The Evil Overlord Posted October 31, 2013 Share Posted October 31, 2013 Microsoft also put out an incomplete OS... Good job on the Neowin App thou fellas. Nothing will ever beat the actual website thou. It's not my place to argue with a senior member, but haven't people said that throughout the turn of the century? XP was what 2k was supposed to be, 7 is what Vista was supposed to be? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spikey_richie Posted October 31, 2013 Share Posted October 31, 2013 I am, I never realised the code would be so different, I assumed there'd be one or 2 tweaks for optimisation to other os's, but mostly it would be similar to installing software on a pc (ok naivety on my part) And I assumed the installer is handled by the OS instead of a standalone installer Windows phone apps are written in .Net usually C#, iOS apps are written on a Mac using Objective C (unless you use a cross-platform compiler like Xamarin which does some of the work for you). Android apps are written in Java using a version of Eclipse called http://developer.android.com/tools/sdk/eclipse-adt.html'>ADT bundle The Evil Overlord 1 Share Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
]SK[ Posted October 31, 2013 Share Posted October 31, 2013 This is actually a very nice clean app. Well done. My only gripe is I wish the tile colour was the system colour rather than the light blue. spikey_richie and Steven P. 2 Share Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Evil Overlord Posted October 31, 2013 Share Posted October 31, 2013 Welcome. I've added some links in too for your reference. I've added them to favourites, I'll have to read them when I have more free time, (currently multitasking) I knew some have made good money making apps, but because I don't understand the programming languages I've never done more than simply 'think' about it.

Yes, I was given some info by spikey_richie, I've had a quick read of some, the similarities vs the differences are a little overwhelming, but I'm just going to take my time and learn :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+Kyle Subscriber¹ Posted October 31, 2013 Subscriber¹ Share Posted October 31, 2013 You know Steve, you guys should just edit the code to work for iOS7 because I am sure a large majority of your Windows Operating System users use iPhones.

Apologies for the off topic post You'd be surprised, many of my friends feel dissatisfied with both android and ios, for whatever reason (I know this sentiment isn't necessarily shared here, so I will only speak for my social circle alone) My choice to go wp in the new year is because I miss nokias and may as well try wp, if for nothing else, the learning experience Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lamp Post Posted October 31, 2013 Share Posted October 31, 2013 They said in the emails that they purposely don't allow external linking to other sites from the app, that's why all inline links are stripped from the story view. Other applications allow this; like the Facebook app allows you to open any link posted to the news feed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
