New App, Peek, goes live on AppStore!
Our first attempt at a “Twitter App” has finally gone live on the iTunes AppStore after a lot of going back and forth with Apple’s Review team. Peek is no ordinary Twitter app (there’s way too many already out there for that). Peek is a different approach to Twitter.
A lot of times, you don’t want to see everything on Twitter, just certain things. If you’re...
A week with Android: An iPhone Developer’s...
We’ve had the iPhone since day one, so AT&T’s network isn’t new to us. It seems to be getting worse though, the last month, dropped calls increased, the 3G service disappeared, texts came through hours late, and sending a text usually took multiple tries. Finally fed up, we decided to get ourselves Verizon phones. This was pretty embarrassing for us, we’ve spent the last year and a half...

The TechVi AppStore Interview
I sat down last Friday to speak with TechVi about the AppStore’s review process and the drama that’s surrounded it for the past few weeks as developers have begun loudly voicing their opinions on it (or just Tweeting loudly I suppose).
Watch the Interview Here (~8 Min)
Since it was a short interview and we didn’t really have much time to cover everything in detail, I wrote a...

QuickShareIt 3.0 Beta

Long Island Coworking Space
As many of you already know, we’re a tech startup from Long Island, NY. We love Long Island. It’s a great place to live and since we’re close to Manhattan, we sort of get the “best of both worlds”. We work out of our own office and we have a lot of fun on a day to day basis; however, sometimes it’s nice to “talk shop” and interact with other...

Heartbeat - Built for iPhone Developers
If you’ve ever developed and sold an application on the iTunes AppStore, you’ll know that iTunes Connect isn’t exactly a good solution when it comes to reporting how your applications are doing.

Sneak Peak at Heartbeat
Heartbeat is a new web application service that we’re developing. It started as a product that we developed to help us better manage our business (developing iPhone applications) and it’s spawned into such a useful product for us that we figured we would share it with the world. We really can’t show you much, so consider this a teaser for the time being.

What We've Been Up To
I just realized that I hadn’t posted to the blog in a while and I figured I’d write a “catch up” post.
We’re still waiting on Apple’s approval for the application that we gave you a sneak peak (ok, barely a peak) of last week. Things seem to be taking a bit longer than we’d like; however, hopefully things will pick up soon and that app will go live on...

Groundwork ToDo Editing
We’re finally finished with our ToDo overhaul (well, aside from re-ordering, but that’s not a huge priority at the moment).
Once you put ToDo’s into “Edit” mode, the checkboxes (circles?) slide out and in slides the delete circles:
From here, you can go ahead and delete a ToDo Item, or tap it go to slide into the Edit window:

Groundwork Update on it's way!
After releasing Groundwork publicly and hearing commentary from the community, we realized that we missed some major things the first time around. The biggest one seems to be the lack of a way to assign responsibility for “ToDo items” and the second biggest is the inability to see which client is attached to which project. This caused a few problems for some of our users; but...
