Release 2008.02 of Mobilogger
Thursday, May 22, 2008
I have just released my new open source project. I call this baby Mobilogger.
It started when I participated in Google’s Android Developer Challenge. I didn’t qualify for the second round (out of 1,788 entries), but it was fun and educating experience. First time in years actually writing software for embedded/mobile device was actually fun.
Mobilogger is a mobile blogging application. You install it to your Android-based device (whenever those hit the market), configure your blog into the app and you can start posting.
I tend to only write software on my free time that’s useful to me. With Mobilogger I hope to be finally able to post blog entries here more often when in pointless meeting or when sitting in the bus. This is the design goal of Mobilogger; whether it’s video, pictures or text, posting entries should be as easy and quick as writing SMSes.
Anyway, in case you are looking for a cool mobile application for blogging when the Android devices come out or just want to contribute to the project, go to google code and join the team!
It’s been a while when I got to contribute to the cause, so this feels good. The current version of the app was a lot of work but it has been well worth it. I actually tried to write the same application on Symbian too during last year but got frustrated with the buggy tools and generally very annoying platform.
Now we just need to wait for the actual Android phones to hit the market.
