The folks over at installer.apps have just published a list of their top 50 iphone apps. I’m very pleased to see that MobileCast ranked #7 overall! Thanks to all of you who gave us postive ratings over on installerapps
podgrove just got a search function that makes finding feeds for mobilecast a whole lot easier. Head on over to the search page and enter your query:
We’re using rails with ferret to power these searches. Ferret is basically an implementation of Apache Lucene in ruby, so you can leverage the lucene query syntax when your [...]
In just 24 little hours (to paraphrase a great song) - we’ve had 70 odd downloads of the latest 2.2.4 Beta!.
Thats a pretty significant bump from the 10-20 per day that we were seeing when folks had to manually grab the latest mobilecast drop & ssh it over to their phones.
As always we appreciate your [...]
I just posted MobileCast 2.2.4 Beta drop 113 (the numbers are based upon the svn revision) to the Installer.App via our source. There are 2 significant things about this drop:
1. Were testing out a new icon, the plan is to rotate all the mobilecast icons that have been contributed over the next couple of svn [...]
As of the latest svn drop of mobilecast you can now backup & restore your OPML to podgrove. Once you’ve backed up your opml, it’ll be available at http://www.podgrove.com/opml. You will need to either have podgrove login info in your http session, or you will be prompted for your your podgrove account infomation. If you [...]
This is of little relevance to MobileCast users - you’ll probably only find this post of interest if your building an app and want to reuse some source code from mobilecast.
We have had to switch our license from Apache 2.0 to GPLv3. This is because we are now deriving from the GPLv3 code over at [...]
update: 3/17/08 added images.
Staying up to date with the latest & greatest development snapshots of MobileCast just got a whole lot easier. You no longer need to roll your sleeves up & get dirty with ssh as we now have our very own repository which you can add as a source to installer.app on your [...]
Also in our latest svn drop is the first user visible integration with PodGrove. You can now add feeds to mobilecast via podgrove.com saving you having to type them in on the iphones keyboard. Personally I’ve got pretty used to the iphone keyboard for texting & even doing the occasional email but I’ve always found [...]
Thanks to iphone-insomnia mobilecast is now able to keep wifi active while your podcasts are downloading. Please check out the latest svn.
This means that we will probably have to chance our license from Apache to GPLv3, which is something that I’ve got no issue with given the benefit of this new feature
Apparently I was so awestruck by the new streaming feature in mobilecast that I failed to notice that in recent svn versions it would only stream when your connected via wifi. i.e. rather than playing the downloaded file it’d just ignore it & try streaming it instead
Thanks to jkmullins & cgarson for [...]
