Listify App 0.2.0 Released

Posted on by

Here we go again, another release of Listify App is out, this time the version number becomes 0.2.0

How does the Listify App version numbers work you might wonder, well this is how. The version number consists of 3 numbers, <major>.<minor>.<build>

The major number will increase when there are significant changes to the app, like structural changes to how the app works and its architecture. The minor number will increase when there is additional functionality added, so bugfixes alone won’t increase this number, there has to be some significant new functionality. The build number goes up on build pretty much, this number changes a lot when there are fixes and tweaks going on.

It is very likely that future releases will only contain a small amount of things added, fixed or changed since I try to release small and often rather than bundle in some massive changes, easier for me to test as well.

The following changes have happened for this release.

  • List items can now be ordered using drag and drop
  • Google Analytics Event Tracking has been added to certain functions

That’s about it for now, there are also a couple of tweaks and fixes in this release.

Listify App 0.1.1 Released

Posted on by

Listify App has now been updated to version 0.1.1, but what does this actually mean to you. This is mainly a bug fix release, since the original release yesterday, a few issues have crept up and this is the attempt at removing those so here we go.

  • Added a favicon
  • The page title tag will now be prepended by the list name when on the view list page in order to have nicer bookmark links
  • Changed the wording of 4/10 done to 4/10 complete
  • Made the inplace edit boxes bigger
  • Fixed an issue where typing markup tags < and > would cause the list item to render wrong
  • It should no longer be possible to add empty list items

I’ve just made the ListifyApp I’ve been working on for a while public. It offers a simple way of creating…wait for it…drum roll…LISTS. Yes you heard correct, it gives you the ability to create lists. You can add “items” to these lists. Ok never mind it’s a bloody Todo list application, I admit.

So why the heck would I create something like this, these things grow on trees and they are bundled as tutorials with most web frameworks these days. The answer is simple I suppose. I wanted to learn backbone.js and find out how to use MongoDB with Java. Overall, mission accomplished, the app also uses the Rift framework built by Wireweb.

You might also notice the very nice look and feel, of course I’m not responsible for that bit, I’m not that creative. I’ve simply used Twitter Bootstrap for that.

Back to the app now, the clever bit about the Listify App is that when you create a new list, it will give you a two links to it, a read only link and a write access link. You can share these with friends, family, colleagues or even enemies, what do I care, anyway it’s brilliant.

Why don’t you just head over there now and create your self a list or two.
