When I say version 2, I mean it.
Blob will just get twice of everything it had.
A WordPress module will be added with basic posting, editing + reader by Url, "Freshly pressed" reader, etc..

Most interesting feature is gonna be threaded comments, which Blogger APi hasn't let me implement.
But I've done that with wordPress, in style ;)

You might say that we already have cutepress for that, but FYI, Blob is using a diff API, which has a few extra abilities, and few missing functions. I don't want any competition with CutePress, so kindly, don't compare.. It's different things from different aspects

A let down is that self hosted sites aren't supported yet, but WP support tells me that I could soon support them with JetPack.. Hope "soon" means soon..

The update is under development and private beta, drop me a comment if interested in Beta testing.

Stay tuned :)

Regards

A little late on the announcement, I was busy perfecting v2 for MeeGo.

The new version for Symbian has already arrived in store few days back. Current version being 2.0.1 along with a bug fix from v2.0.0.

Changelog goes as follows:

• Added support for WordPress (Now its a dual client ).
• Add, edit, delete, read WordPress blogs, and everything you did with Blogger earlier.
• Read "freshly pressed" WordPress blogs
• Read blogs by entering url also in guest mode (apart from wordpress.com sites, some websites like techcrunch.com , gigaom.com seem to work )
• Threaded comments in WordPress (nested)
• Long press to show Link sharing options, including Pocket integration (did I announce it before? :p )

Nothing more I could remember atm, except few UI changes..
Thanks to everyone for their support and interest. It's been a nice experience :)

MeeGo version is on its way too.

Just one note/question: why during selection of services in horizontal orientation (Nokia E7) the screen garbles up like this: http://i.imgur.com/rgj0U.jpg? It is not a big deal - after all, most people will see this screen only once or twice, but it'd be nice to fix such small glitches.

Sadly, I missed the time to become Blob beta tester, so for now this is the only channel available for me to report bugs found in the release version :)

Or maybe this is fixed already in v2.0.1? I have only 2.0.0.

ReplyDeleteAnanda BibekJuly 23, 2012 at 9:07 PMThanks for reporting the issue but as far as it seems, this is a inbuilt component problem and would happen only when screen is rotated after page is loaded. I'll still check it out.
And for faster contact u can reach me via @Anand_Bibek on twitter

Thanks:)

ReplyDeleteIan GsySeptember 3, 2012 at 6:59 PMThis may not be the correct site to ask this but . . .I have just downloaded Qcal for my Nokia 8-00 (Symbian) - an excellent calculator but it keeps asking me to upgrade to the full version. I would love to upgrade but the Nokia site tells me that the full version is not supported. Can you (a) sell me the full version or (b) tell me how to disable the 'upgrade to full' splash screen.

ReplyDeleteRepliesAnanda BibekSeptember 4, 2012 at 12:06 AMCould you specify which phone you are using and which firmware? Anna?

Meet MeeCal, a simple calculator that is a clone of the default calculator in N9. Only difference is that it runs on symbian :D

The UI and UX has been optimised and designed for maximum match with the MeeGo app. Along with the inherited awesome graphics style.

The most awesome feature being swipe down to close the app. And swipe sideways to minimize. You've to start the swipe from the extreme edge of the screen.

Also the superfast startup time is something to look forward to :)

A paid and free version is submitted to QA and will be available by next weekend.

Hope you enjoy the swiping on your symbianPosted byAnanda Bibekat9:45 PMEmail ThisBlogThis!Share to TwitterShare to FacebookNo comments:Post a Comment

Here's something interesting for those N9ers who, like me are used to the long press functionality of Swype keyboard. But unfortunately the long press choices in stock keyboard aren't much useful.
For that, I present you English (XT) keyboard that has long press chars as in Swype. Actually I made it for my personal use, but decided to share it.



The installation instructions are a little unorthodox since I haven't made any installer. But this techniques are familiar to most N9ers ;)

(Also an easy way : use the MesInput app from Nokia store, and download this keyboard with id : 1064020 . And you are done!! )


Download the xml file from here.
http://db.tt/a3SGeiY1

Put it directly in MyDocs

Enable developer mode in your N9,
Go to terminal and type

$ devel-su (password is rootme)
# cp /home/user/MyDocs/en_ext.xml /usr/share/meegotouch/virtual-keyboard/layouts/


Go to text inputs setting and activate the English(XT) keyboard

Swipe KB to access XT variant.

Enjoy long-pressing :)Posted byAnanda Bibekat9:13 PMEmail ThisBlogThis!Share to TwitterShare to FacebookLabels:Harmattan,keyboard,long-press,MeeGo,N9,swypeNo comments:Post a Comment

Blogger and WordPress client for Symbian and Meego, Blob will be finally getting the much requested "Photo upload" feature. Thanks to ShwStppr (Abhishek Kumar) for helping me out with the C++ stuff of file handling. Update is possible only because of him :)

The upload mechanism isn't 100% polished and might have small bugs here and there. (Mostly because my 1 year old C7 has been acting weird recently and giving a different result than my beta testers). Anyway, I've submitted the update for Blob paid version in Symbian. Hopefully, which might go live by next weekend. I'm looking forward to feedback and fix bugs (if any) and then update it for MeeGo also.
The update for Symbian free version will also be pushed soon.

Whenever I create a post, I always get an error message saying Google API Error 400 something. I don't get the exact message but it's something like that. Please help.

ReplyDeleteacengineerDecember 17, 2012 at 3:49 AMPhoto upload has really improved Blob. Since the mechanism creates an URL for embedding into a post's html code (after the upload completed), I could think of that it could be adapted for other image locations, say Flickr (others may prefer Tumblr, Instagram or FB)

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 under Nokia Store QA.
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
