Entendu: An iPhone App in Production

Entendu is an iPhone application that lets you find and post interesting quotes on Twitter.

I’m taking a class called ‘Programming for the iPhone (CompSci 491P)’ this semester at the University of Massachusetts, Amherst. The idea is that by the end of the course, everyone in class will have a functioning iPhone application that they’ve designed and developed. And maybe even get on the Apple App Store.

I’ll be developing a sort of Twitter client I’m calling ‘Entendu’, built especially to aggregate quotes that people post on Twitter. This is the one-sentence description:

Entendu is an iPhone application that lets you find and post interesting quotes on Twitter.

The Presentation

We made our final pre-development product presentations in class yesterday. Each of us had to summarize what our application would be and our market analysis in five neat slides.

hey Parimal I love the idea for your iPhone app. I like the fact that rather than just creating a twitter client, you have decided to concentrate on a niche subject. I think you should definitely push it for release on the App Store also. Let me know if you want any beta testers for the app and good luck

@himanshuc: The final product may differ a little from Thursday’s presentation, but in the direction of being more feature-/focus-specific. We’ll see about releasing on the App Store

I’ll let you know once the app hits beta!

Haha! Funny among the questions they (audience) asked was, “how’d you make the interface mockups?” Anyway, will be looking out for it, maybe it’s a good excuse to buy myself an iPod Touch when your app comes out.

@Kilochfuller: Yeah, I’m really enjoying doing the UI mockups! I have yet to learn how to take those slick mockups and turn them into functional iPhone UIs, but the final app should have at least some of the glitz. And yep, that would be an excellent time to get an iPod touch!
