- davidcann, on 10/11/2007, -0/+84Thanks. I'll add some more features to it over the next couple weeks.
- meatmcguffin, on 10/11/2007, -0/+45Added bonus!
Seeing as this got to the front page of digg, you can view the iphone app from within the iphone app. Infinite iPhones :) - nightwave, on 10/12/2007, -4/+47David:
It is people like you who will restore lost hope in the iPhone. This app alone has reversed many of my concerns about this 'Web 2.0' development platform. I think I speak for many when I say that perhaps you are the first to show the world what the iPhone is capable of when put in the hands of a creative developer.
Looks excellent. - onionizer, on 10/11/2007, -0/+36Digg + iPhone all mixed together? you win.
- meatmcguffin, on 10/11/2007, -8/+45I'm starting to like this 3rd party app situation (or at least not hate it) if this is the calibre of apps that are possible. Add that to the fact that you can easily code your own apps, which is a first for a smartphone, and the iPhone seems like a much better investment.
All we need now is a third party development environment, like dashcode, which easily allows amateurs to create apps with the correct size, functional hooks, transitions and the proper GUI components and we're golden. - davidcann, on 10/11/2007, -0/+32Yea, I plan to create a JavaScript library for this.
- rebotfc, on 10/11/2007, -3/+281. It's a proof of concept.
2. It's digg navigation but optimized for the iphone.
3. it demonstrates ajaxified widgets may not be so bad on iphone. - pourhadi, on 10/11/2007, -7/+30This is a perfect example of an ideal app. Good job.
- subliminalurge, on 10/11/2007, -2/+22Stop thinking so ***** literally and use your imagination a little bit.
The exciting part here is NOT that he created a way to display Digg on an iPhone.
The exciting part is that he has proven that it is possible to produce a slick UI in AJAX that will be consistent with the rest of the iPhone interface.
This isn't about viewing digg, this is simple demonstration of what will be possible for any type of app. - ssewell, on 10/11/2007, -1/+17Does anyone know if the author has plans to provide a simple JavaScript library to handle the iPhone-like behavior? It would be nice to create AJAX apps without having to re-invent the wheel. Also... if we could get enough people onboard to provide a consistent interface via a single project, it could mitigate quite a bit of the inconsistencies that are bound to appear when other people start to make their own misguided attempt at this.
- davidcann, on 10/11/2007, -2/+18I agree, aaonic... I'm disappointed in the lack of an real SDK. Web apps can only do so much. I'm hoping that we'll be able to reverse engineer their Cocoa classes and build our own apps... even if we can't sell them to normal users.
- rdas7, on 10/11/2007, -1/+15dude, that's insane. awesome work!!!
hey I've got a clickwheel prototype, care to roll that in somehow? drop me a line richarddas.com - rebotfc, on 10/11/2007, -0/+13Sorry for comment abuse, just want to re-iterate *test this in safari* in firefox it doesnt work 100%.
- Brian47126, on 10/11/2007, -3/+16what he said, this app makes me so happy! I am now really ready to get my iphone
- aonic, on 10/11/2007, -0/+13There is none! You're just coding for a regular browser.
- aonic, on 10/11/2007, -3/+16I think the mouse gestures are pretty cool, but seriously, you can only do so much with JavaScript. JavaScript apps will be cool, but JavaScript is no substitute for low level languages that interface with the hardware directly.
Think SSH client, or VNC client, or even SSH/VNC Servers since iPhone will have Wi-Fi. - Publictivity, on 10/11/2007, -2/+14AMAZING.
- asuraci, on 10/11/2007, -2/+12I got the .zip from the coral, uploaded it on my space.
http://www.alexsuraci.net/iphone/ - davidcann, on 10/11/2007, -0/+10Haha... I did consider that, but then didn't want to be staring at a big creepy hand all night while I was working on it.
- brbreslin, on 10/11/2007, -1/+9mad props david. very slickly done.
- thegreyfox, on 10/11/2007, -2/+9Your sir ***** rock. good stuff.
- Nok1, on 10/11/2007, -1/+8@meatmcguffin
"...Add that to the fact that you can easily code your own apps, which is a first for a smartphone"
Hate to be a douchebag and correct you, but you can easily design your own apps for any windows mobile-smartphones so long as you get the .NET CF (compact framework)
"All we need now is a third party development environment, like dashcode, which easily allows amateurs to create apps with the correct size, functional hooks, transitions and the proper GUI components and we're golden."
Once again, if you use the .NET CF, you can easily create programs with any .NET language... and you can create apps on the fly with a language like VB.net or even C#.net if you've ever programmed - Joost, on 10/11/2007, -1/+8Very nicely done, but I don't think it is necessary for developers to emulate the iPhone scrolling. I presume that you just have to serve a HTML document and the iPhone will handle the scrolling for you. Would be silly otherwise.
