Re:Twitter: It's time to open source your Android app on Thursday December 15, 2011 @12:01PM (#3356900)

It's better for the overall ecosystem. Higher quality apps means more time spent on your phone. If we can't duplicate the features of the app that aren't domain-specific, it results in an overall worse feel for the end user.

Re:Building the MySpace backend on Tuesday June 14, 2011 @11:33PM (#2655866)

Ok, but wasn't MySpace in ColdFusion? I don't know if they had anything today that is scalable on their backend.

Was NoSQL around back then? They're right about the custom hacking that is required and that Facebook does (i.e. MySQL).

Good web technologies existed at the time. They may have not had Rails or Django but servlets were certainly an option.

I don't like the all caps text. Looks a little pixelated to me.

Also, facebook should probably be capitalized.

Good luck.

How to get my Android app ported to iPhone?

Posted by speakbin on Sunday April 17, 2011 @04:52PM
from the self-post dept.

My partner and I have a webapp with a pretty good Android client. Problem is, we're Java developers and don't really do the Objective-C stuff. I know most of the iPhone development $$$ is spent on things like design, art, etc, but we've got all that. Does anyone know of a lower-cost solution that can basically duplicate our work, re-using the same URLs/JSON APIs for the app, just on the...
