Last and least, me. App: GooMemo Category: Productivity LOC: 7658 http://goomemo.com
My story: I'm an active note taker, writing notes on my phone on the road. When I got my hands on the G1, I knew I had to develop my own notes app. This was in the beginning of 2009. I learned the Android framework and designed the app further at my own pace. Then ADC2 was announced and I knew I that I should participate. ADC2 set the deadline for my work. I worked harder and harder as the deadline approached, but still, the usual happened: there was huge amount of work to be done during the last weeks. I worked multiple days until midnight, on my free time. Last days were a struggle with less sleep. In the end, I managed to publish a decent app. I'm afraid some bugs slipped through though. After the deadline, I had a break for over a week. Didn't want any of Android, I was exhausted. What was the most time consuming task for me? It was implementing the 2-way GDocs synchronization feature. Nothing to do with Android actually. I had to learn the GDocs protocol and develop a light-weight communication library that could run on Android; the existing GDocs Java lib does not run on Android. Sure there were fights with Android too, every framework has its issues. Last week I returned back to my app and released a free version of it. (I intend to publish a commercial version later, if possible.) Also put up the web site with screenshots. Anyway, GooMemo is now out there for free. If you are looking for a notes app, go check it. If you are not satisfied, please let me know.
