Just wanted to reply to a couple of new comments on the Google Play Store for the Android App. I can't reply on the store itself - so hope the authors will read this (via Feedhammer!). I'd also like to give everyone a quick update on current developments.
First - to the last couple of comments:
Great app Great app. Any chance of a donate version to get rid of the adds
Firstly - thanks! And thanks for taking the time to give some feedback - very, very! much appreciated! As to a donate/no ad version - I've been thinking about a few options in this area. Rather than just jump in and do another version with no ads for a fee - the approach I *think* I favour would be a no ad/extra feature version paid for on a yearly subscription basis. It would be optional - and a very, very small charge (pence) - but it would be interesting to look at that model - and just see how it works. It wouldn't come close to covering the hosting costs of this thing (at the moment - I'm building this to scale to a *lot* of data down the line) - but it would be an interesting exercise. That would be a bit further down the line though - and I'm planning some questionnaires and getting direct feedback before doing anything like that.. Hopefully by that point I'd have had more time to try do more advertising and build more of a community around the site - got loads of ideas, just not enough time (I want to build something that you guys feel is useful - pointless otherwise!)
Great app I love this app, it's my go to place for all things war hammer.
Awesome! Comments like that are why I'm sat on the floor now - typing this on a laptop balanced on an inflatable mattress at 11pm on a Friday night...
On that point - I've basically moved into a new *temporary* flat while working away. No internet access set up yet (tethering from a 3G connection at the moment). Working on 2 key strands at the moment - on the back end - I'm looking to migrate the whole infrastructure to Amazon EC2 (from Rackspace OpenStack) - that's running MySQL, Glassfish, Apache, Squid on Ubuntu servers. Trying to get it done before attending a training day in London with Amazon next week, but Glassfish isnt playing nice...
On the other strand - I really need to get an iPhone version available asap! I want to run some adverts - but really need an iPhone version available first.
Android is a native app - and I initially looked at doing the same for iPhone. But Im changing tack and going the PhoneGap/Cordova route - which will allow me to write one app - and deploy it on Android/iPhone/Windows/Blackberry... It may mean one step backwards initially for the android version - but will make it much better down the line (I *hope*!)
Anyway - more of that to follow! Thanks again for your comments/reviews - if you use/like the app and haven't left a review yet - please, please do!
Oh - and a shout-out to the guys at FoodHammer - just saw your mail - thanks for getting in touch! Unfortunately my web access and admin console is in a state of flux. Can't do much more than give you a tweet tonight guys - check them out - Michigans premiere WH40K charity event!!
