Related Entries 1.2 (for Mango 1.6+)

Just as with PowerMail, the Mango 1.6 update broke part of my Related Entries plugin. And just as with PowerMail, I've finally made some time to fix it. Version 1.2 of Related Entries should be used for Mango 1.6 and later, and if you're still on an older version of Mango, use an earlier version of Related Entries (downloadable from Github). Enjoy!

Plugin version:
1.2

PowerMail 1.1 (for Mango 1.6+)

An update to the Mango core API, in Mango 1.6, broke my PowerMail plugin. Now that I'm sitting in an airport terminal working on updates for my open source projects again (in terms of commits-per-hour, I think I get the most done on my projects in airports!), I've finally got the update to fix it. Here you go!

Plugin version:
1.1
Last Updated:
2011-06-26
Requires:
Mango Blog 1.6+
Auto-install URL:
http://fusiongrokker.com/get/powermail

Of course, the source is always available on Github, and project details are on RIAForge.

The Squeeze

Today I released my first native mobile app -- The Squeeze -- built with Flex 4.5, Flash Builder 4.5, and AIR, into BlackBerry AppWorld. Part of my inspiration for posting this is that AppWorld doesn't show the full-size screenshots, and I'm very happy with the design work that Mark did for me, so I wanted to show it off here. There are two themes -- a Boy theme and a Girl theme -- toggleable by clicking the G/B icon in the lower-right:

Girl theme

Boy theme

This has, obviously, come a long way from the default skin you get with a new Flex Mobile application. Here's what it looked like before Mark got his hands on it:

Original theme

I did experience some of the same (infamous) frustrations when signing up for the Developer Zone, getting a notarized form, etc -- and more frustration during the signing process. And I have my qualms with AppWorld, too. But ultimately, I was able to make it happen, and I'm excited to see if it takes off.

What really excites me, though, is the prospect that with a tiny bit of effort I can recompile and target Android, and ship a version for Android tablets as well. And if the tablet apps do decently (read: pay for a case of beer) then I'll probably put some time and effort (and call in more favors to Mark) to revisit the smartphone form factor, which is, of course, where this app started its life.
