ha! – the vanity app!

that’s what i’m calling it because i cannot think of a better name for it right now and i’m only saying what your probably thinking about it.

kukuapps (nottingham) approached me before i came out and asked if i would be a brand advocate for their ipad application which is like a super lite flipboard style information turning app.

we only had a few days before coming out so lucy pulled together something quickly that might work that we could iterate quickly and i could feedback once i got back on. it worked out pretty well.

one of the best things about doing apps building and iterating ontheground is using something like testflightapp to push apps really quickly to get version feedback from those using it in the field.

while i was in austin for instance the team managed to push a version with a video embedded into the app that i managed to install and sync all from my wifi connection without having to sync with a machine – it’s a boon for developers, they just need your device udid to be able to push apps to your device.

people seemed to like the quick flicking nature of going through my four major projects and were very interested in the ark and the jackets. i need to do more work on my blog to pull that into categories when i get back.

as for the application i’m hoping that i can work with the kukuapps teams to add some much needed features into the application so i can grab someones email address, also utilizing the ipad2 camera to grab feedback about each page would be brilliant.

i’ll be talking to kukuapps about a more advanced app when i get back that can have a few lightweight dynamic elements that i can charge for in the store.

the ark really needs an app just for it alone – pulling a variety of content from different services that i have tagged under my accounts.

right, i’m sitting here in austin waiting for my plane to houston unable to push this out because i gone through my thirty minutes of allocated time – time for lunch.
