Bjorn, I would like to see this distributed for free in the app store once I have the basic kinks worked out. I would rather spend a bit of time honing an attractive product than rush something half-done into the market and leave the mobile community with a bad taste of J. I am hoping this contribution will help make J more generally accessible.
I am hoping that there might be some in this community who would be willing to look at the alpha which I expect to have around the start of next month. My current working title is 'J Console' but I'm open to suggestion. - michael 2012/1/8 Björn Helgason <[email protected]>: > These all display fine and all of this is exciting. > > Is this something for distribution or will it be distributed soon? > > Would you call this an app? > > What would such an app be called? > > The planet of the apps. > > 2012/1/7 Michael Dykman <[email protected]> > >> I see what happened.
