SofaStream beta launch

Post date: 17-Aug-2009 08:56:47

SofaStream beta is finally out on the Android Market! Load up the market app, search for 'SofaStream', download it and take it for a spin - I'm looking forward to all the feedback. :)

Notes:

• This is beta. I've been hammering it over the last week or so and I think it's pretty stable, but I (like all of my kind) suffer from Developer Syndrome - I don't use my software the same as someone who doesn't know how it works under the hood. If it breaks, or even just does something unexpected, I'd appreciate knowing about it.
• This is a work in progress. And I mean from both sides - I'm working with everyone over at the StarShipSofa to make the RSS data I'm drawing from as rich as possible, so SofaStream is as appealing as possible. The file sizes on the Sanatorium feed are an example of things we hope to improve in the future. If you have ideas for new features, again, let me know.
• The icon. The default icon on this SofaStream release is no accident - we're running a competition over at the StarShipSofa to create one. If you can build something in a 48 by 48 pixel PNG that you think captures SSS and SofaStream, send it over to Tony via starshipsofa@gmail.com - you might win some tasty fiction.

Thanks to Tony at SSS for the help and encouragement, and to my lovely fiance Mandy for her support and patience during "the project that ate my weekends".
