We gave it a shot with MyMarket [1][2], a customizable overlay for the Android market, where users can bookmark, recommend, remove, filter and preview applications and games.
I was thinking about a possible ADC2 submission since spring (without stress), just waiting if a good idea would come up. Around four weeks ago my flatmate and I were talking about the Android market and how boring it is to browse the listings, just to always find the same apps. We started with the thought that it would be an improvement to be able to "clean up" the lists by removing items. We've released the first version at 8. of August on the Android market and received a ton of user feedback with ideas we never thought about. The last weeks we constantly iterated, implementing filters, recommendations, my downloads (with updates) and many other improvements to the base idea, reaching version 1.0 about a day before the ADC2 deadline. We submitted the final version to the Android market and asked the users which sent us feedback for a quick test and feedback of it, with 2 bugs coming up to be fixed. The last hours before the deadline we had enough time to implemented one more feature: displaying the number of votes in the recommended listings. We submitted this version a couple of hours before the final deadline, at which point we have been very tired as most other Android developers submitting to the ADC (we had no sleepless nights though). It was fun knowing that hundreds if not thousands of other devs are intensively working on their submission at the very same moment. :) And as most other teams, we hope not to have included a bug in the last version (but currently everything seems to be working just fine)! The ADC2 really pushed us to deliver a quality app, and we hope to have delivered one. Good luck to all teams and their projects! - Chris [1] http://www.mymarket.cc [2] http://www.4feets.com/2009/09/mymarket-v10-submitted-to-the-adc2/ --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Android Developers" group.
