Caanoo Appstore

[u9i]

Hi sepulep

It is slowly progressing but right now I am working on the coding competition that I am also organising ( www.riotdigital.com ). But if you have any feedback do share. I think this could be the most awesome app ever for the caanoo.

It's a great idea, but I think you must to show a list with the name and a short description of the application to the right of the icon.
If you click in the icon you download and install the application, if you click in the description, more detailed info is showed.

+------+------------------------------------+
|      | Name of the app (325 Kb)           |
| icon | Description line 1                 |
|      | description line 2                 |

Another proyect for desktop package manager (Synaptic, iTunes) was made here:

That Wiz program looks very cool. I haven't seen it before, so thanks for the link. I like that layout very much. Lets hope it's not patented

Hi sepulep

I would say keep it simple: the app really only needs to be able to download and extract stuff. Anything else (version control, updates etc) is superfluous (in the beginning at least) and risky because I think caanoo development is not that structured. I know you argued against using the openhandhelds.org, but I think the community is too small to support many different channels of distribution, so I would say try to use the openhandhelds archive - but maybe I am a bit conservative )

Sepulpep makes a good point - if the download server's separated from the archive, then that will mean any developments will have to be submitted and updated on both fronts. If it's possible or efficient to work with OpenHandhelds, you may want to use that method instead.

hi Uni, any progress in this very interesting work? :rolleyes: i hope yes! last reply is dated 1 may...

 

[u9i]

A little. I have a real problem with the caanoo being so slow to write to the SD card. If a game is too big, it takes forever to install over wifi. Many times longer then it actually takes to plug the card into your computer, find the game in the archive, download it, unzip it, copy it to the sd card and reinsert the sd card into the caanoo.

But this will be on the back burner until the coding competition is over i'm afraid. But i have summoned a little help with the coding

Just discovered the youtube video of this.
Though it's never complete.
And anyway, I quite like the openHandhelds browser that also has a description and can download more than games.
