Version 1.1 of Goodday was approved by Apple today. The first comment I heard was that it felt more “refined”. That was essentially the goal of this release. That’s really all you need to know, but the rest of the changes are documented in this post…

I picked PhoneGap mostly because I wanted to learn more about modern HTML, CSS, & jQuery. I viewed the cross platform capabilities as a side-benifit. In fact I have’t released a version yet for the other app stores. So here are some tips I learned while developing GoodDay.
GoodDay is an app that’s now available in the iTunes App Store. I developed this application over several late nights and during our son Gabe’s naps on our last vacation. I did this because wanted something between laborious calorie tracking software and a daily checklist. Why track every detail to motivate yourself? I also did [...]
