Since we first launched a few months ago, our most common iPhone-related request has been: ”Can you make me an app?”
Only 3% of (self-selecting) developers know how to program Cocoa. As a result, few have been able to enjoy the extremely rapid growth and initial excitement of the AppStore - content creators are left sitting on the sidelines, watching developers have all the fun from afar.
Today, things will change. We saw this imbalance, and built an extremely simple way for non-technical people to create applications and distribute content on mobile platforms. Our Mobile Application Generator converts any RSS feed into a brandable mobile application in less than two minutes. It requires no programming, software downloads, or code maintenance - we’ll do all the hard work for you. For free.

Unlike web-based mobile sites, applications can easily store data locally - stories are available regardless of internet connection. Users can sync your feed and read your content on the train, in the car, or wherever else is convenient. Screenshots and a more detailed list of the product features can be found here.
The iPhone marks the beginning of the next wave of mobile smartphones. We’ll distribute your application across all open mobile platforms, so you don’t have to worry about maintaining separate projects for each. Additionally, we’ll be adding a community layer on top of all the applications in our network, so users can share and discover new content that’s relative to them. Support for multiple feeds within the same application will be supported in the near future, so larger websites can have different categories and a more customizable user experience.
We’ll be granting access to the generator on an invite basis, so get in contact or request an invite to get started.
