iPhone version of our blog
This is a story about the power of Rails.
It all started two days ago, when Seth Godin and Guy Kawasaki blogged about Appmakr.com. It allowed you to have an app in the Appstore based on your own RSS feed. The price they ask for this is $199,-
I believe that the appstore shouldn’t be polluted with RSS feeds. They should be websites instead of apps. Websites can have their own icon on the iPhone’s home screen.
With this in mind, I started to scaffold on my way back home. Commute by train is a bless.
The following gems were already installed:
I had used http://code.google.com/p/iui/ before.
Within two hours, http://iphonify.net/ was born. It allows anyone to claim their own url. For example, the iPhone version of this blog can be found at http://iphonify.net/ifdev.
If it weren’t for Rails - and the amazing plugins - I would have never been able to build this site that fast.
