When I started this weekend development program (More details here) I hardly knew this weekend experiment product will be used by users :) Well, as I can see now, I have certain user base who are using this product. A hearty thanks for trying this app out. However, for a couple of weekends I was occupied with some stuff and hence could not develop it further. It looks like this weekend I am free (as of now), so thought of giving this app a new version. For those who have no idea what I am talking about, you might want to read this before you proceed with this article.
Well, so here we are with the target features:
1. One option to save your data (Yes, and I mean save) in android device. Did I say that this is not allowed as per Wordnik policy? Well, I had a discussion with them and it looks like certain form of data can be stored without violating the policy. So, here we go. You will be able to save the data you like to view offline.
2. Word of the day feature. Everyday a new word. Sounds good deal for learners? It is for me. I sometimes wonder how I can survive speaking, writing and listening to English without knowing 80% of its vocabulary. I would love to have it :)
3. An iPhone version of this app. Some of my friends like Neeraj asked me whether there will be any iphone version of it. Lets have it this time, what say? Thanks Neeraj for triggering this thought in my mind :)
4. Will provide the bundled software this time provided the copyright issue is resolved. If not, then probably you need to wait some more time. Yes, I know this sucks. So does life :)
For two days of development these are enough I guess. Of course there are some usability enhancements, and some code level changes to optimize the performance. I won't disclose them here. Lets see if you can find the change in your user experience.
I hope you all will like it. The development to commence from 11 May 2012 night to 13 May 2012 midnight or till I can stay up :)
Once again, this is an open call. If you are willing to join me in developing apps and learning android, please feel free to drop a comment. Will contact you.
Thanks for your time in reading my blog.
See you this weekend.
