DashBuddy

Bringing Your Dash to WP7

1 note

d0rmir asked: If you do decide not to start selling the app, you should release an .XAP file of V3 the app so those who bought DashBuddy can still use it, with or without photo posting. I paid for the full app because DashBuddy is by far the best Tumblr app on the WP7 marketplace, and it would be sad not to get the update everyone's been anticipating and waiting for

Thank you for the compliment, I don’t look at the other Tumblr apps because I don’t want to get hung up on who’s better - I just work on an app that I know I’d like, so it means a lot people enjoy it.

As for V3 - after my letter to the Tumblr team the photo issue has had some real progress, to the point where when I woke up this morning (I’m in the UK) there was a note from the Tumblr team on the API forum pointing us to a fully working sample script.

I’m going to spend what time I can find in the next day or two converting the python code they’ve given us into C# for DashBuddy and I hope by the end of the weekend to be able to post a sample photoset straight from my phone onto this blog.

Once that post is up I’m into my testing and minor tweak phase (like I want to add reblog information to the bottom of posts so you can find and follow interesting people from the phone)

If for some reason it starts to look unlikely I can deploy it as an upgrade, I would certainly release what I had - incomplete - as a free DashBuddy V3 app before shutting down the project.

I’ve put a lot into the app though, and I hope that won’t be the case.
