R.I.P APPULO.US

POST BY RENE818 OF iPHONE ENTHUSIAST

It's official, Appulo.us will be shutting down soon due to the dev not being able to manage, optimize, develop or scale Appulo.us to meet the demand of millions (yes millions) of users. So what now?...

TDDebug (one of the Admins at Hackulo.us) has created AppTrackr which is said to completely replace Appulo.us. AppTrackr will also inherit Appulo.us current database and will be significantly better then Appulo.us

Highlights of the user interface

  • Ajax is used for almost all operations, making the website more responsive and faster. Javascript will render and construct the page instead of our server.
  • App icons are fully rounded instead of being sometimes rectangular and ugly (like on Appulous).
  • Screenshots are viewed in a small frame which can be navigated with buttons. The screenshots will fade/slide in from each other.
  • Categories and sorting options are easy to access and manipulate.
  • Search is easy to operate.
  • Default options on submission are tailored for mass-submission.

AppTrackr is currently in Beta and the only way you can try it out is if your part of Hackulo.us Tier 3 Donators list.

But at $30 dollars to be Tier 3 I rather just wait for the public release which is said to be by the end of this month.

More info as it comes in.
