Prior to starting this blog, I first started using tumblr as the support pages for the iPhone apps I’ve made. Tumblr allowed me to have a quick, easy to copy, and easy to maintain little site up and running super quick, plus with the way I’ve styled them it barely looks like a blogging engine. That’s one of the greatest things about tumblr, that you can shape it to be what you want, and I’m definitely not the first to refer to tumblr as a decent allround CMS.
The Apps
Anyway, I have released two iPhone apps. iRorschach is a goofy little rorschach quiz using the controversial public domain Rorschach blots, and I make a few bucks a day off it. Not too shabby, I guess it pays for my morning coffee and toast, or it will once the less prominent regions finally hit that $150 limit.
The other is the iPhone Animal Kill Counter, which is a port to the iPhone of the great animal kill counter that has had so many ports to everything from facebook to flash to mobile. It basically tallies the numbers of animals slaughtered worldwide, and is meant as a kind of ‘wake-up-call’ for people who are on the fence about veganism and animal rights. This app I love, cause I got to get some really cute art in it, its entirely positive with no slaughterhouse pictures, and it gets thousands of downloads! It was my first app, and it really gave me a sense of fulfillment. I highly recommend writing something like this for your first app. Not neccessarily a social justice app, but anything that you can do quickly and give away for free.
Next Projects
So, I just wanted to get some links to that material on my site. I have some new apps and projects coming in the future, some commercial and some not. Stay tuned! I’ll also be giving out free codes for future apps, so make sure to subscribe to the RSS for your chance to snag one. :)
