Code Shogun

A month ago, I received an email from Google’s Marketing department:

Hello! I’m Linda Tong, with the Android team at Google, and I am contacting you regarding your application on Android Market. Your application, NPR Podcasts, is currently one of the top apps in its individual category, and we would like to showcase it on the Android Market website at http://www.android.com/market/free.html#app=nprpodcasts.

And today, it shows:

There are still some bugs and improvements I need to make.  But I really don’t have time now.  Hmmm… need to squeeze some time…

ShopFusion is a remake of DealsDroid.  Instead of client side (G1) processing all the deals RSS information, I created a server-side crawler in PHP and stored the information in a very simple MySQL database.  When the client queries the data, it returns in a light-weight JSON format.  So the speed and performance are greatly enhanced.  DealsDroid is still on the market but deprecated .  Please download ShopFusion instead and let me know if you have any commet and suggest.

Enjoy!
