I wonder, are there any android developers on Hubski? I am an amateur android developer and I planned on making some sort of widget for Hubski this summer, though those plans have been halted with the wedding and school.

Wouldn't an app require an API?

mk, didn't you put together a sort of rudimentary api?

Also, forwardslash, congrats on the engagement. Wedding plans can take on a life of their own... be sure to take the proper time/moments to enjoy being "engaged", it only happens once.

A Hubski widget would be bad ass!

Hey, sorry dudes that was actually "thenewgreen" but my laptop is logged in under "thisisme" who happens to be my good childhood friend. (I'm still in Michigan from the Hubski Gathering) and he was over last night Hubskiing with me.

Sorry thisisme. I have logged you out and shan't use your account again. Though I should have took the opportunity to write some really crass stuff. Damn! Opportunity lost ;-)

Wedding plans have been crazy, but we recently found our place to live in which was a huge source of stress for us. Only 39 more days!

39 days! WoW. I can remember you mentioning proposing a while back. Time fly's...

Have a fantastic time!!

Even before mk put together the API I was looking into what people have done to make the Hacker News apps. Basically, they wrote their own api which scraps HN and turns it into a usable format.

Yep. I've cobbled together a rudimentary one, which I will provide access to by request to users that have been around for a bit.

I will roll out a more mature API in time.

Currently, I am buried in an update, addressing known bugs, and modifying the format.

Hey congrats, forwardslash!

When things settle down, definitely let me know what I could provide to help. I can easily expand upon that API.

Thanks! And I will.
