Paid iOS apps gone free
There are many apps which provide this service, but most of them I found out to be crap. Nowadays developers are exploiting this to popularize their apps.
So I decided to start my own thing where I can share 'really' good apps which have gone free. The idea is simple, either follow this new twitter handle #-Link-Snipped-# or keep checking this thread. I will post here and as well in twitter.
Do note that I hate doing this manually. So I have built a (not so) intelligent system, which first checks apps which have gone free from paid, second it sees how's its popularity. It considers iTunes ratings and/or web popularity and/or if it is trending on twitter etc. This is very basic system (not open sourced yet), so you may get duplicate links, or apps which may not be that good also. Thanks to Twitter API, it posts on twitter automatically. So basically, I can spend more time improving this system rather than posting tweets. Secondly, Xenforo does not have good API, so I may miss one or two links posting here.
You can give me some ideas for measuring 'good'ness of an app. Thank you 😎

Kaustubh KatdareYou just got your first follower, @#-Link-Snipped-# . Looking forward to tweets. We look to introduce ability to embed tweets, but not sure if that's what you want. -

Right.aviiYou mean tweets embedded in Xenforo's posts ? -
aviiYes, but xenforo won't allow HTML embedding otherwise it can cause major security problems. But I can make same tweet to be posted here
Following is the embed code:
Password Manager Secure + on the App Store on iTunes #-Link-Snipped-# iosguy (@iosappguy) November 22, 2013
But I can format it someway so that it looks like a tweet with fonts etc. -
Kaustubh KatdareWe'll do this using BB codes. I'm still to examine the security aspects; and decide on whether to include it or not.
-
aviiI suggest you not to include it (if you mean enabling HTML in posts).
Yes, with BB codes it should be possible, or may be a xenforo plugin, something like [twt]twitter-post-link[/twt]
I am not a PHP guy, otherwise would have tried to do it ;-) -
