Daily stories from the ambadoo team, behind the scenes, dev-stats and other random stuff.

If you haven’t noticed it, we’re counting down. Counting days to a quite special moment, in fact the first milestone with the new team. App Store submission. We’ve set the deadline to submit the iPhone app to Apple for revision the last of July. 16 days to go. It’s getting close, and I’m having a re-occuring if we’ll make it.
We’re moving forward, no doubt, but time flies and we have about 10 working days until the 31th. The worry lies in the difficulties to see how much work’s left for a state of the app that we’re proud of. Even though it might be like someone said ‘if you’re not ashamed of the first version, you’ve spend too much time’ we also know that iPhone users are among the most critical out there. Much can happen in 16 days.

Aside from the iPhone App, there’s a parallel track with web goodies. You’ll be able to access your own address book from any mobile browser with the web app, but we’re working on a cool little contact widget which you can attach to any of your sites as a dynamic business card. It’s a little JavaScript snippet, that you easily can embed in your html code.

Why? Well, contact info on websites tend to be out-of-date since they’re commonly hard-coded. Instead this widget will pull the public information from your ambadoo profile, so that it’s always updated for your visitors.

Public Profile

All users will by default have a public profile, like white pages. You can share the url of that to your friends and new contacts. From their mobile they’ll be able to contact you straight away without having to add you. The multi-line email-signatre can now be replaced with one single line with a link to all necessary contact info you can think of.

Tomorrow we’ll have this weeks the sprint review, and will talk about the remaining two weeks. Hard work await.

    Is there something wrong with the stylesheet here? Everything looks green and I can barely read the article?
