rely on MUNI pretty frequently and we do use this app on daily basis. Honestly, this is really simple and useful app
