i8news

Another app name starts with "i"? Yes, but also no, it's not any iPod "i" alike. It's because i8news reads like "i ate news" (inspired by my colleague's AIM handle i8code).

So the app involves some action with eating/nibble, check out the url here: http://i8news.appspot.com/static/nibble.html (apparently inspired by the famous Nibble game).

And the food comes from Daylife Search Quotes API (search_getQuotesBy). You will get a quote, and you need to reach the correct choice by practicing arrow keys.



So it's really simple as it is. It can go more advanced and with more features, because of the tools it has used:

  • GWT : for writing the javascript
  • Google App Enginge: supporting the backend
  • daypi: the python client from daylife used to do the actual api call (need a little modification to run in the Google App Engine)
