Wanted to learn JVM internals by writing a compiler. Just started, decided to make a toy JVM impl of Swift. Very early and I don't have a lot of free time. https://github.com/cretz/gulliver
That's pretty sweet, I'll be watching!

#222I'm working on PhoneCard, a service to make cheap international phone calls without requiring a data connection. You enter the phone number in the webapp and it calls you. Next time you're using poor hotel wifi or you're frustrated with skype (e.g. multiple disconnects per hour), try PhoneCard for a high-quality call. PhoneCard can call most places in the world, and in some countries you can also purchase incoming nu…

#223Earlier quoted context omitted.
How are you handling the actual accessing of user's finance data? Automatically via API? Or having them maintain a ledger?
For now it's manual input. A lot of folks balk at this, but I find I do better when I'm forced to thoughtfully engage with my budget. For example, my wife and I are primarily concerned about improving our grocery spending. This means that we only have to input spending 2 or 3 times each week. It's really not a burden, and really helps keep our use of the app simple. All of the other spending that goes through our che…
My wife was using zaim.net (it's in Japanese, but similar principle), and I asked her if it doesn't bother her to enter everything manually. She said it's not a bother, and indeed a part of the enjoyment of tracking her spending.
For me it seems like a real hassle, but for some it's part of what makes it work for them.
Keep it simple! It might not fit everybody, but I think it could work great for enough people. Good luck launching this.

#224Working on updating my current alarm clock app http://www.spinmealarm.com to have a social aspect that will gamify your wake up experience.
Do you ever plan to bring this to Android? In this day and age, it'd be a shame if you didn't.

#226I work on DriveDroid on and off. It's an Android app where you can 'host' ISO/IMG files as if they were real CD/USB drives. It makes it possible to, for example, boot your PC from your phone with live Linux distros.

#227Just finished up my first Android app: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.alixander....
hey, am just wondering when you say 'first android app', have you made other apps for another os (iOS obviously) or this is your first app?
am intrested in knowing the "context switch" on app development, from iOS to android and vice versa

#230I'm working on ConvoSpot (SnapChat for YikYak) iOS App. ConvoSpot creates small, temporary, geo-based chat rooms (convospots) so you can chat with people around you, and within a few hours, the messages vanish and are purged from our systems. App Store: https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/convospot/id856444697 Site: http://www.convospot.com/ The project has been a lot of fun and I've learned a lot. We released version 2…
Though I'd give it a go but Facebook login on iOS fails for me.
Sam,
Thanks for giving it a go. You can login without a FB account by signing up for ConvoSpot account. This is the first we've heard about an error with the FB login, we'll take a look.
I'd like to hear your thoughts on the app, feel free to contact me: matt [at] jetrobotlabs [dot] com
Thanks. Matt