- jeremedia, on 10/11/2007, -1/+7A nice collection of on-topic, positive comments. So rare and welcome, regardless of the topic.
- davidcann, on 10/11/2007, -0/+6I have the source code if anyone wants to post it on a robust server. Email me... iphonedavid [at] gmail.
- bluballs, on 10/11/2007, -4/+10All this in one day....You Rock! I know this will be the first app I will down or bookmark on my iPhone =)
- cmyk, on 10/11/2007, -0/+6Excellent work david!
Try bring this digg up in the iphone app, then click on the story link. It brings up the app in the app in the app in the app...... - ridd1e, on 10/11/2007, -0/+65-year contract? Sounds like slavery to me…
- eloehfelm, on 10/11/2007, -0/+5Wow! We were just talking about building the same thing this morning! You beat us too it. Nice job. If you get the scrolling to work in the web page view, you're golden.
- eleven, on 10/11/2007, -0/+5... and prompty tanked with all the traffic.
- davidcann, on 10/11/2007, -0/+5Thanks for posting it, asurac... its nice and fast on your server.
- aonic, on 10/11/2007, -0/+5Yeah, I would def. get an iphone if they release a real SDK or if someone makes their own :]
- graviplana, on 10/11/2007, -2/+7Good job, way to put the naysayers in their place.
- Visk, on 10/11/2007, -1/+5He should call it the eiPhone
- htdub, on 10/11/2007, -2/+6The moral of the story: Don't buy a motorola, your GF will fire your ass.
- binorgog, on 08/07/2008, -0/+4Davidcann FTW
- zephc, on 10/11/2007, -0/+4Cool but just because the iPhone won't have an SDK doesn't mean it won't have APIs like Dashboard does (c.f. http://developer.apple.com/documentation/AppleApplications/Reference/Dashboard_Ref/ ). I think some a lot of the behavior you see in Jobs' demo will come for free when you target the iPhone.
- Joost, on 10/11/2007, -0/+4No, looking at the WWDC Keynote video I think that Safari simply scrolls the bouncy iPhone-way. Actually, I think it's the standard way of scrolling on the entire iPhone. Probably one (scroll) canvas object which is reused throughout the entire iPhone UI. Consistency.
- kisore, on 10/11/2007, -3/+6OMG! That's the sexiest thing since Angelina Jolie!
- psiph, on 10/11/2007, -4/+7I loaded this site in my iPhone...
http://img115.imageshack.us/img115/3056/iphoneam2.gif - AceTracer, on 10/11/2007, -0/+3I love how you're blaming your relationship problems on your ***** phone.
- scottschiller, on 10/11/2007, -0/+3Re: AMAZING
Yes, thankfully this was one Apple digg post that did not have that in the title.
More on-topic, this is a decent example of some of the fun things you can do with the Yahoo! User Interface Library. Good stuff.
http://developer.yahoo.com/yui/ - mcorto, on 10/11/2007, -0/+3Yes, it would be nice if we could create a project to provide a standard ajax/javascript library to easily develop iPhone-like applications. Maybe creating a website linked to a sourceforge project would be a good starting point. It should become a standard. A consistent user interface is one of the most important things.
- aCiD2, on 10/11/2007, -1/+4The point is that this is more usable (well, assumed to be) on the iPhone - as it's more native to the UI of the rest of the phone.
- htdub, on 10/11/2007, -0/+3You should have included the man hands, i can't tell if it's really DIGG or not without it.
Nice Job! - subliminalurge, on 10/11/2007, -2/+5Awesome work!
It's great to see someone who didn't take the fashionable route of bashing Apple and crying that "If it's not the way we've always done it, it's crap". No, instead you took the old-school hacker mentality of "OK, here's what we got, what cool ***** can we do with it?".
Very good work, indeed.
What I would really like to see is developers releasing the source to these apps as a matter of custom, rather than hosting them on their own server. That way I could have my own server in my basement hosting my iPhone apps, be in control of my own destiny as far as backups go, and not have to worry about the author of my favorite app deciding that he can't affort the hosting and simply letting the site die. - aCiD2, on 10/11/2007, -0/+3In my opinion, the even cooler thing about this is the amount of work David had to do is going to be reduced because all of that elastic scrolling is going to be handled automatically by the iPhone (I am of course speculating, but it would seem *very* backwards if Apple didn't even provide some basic UI stuff for developers...).
Great work nontheless, and I can see this encouraging people to start thinking about applications (I mean, the LDAP viewer was hardly revolutionary!) - whatsupimphil, on 10/11/2007, -0/+2The time's wrong
- starbird, on 10/11/2007, -0/+2wow. I hate Cingular/AT&T. That is what is holding me back. But DAMN! This and OneTrip? Already? Good things to come. I can't imagine what will be available by the time my (recently renewed) Verizon contract is up in March 2009. Then again, perhaps 5 years doesn't mean 5 years......
