The latest Jagimo is being released today

Published by woody on June 26th, 2011

After a long development period where we overhauled the entire app, the new version of Jagimo is available today (Monday June 27). The new version has a whole new look and adds social features like following and translation. One of the cool new things is a color chooser for changing the background colors of the app. Although I don’t expect a flood of downloads since we did not get a lot of big publications to write about it, I do expect some new users who I hope enjoy it. There are still a bunch of things we want to add, like audio and video, but that will wait while I change to business mode. We’d like to get some funding for marketing efforts.

Going back to development for a bit

Published by woody on August 30th, 2010

After taking a (mostly) break from developing new features in Jagimo in order to do the business plan and marketing, I’m going back to development this week. There are some key features that I think would really enhance the Jagimo network.

  1. User profiles. This will let people publish information about themselves and provide hooks into Twitter and Facebook.
  2. Notification list. One place to see all the activity on your jagimos, like commenting and retosses.
  3. Badge notifications. Wouldn’t it be great if you got a badge notification indicating that someone has commented on one of your jagimos?

I’ll need more than a week to do this stuff, but I gotta get started. Maybe there will be a big release at the end of September.

From Financial Engineering to iPhone App Development

Published by woody on August 23rd, 2010

I have written an article for QuantNet.com that will be posted in installments. Installment one is up today. It doesn’t mention iPhone or Jagimo, but it talks about my experience at Baruch’s MFE program leading up to the creation of Woern/Jagimo

Jagimo 1.2.10.5 approved

Published by woody on August 17th, 2010

So I submitted the app on Friday at 5pm. It was “In Review” at 8pm. And today, I just got notice that it was approved for the app store at 7:30pm. That is the quickest turnaround–four days including the weekend.

Latest submission to Apple “In Review” after only a couple of hours

Published by woody on August 17th, 2010

I sent a new version of Jagimo to Apple for approval last Friday. Last time the app was “Waiting for Review” for a week before going to “In Review.” Then after a few hours, it is approved; and a few hours after that, it’s up in the App store.

This time Jagimo went straight to “In Review” after only a couple of hours. However, it did not get approved a few hours after that. Here it is Tuesday and I haven’t heard anything yet. After the first version was submitted, it was “In Review” over the weekend before being approved, so maybe it will be like that this time. But I’m wondering if it really is in review or whether it will take another week before it’s approved. We’ll see.

Jagimo is Patent Pending

Published by woody on June 21st, 2010

I received verification from the patent office about our provisional patent application. Jagimo is now officially “Patent Pending.”  It was a pretty involved process but LegalZoom helped.

I think it’s a good process to go through because it forces you to really think through the technology and all the ways it can be used.

We now have one year to file a utility patent. Then, if that’s approved, we get the full patent protection for 20 years. We’ll see.

Woern LLC Founded

Published by woody on March 28th, 2010

Ernesto and I started a company called Woern LLC. The company will specialize in “Light Application Development.” These are applications (apps) that have a small technical footprint and typically perform a simple, focused purpose.

Jagimo will be our first app. For now, we’ll only have it on iOS (iPhone, iPad, iPod Touch). Hopefully we’ll be able to develop it for Android soon.

The birth of an iPhone app

Published by woody on March 5th, 2010

A couple weeks ago, Ernesto and I were sitting in Shade, a small Greenwich Village bar with great Crepes, drinking our third or fourth Weihenstephaner Hefeweissbier, talking about how we should be developing iPhone apps.

There are basically two ways we could go about doing it as indie developers. We could try to bang out a new simple app every few weeks and flood the app store with a bunch of (mostly clone) small apps. Each is low risk and most will generate no revenue, but if one is a hit it pays for the failures. Or we could try to think of one cool idea and spend some months developing it and hope it’s a home run. We decided to try to think of a home run. If we couldn’t, then we’d just start banging out apps and see what happens.
