I don't like google more and more...when they didn't feel any competition out there, they gave you a very high price. And when there are some other choices, they reduce the price sharply. Why not just give the developers the low price first?

Take the GAE as the example, if you enable billing, you have to pay at least $9 a month, no matter how much more you are using over the quota.

Now, Google is not friendly to developers at all.


GAE is for "big boy" apps not projects for hobbyists. The pricing reflects that.


nice work, clean ui, i am curious too about the data source. I also set up a news web app too, with a facebook timeline: http://www.popbuzz.me


oh, it is super easy, there is a jquery-based code that you can use, called jquery masonry, i don't have to write the codes by myself, so, don't give me that credit :D


do you have an email? it'd be fun to shoot some ideas with you ! :)


popbuzz.me@gmail.com

i check this mailbox every day :D


thanks for the comment!!

:P


Because it doesn't take too much time to add the support of different countries.

I am in the U.S. right, so probably the main users will be us-based.




I am using bootstrap, it is good for a developer like me who doesn't know design very well....


Don't bother clicking on the above site, is some kinda spam link


looks cool. but there is no way to give feedback or contact.


:P oh yes, i miss that... will add one soon..


^o^, I only remember this sentence after i read the article, and I laughed...


pros: time freedom

cons: no one to discuss, share ideas or set up a strict deadline

I can finish my app bookspp.com in less than 10 days, but it took me more than 2 weeks...


There are more classy and contributive ways of advertising your app.


I was looking for a job because I am graduating this summer, and after I had some interviews, I realized that I need to learn some programming like c/c++, data structures and algorithms, socket programming and multi-threading programming. I like hackerbooks.com but found that the database is quite limited there. So I spent around two weeks to set up the website.

The idea is to use the amazon tagging to connect books. it seems to be a very light-weight app, :D
