Open Sourcing my Symbian and Harmattan apps : Shareboard S3 version

Since I'm not able to actively maintain and update my apps for Symbian and Harmattan, I've decided I'd be making them open source one by one.

To begin with, today I give you full source code of Shareboard Symbian 3 version.

https://github.com/anandbibek/shareboard_symbian

Let me know if you face any problems in building it, if you do. I hope I haven't missed any files while committing.
And in case you carry over my project, or implement it somewhere else, please drop me a mail, or a comment anywhere just that I know. That'd give me immense pleasure knowing my code still lives on.

It's quite an emotional moment to bid final goodbyes to Symbian this way.. This codes contain hours of my effort of my initial coding days... those humid evenings of summer after college and chilling mornings, when learning Qt and trying out the apps on my C7 ran a chill down the spine.

Thank you Symbian for making me what I'm known as today. For showing me where I had to go in life and for being there when I needed the inspiration after a depressing phase in life.


Here I end the most emotional 'open-sourcing' blog post of history, with a assurance that I'd try to keep this app working and push fixes in case serious bugs pop up. Just let me know.

Thank you symbian fans.

Shareboard Symbian/Harmattan Update

Been a long time since I last posted here. So, hello everyone.
As you know Nokia Store no longer accepts updates to apps since January 1st 2014.

And coincidently, Shareboard, both Symbian and Harmattan version stopped working soon after due to Twitter SSL enforcing restriction.

The updated bug fixed Harmattan version has been uploaded to openrepos.net , a community maintained repository.

The Symbian version, is available as a standalone sis file from my dropbox. https://www.dropbox.com/s/8xu7mquduf21atv/shareboardsymbian.sis

I will try to keep the app updated and working as long as possible, but no promises since Nokia is dropping support so fast.

Cheers to Nokia's false promises and incompetence

Fixing MIME type bug in Nokia Publish

Nokia Publish developers, who had published MeeGo/Maemo debian file under Qt content item would know that a recent bug has caused the website to reject upload of new updated deb files.

Here's how you can fix it
Use any utility like FireBug to edit the web page. Inside the 'submit changes' button, delete the class 'disabled'
And you can happily push the button to submit.
I just submitted my updates. Have you?

Clipbook Reloaded

  

Clipbook , one of my most interesting and useful apps, available for Symbian, s60 and MeeGo devices, the one which was awarded LinuxTag App Contest award has been hugely improved to v2.3 and released as a paid version (update only for Harmattan devices) .

The new version improvements are as follows, including most requested autostart and daemon features :-

• Redesigned UI 
• Background processing ability to keep saving entries even if app is turned off 
• Swipe to delete 
• Write to text file 
• User selectable auto start option 
• Optimized for minimum power usage (approx only 0.01% extra load)
• Minimum memory usage (few KBs)

It's been an pleasure to uphold the honor of that award and work on perfecting the app that gave me my first recognition in the developer world. Thanks go again to maemo.org community for their support and feedback.

The app will be soon available from Nokia store, as soon as it passes QA.
Download Link


The earlier free version, which doesn't have autostart or daemon and runs on an old algorithm is still available over at Nokia Store link . Due to some bugs at Nokia Store, I can't update that item to incorporate the new algorithm. If the store bug is not fixed soon, I will publish it as a new free app, (without autostart and daemon)

More updates are planned in recent times and works for Symbian and S60 version will be carried out if possible.

      

Maemo Talk Forum App

We had a very good app for our Maemo Talk Forum, created by ph5, who had done an amazing job in carrying out such a huge task, that too, for free. Unfortunately, some minor bugs and usability issues hampered daily use of this app, and the app deserved some maintenance.

Carrying over from Philipp Zabel's earlier works ,
I have taken up the development of this app, and regularly updating and improving it. 

The repository is on github https://github.com/anandbibek/forum-qml-new

The main thread is on maemo talk forum at http://talk.maemo.org/showthread.php?t=88475

I have been working on this since December 2012. And the app is currently in a stable and much improved state.

ShareBoard for N9 (Meego-Harmattan) ....and Symbian

Just a small functionality I missed in N9 was that I had no option to fast-share a status update or post to both social networks from a single page.

ShareBoard has been made to fill in that gap.
The app loads up quite fast, so that you can start sharing whenever you wish.
You can post one photo along with a status update.
Toggle switches below set which networks update will be shared to.
Have a nice time trying out the app, and give feedbacks and suggestions. Also, you can notice that I'm not a good icon artist :p Any help in that field would be appreciated.

Content is currently available from Nokia Store.
And symbian version is under review and will be available soon.

Now available from nokia store : http://store.ovi.com/content/342672





This app uses the socialConnect QML library from http://projects.developer.nokia.com/socialconnect
