Print Hub Progress.

I did a lot of work yesterday on Print Hub.  I'm not even sure how long I worked on it.

It seemed to be a lot more fun than it was before.  In fact, I got a whole pile of the Google Cloud Print API working, that didn't work before previously (Not entirely sure what was up there, but I rewrote a number of classes, and cleaned things up).   Here in the next couple days, I'll be pushing a couple other app ideas, out the door (I'm hoping), but frankly, there doesn't seem to be a lot in the way right now. : )

I added Processing Invites, and deleting Jobs.

Obviously, I did some styling work.

I wanted it to be a bit cleaner.. overall. Faster on that main dialog for printing.

Print Hub Update.

  

    

 Spent a bit of time on making the interface better for Print Hub.  Have a ton of features that are.. "Developed", but can't quite be released yet.  Yeah, it's 3:00am in the morning.  Life is brutal.

Sometimes, I feel like Thulsa Doom, talking to my inner Conan.

Gotta say, it's all about the App Store SEO.

I haven't been posting app figures, because they became abysmal. However, I think this release today will fix the course.  Also, did some upgrades on appearance, and had Jared help me out with some splash screens.  (Jared is awesome, he needs to do some posts on Android theming).

Pretty much have my next feature set lined up, along with the SEO tweaks for my next "attempt" at this brutal store environment.  The reason I can post this stuff, is because it takes so long to get your app approved.  See, I submitted my app last weekend.  So I have all week to make my next given set of features.  When the app is approved (I test pretty powerfully, so failure isn't really a big chance), then I have my next release ready.  I will play with the app tonight after the boys are in bed, and see if I can do anything more.. and then I'll submit. Anyways, time to give them a bath. See ya next post. : )

Print Hub Feature upgrade. Thoughts about Search Terms for apps.

I added Social Sharing for Twitter, Facebook, and Flickr for image file types today.  Didn't take long using Xamarin.Social.   I'll probably add a lot more every couple weeks.  Build my code up for integration and then spend a couple hours actually doing it.

I realized what my problem was.. on my app.  I had a very very weak search term base.  So, I opened it up this for this next upcoming release to a much wider set of terms.  This might end up being something I have to experiment with in order to get to the right place.  You only have 100 characters to use in your terms for your application.  Knowing what words to use is probably an entire industry in this microcosm.

In a lot of ways I get to experiment here.
