Zing: A (beta) ILX client for Macs

I haven't forgotten about this, but since the most asked for feature was an iPhone version I decided to have a stab at that. It's not *too* shabby, so far.

arg forgot to resize them, sorry

ooh looks cool

at last, a reason to buy an iphone.

seriously, beautiful beautiful work. I want.

Oh wow.

Seriously, let me pay you for this.

stet! <3

Brilliant. :-D

you tha man

[not sent from my iphone which i don't have yet]

wow AMAZING!!!

Will this work on an iPod touch as well? *curious*. If so, what v of the s/w do I need cos I think I'm a couple revisions behind.

Thanks guys! Yeah it will work on iPod tooch, but you'll need a wifi connection to use it (I played with storing threads offline, but to be useful you'd want to dl a whole board, and that's server killing. I might try to just dl all yr bookmarks, for a short tube trip or something)

Oh buttered corpse, yeah. I like to ILX in bed, sometimes.

Hm... TMI, perhaps.

Oh forgot to say, it needs 3.0. It's worth getting anyway, it's miles better.

Arse, I dont have 3.0 yet, but this might be an incentive to! :)

Excellent work btw :)

AMAZONG. want!

has it been submitted to appledapple?

you are so awsum

thought of making it (the full Mac OSX version) growl? </moon + stick>

Does anyone know about a mac emulator that will run this on a pc? (Yeah yeah, nelson ha ha again)

It's not at Apple yet, there are a few bugs still (mostly with bloody webkit and with the OG phone running out of memory on big threads). Next week I reckon.

Al: yeah, that looks easy enough. In my build here I post notifications when new bookmarks or new posts arrive, so I could stick Growl on the end of that.

this combination gives me chills

Just wait until Stet programs it to have each post talk in the original poster's voice.

who is the original poster, if not you ned?

Mysterious.

WANT. You are awesome, Stet.

Yeah once this is on the app store ima get it for sure, even if you wanna charge for it :)

bug report? i had zing running earlier and it just randomly quit. i wasn't even using it, it was just on. that is probably not so helpful!

Ah, yeah, it'll have been the session timing out. It falls on its ass if that happens, but i've fixed that now. Much better Mac Zing coming when I get this iPhone one out.

^ilx's most inspirational figure

we need a bait thread for the apple testers

You snake.

<3

Any idea of an ETA on the iPhone app? I'm salivating.

I'm goin to submit it on Thursday and then it's down to Apple ...

does zing refresh in realtime?

Is there anyway to get apps other than via the App store?

yeah can you not let 10 of us test it or something? or did they do away w/tht

woo-hoo, this is all kinds of awesome

No real-time refresh, that'd take server push and that's a lotta work for not much better than hitting refresh.

I can do private builds but they're clunky a kind of a pain. Will look into it if Apple drag their heels

is it really bad i finally got the ipod touch upgrade so i can use this when it is eventually available?

what in the hell, how did i miss this

this post is coming from inside the app

Hahah tza thats what is going to be my impetus too ;_;

I know, this has persuaded me into buying an iPhone finally :-)

Is it on the store? How've you got it gbx?

i think he meant just zing for regular computers?

Ah.

Any word from the app store?

keep your pants on

where my zing at
