I am currently accepting jobs in the area of Ruby on Rails(consulting or for hire) and some photography.

I know MySQL and MongoDB like the back of my hand. I work exclusively with Prototype, but I can do jQuery. Oh, and I can code Android apps too!

Android Apps Mar 05
March 05, 2010 @ 09:40pm android

Is it me or do 90% of the Android apps look similar to Windows 3.1 software?

I’ve been developing an Android app over the past few weeks and I noticed that the GUI quality for Android apps is lacking. I’m pretty sure this is do to the lack of filtering that Google does, which Apple requires.

While looking through dozens and dozens of apps, I came across comments such as, “if this looked better, i’d give it a 5 star.”

That got me thinking about this app I’m currently working on. If I make this app beautiful, I could probably sell it for a $1 more!

I believe that a majority of app users, iPhone or Android, really want pretty interfaces over anything else.
