Hi there! I’m Jacob, the latest blogger here at Mactropolis. You can expect at least two things from me here:
1. A Student’s Opinion On Mac and Software Available For Students.
2. A Journey Through Learning and Coding For the iPhone SDK.
Along with these I will also be posting any reviews that I deem useful to you. The reader.
But for now its down to business! In my first app here developed exclusively for the iPhone I give you the custom built Mactropolis iPhone RSS Reader. Built using the SDK components for Dashcode this is a very basic web app. Yes mobile safari has a built in RSS reader but it doesn’t allow for customization or any images to give it a personalized look, this is where Dashcode comes in, using its own built in JavaScript based code you can edit everything and customize the JavaScript a tiny bit to create something that fits towards your blog or websites theme.
As you can see its very simple to use considering you understand the key concepts. The Mayor and I have been working on this for the past three weeks and we have now got a version ready for release, be warned this may not function as we are expecting and we would love your feedback on the app. If you are using firmware 1.1.3 or higher then you can add this as a web clip with a custom icon developed but if you are using an older firmware then you can always just add it as a bookmark on your device. Just visit http://mactropolis.com/reader to view the page although don’t try to view it using a standard desktop browser as it WILL NOT work.
Any feedback that you have will be taken into account. Please send any feedback you have to mayor AT mactropolis.com. We are looking to improve it massively in comparison to where it is right now!
Thanks and watch out for improvements and other apps in the future!
