    Update

    It’s been a while since I’ve updated this site so I thought it was a good time to do so.

    Spaz HD

    My current project has been working on the Enyo version of the Spaz microblogging client with Ed Finkler (creator of Spaz) and many others. We will be open sourcing the application as soon as we are allowed. It should be available at the TouchPad’s launch on July 1st.

    Koto Player

    Since my last post, Koto Player has undergone many updates, improving with every one. Koto has been on hold the past few months while I work on Spaz HD. However, I now have time to work on both projects so expect more updates from me. I will continue to work on the Mojo (webOS 1.x-2.x) version until Mojo is no longer supported on phones. At this time I do not have plan on an Enyo version (webOS 3.x) for three reasons. One, I made Koto Player because the stock music player in Mojo is poor. The Enyo version looks to be pretty good. Two, with all these rumors of “Music Synergy” and such, I don’t know if these technologies will be available to third-party developers like myself. And finally, I need a TouchPad to make Koto Player in Enyo.

    I have been doing my best to listen to the features request by users at http://kotoplayer.uservoice.com and have been able to check many of them off. If you have any ideas, please add them!

    Koto Player’s source code has been released on github at http://github.com/Tibfib/Koto-Player/. Please contribute!

    Mojo Messenger

    Mojo Messenger is officially dead. It just doesn’t make sense to make a stand-alone chat application now. One of the beauties of webOS is synergy so the best chat service would be incorporated directly in the messaging app. But then once it is in the messaging app, there is nothing to differentiate the product from using Google Talk, Skype, or countless other supported platforms. I’m only one person and I can’t quite compete with the big guys. Plus Apple has announced their chat service “iMessage” severely limiting iOS users if Mojo Messenger or its successor goes cross platform. I still would love to make this app if any existing chat service wants to bring their app to webOS.


    I will be working on new Enyo apps and will announce them when they’re ready. Stay tuned!
