Chandamama iPhone app

Download  from app store here

Yesterday night I submitted an iOS app to Apple for approval, it’s first time ever I have experienced nerdgasm!
Chandamama is one of my favorite comic and I still read it when find old issues, I’m really excited to write an App for it. The first version has support for three languages that is Kannada, Hindi and English, it allows user to read Chandamama archives from 1949 which is exciting the best part is the will be available for free, yes you heard it correctly it is going to be FREE. Basically as C# developer I should live up to Microsoft in naming the product, so I named it “Chandamama Archive Reader”!
I have posted the screenshots of app just give sense of what we are going to get on iPhone/iPod.
The Home screen where you get select language.

Comic View, where we can navigate through pages by swiping on screen and you have option to use Next and Previous Button to navigate and Pinch in and out to zoom

When, you tap on Comic view it enters to full screen mode so you can continue reading comic without  any visual distractions. (I love these vintage ads on comic Smile with tongue out)

You possibly may think that App looks very boring, well, I have few tasks lined up for future release, as one of famous software quote “If always think of future, you never going to release V1.0” so that justifies everything.
If everything goes well it will be available in App store by end of October!

Weekend! There's an app for that

Well I did not had plans for this weekend when woke up on Saturday afternoon morning, Okay, I thought lets write some code, create an app for iPhone. But what app? Apple says "There's an app for that"


I was like without any idea for hours, just thinking what to create. Finally I decided to create an app for StackExchange (Stackoverflow) API. 

Already few fellow community developer listed there apps on the StackApps, but I had whole different idea for my app like. Monitor latest updates, reputation change and answers for your question. I haven't listed it on stackapps yet, it needs still more work of another weekend. Here I have included some screenshots of it.

Homescreen show the list users, you are interested to get the updates for.


When you click the "+" sign on the right top corner, you will be presented a form to include new user.


After you entered user id, app will fetch details from server


Finally, you can see user name and avatar.


Still work in progress you may see lot improvements in later days and I'm planning to include Push notification support
