Developer of Six to Eight (sixtoeightapp.com), an iOS client for the Stack Exchange network. It's free, so why not take a look?

Something's changed about user timelines Thanks for the quick fix, Kevin. But, erm, could we perhaps get some regression testing run every time you push an update? I've had four or five of these panics caused by behaviour changes due to new code , and 1 star App Store reviews that might accrue during faults don't go away! |

CoreStack : An Objective C Library You need to build a CSSite object via - (id)initWithDescriptor:(CSSiteDescriptor*)_descriptor;. To build a site descriptor, either use CSSiteDescriptors (id)initWithName:(NSString*)_name andEndPoint:(NSString*)_api_endpoint;, or use CSAuth, calling updateSites then using the sites property (which is an object vector of the CSSiteDescriptors provided by StackAuth) once your delegate is notified that the site list is available. |

Six to Eight : An iPhone client (now in the App Store!) Hopefully :). I do need to retest everything, but I'll do my best to make the change for the next version. I'd not considered jailbreaks, which is a good reason to stay behind (I guess, I've not tried it :). |

Six to Eight : An iPhone client (now in the App Store!) I can probably work around and make it run in 4.0 for the next release. I can certainly see reticence in upgrading from 3.x to 4, but 4 to 4.1 is really just "plug in, wait 30 minutes whilst having coffee & danish, unplug". The upgrade stats suggest to me that most people have already done so, and some of the bug fixes are compelling, so I'd encourage you to upgrade regardless of Six to Eight. |

Six to Eight : An iPhone client (now in the App Store!) This is a fair point, and I confess it had slipped my mind from beta testing. V1.1 is in the review queue now, but I'll squeeze a fix into the next version. Sorry! |

Application marketing ideas I suspect you're right, but they really need to focus more on their power users/enthusiasts. It's what builds communities. Alienating them or making them feel abandoned is a sure fire way to let them drift off, and if I do say so myself, we're hard to replace. |

Application marketing ideas Great idea about adding the app to my SO profile. I agree with the need for some kind of "App hub" site for end users. I rather think that SOF Inc. need to have a better end user master for the whole network, that could include apps that offer other ways of accessing the network or using the data. |

Application marketing ideas Ah, but how does one advertise StackList? :) |

Application marketing ideas It's a good idea in principle, but I'm keen to keep the free version of Six to Eight entirely free - no cost, no ads. It won the competition in the state it's in, and I feel it would be sleazy to suddenly make it ad laden or pricy. I do plan a Six to Eight "Enthusiast" edition in the future with more features that would have a small cost, but that won't cover any real ad buys. |
