Quakk Goes Open Source

Posted in Software on Saturday, Saturday, September 20, 2008 by Anthony Burns

If you're just looking for the application, then you need to visit the Quakk homepage.

If you're after having a peek at the code, contributing, criticising, or even stealing some of it for use in your own Twitter application, then you're in the right place. The solution can be downloaded from CodePlex

Some ideas I have to improve Quakk going forward, that you may be interested in helping with:

  • GPS - Enable users to update their Location using GPS
  • Auto-Update Main Timeline - Enable users to set a time interval for Quakk to Update the main timline
  • Detect new software update - Quakk should check home every 25 updates to see if there's a new version
  • View X's timeline in menu - Adding "View User" to the popup menu so users can view another user's timeline
  • Unit Testing - I have yet to begin unit testing, although I've read quite a bit about it, so if someone fancies holding my hand through my first steps, that would be great!

If you're interested in participating with the development of Quakk then hit me up: @littlecharva or leave a message on CodePlex or in the comments here.

That should be fixed now.

I dig this app by the way...best looking of all Windows Mobile apps I've seen. Having trouble when I click somebody and it pops up the options, "Reply" and "Send Direct Message," but when I try and click on "Send Direct Message" nothing happens. Thanks.

Application looks good, has a lot of promise. I agree with your list of feature updates, as I believe that will add alot to the application. Best of luck!
