Offline Buyer for iPhone teaser

Ok, some of you may know I have been toying around with an iPhone app idea. Mostly for my own usage, but I know it could be used for some others. So here's the deal I propose: I'll show the current alpha version screenshots, collect feedback, make some (pertinent, viable and not too complicated!) bug fixes last minute changes adaptations. Then I'll launch a beta version to some lucky/brave volunteers. After a reasonable amount of time and good experiences (will depend on the comments flow) I'll deploy the application to the App Store. This is going to be a great tool for Buxfer users, and since it's my first application, I'll put a symbolic price tag of 1$ (0.79€). This will hopefully help me cover the iPhone developer program. If that goal is reached, following application extensions and future applications may be free of charge. But let's face it, 1$ per user is a lot easier to fit than 99$ on myself... At least for me!

Without further ado, here it is a flicker screenshot set. Feel free to ignore or offer constructive criticisms about the visual. Yes, the weird little square on the top right of the transaction addition screen is also the application icon. Hey, I do this in my spare time, ok? :)

MyToons Animation

Ahoy! This is my week-end fun post. So you find yourself bored. nothing to do. Have an HD screen ready to show beautiful things, but don't feel like national geographic, the latest movie or even a ps3 game. Just vegetate a bit more into MyToons and discover a whole world of animations waiting for you. I started peeking at the site from its early beta versions, and I must tell you both the site and its contents made a huge jump in the last year! So go ahead. Choose the "All Things HD" Channel, and browse away, or click the first and let them play. There's some really neat stuff there!

Muxtape With Coverflow Using Fluid

[In the link] Below is a quick tutorial on harnessing the power of Fluid’s new thumbnail plugin to create a simple Muxtape application with sweet coverflow previews of the featured mixes.

[From Muxtape With Coverflow Using Fluid]
I just checked this fantastic usage for a desktop web application. First, let's say thanks to the mind behind Muxtape. For a photographer, Justin sure knows how to keep things simple enough to be just great! But if we leave the main functionality if muxtape behind, its homepage is sort of... less than useful! So enter Fluid. I know, I know, Mozilla's lab project Prism can do exactly the same and is multi-platform. But can it create a fantastic coverflow view of a set of pages thumbnails? Well, [without some not-yet-developed XUL-based add-ons, ] no. That's one more reason for me to love me having entered the Mac world! But seriously. If you don't want to try it because it's too hard, just take a look at the video screen cast in the link above, and see for yourself. It's 2 minute easy (with fluid download times included :) )
Let's all hand some kudos for Justin!
