1 day – 1 app

Building a ready-to-ship app in one day and being verbose about it.

Decision made: simple travel app

with 4 comments

Let’s say you travel to Venice and plan to spend 3 days there, but you didn’t have enough time to do some proper research before you left: where to go, what to do, what to see. You’re a 100% spontaneous traveller.
But then you get there and, as you start walking through the city’s super-narrow streets, you tell yourself:
“I wish I knew what are the top 5 things to do in Venice!”

5things

5things (the new iPhone app I’m going to build) is a very simple mobile app that determines your location (you’ll be able to change it if it didn’t pinpoint you correctly) and suggests 5 things to do there.

That’s it and I’ll be the first to use it extensively!

  2. I’ll put some data in manually for the Friday version. Later, I’ll probably build a web app to manage it and a webservice to sync the iPhone app periodically.
    I’m not sure wether to use XML or SQLite for local storage, I’ll have to read some docs :) .

    I think I need some good 12 hours of research, planning & work on Friday, so I plan to start early.
