Hi Sam,<div><br></div><div>I really like Sencha Touch, which is a modern open source JS framework that makes it easy to build not only Mobile Apps that work on IOS or Android, but also directly from the Web:</div><div><br>
</div><div><a href="http://www.sencha.com/products/touch">http://www.sencha.com/products/touch</a></div><div><br></div><div>On their demos page you'll find apps that pull updates from blog, twitter, and weather. Here is one for twitter:</div>
<div><br></div><div><a href="http://dev.sencha.com/deploy/touch/examples/production/touchtweets/">http://dev.sencha.com/deploy/touch/examples/production/touchtweets/</a></div><div><br></div><div>I have a few examples of my own, but I prefer to share them privately in respect to my clients.</div>
<div><br></div><div>But this one I built for DrupalCamp Brazil 2011:</div><div><br></div><div><a href="http://foz.iss.im/">http://foz.iss.im/</a></div><div><br></div><div>This one is quite interesting because it's Sencha Touch in the frontend, and 3 Drupals in the backend. I'm using a different Drupal site to serve data for each language. This was part of my talk demonstrating that we can access different services from a unique interface. BTW, in this event we had the honor to receive Dries Buytaert for the first time in Latin America. This was the 'desktop' site:</div>
<div><br></div><div><a href="http://foz2011.drupal-latino.org/en">http://foz2011.drupal-latino.org/en</a></div><div><br></div><div>There is only one negative point of Sencha Touch: it only works on Webkit browsers (Google Chrome, Safari). Support for Windows mobile and BlackBerry are landing. Firefox is uncertain.</div>
<div><br></div><div>If you need any more information, please let me know, and I'll be glad to help.</div><div><br></div><div>Kind regards,</div><div>Nick<br><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Fri, Mar 1, 2013 at 11:41 AM, Sam Cohen <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:sam@samcohen.com" target="_blank">sam@samcohen.com</a>></span> wrote:<br>

<br>I often get requests from clients to build simple mobile apps that pull in data from their Drupal site. For example, a client just asked for a simple app that would basically pull in updates from their blog.<br>
<br>The wisdom of such as App aside, I don't do this type of work and don't really know anyone who does. <br><br>A couple of questions.<br><br>1. Any idea what a simple app like this -- IOS and Android -- should cost to have built? Including any associated costs of adding it to itunes, etc?<br>
<br>2. Any tools out there that would help build a simple App like this without having to learn how to build apps. I'm thinking add rss feed, get app type of thing?<br><br>3. If anyone out there does this and is interested in the work, feel free to contact me off list. (I don't know if I will get bombarded with emails, so I apologize in advance if I don't get back to you -- a rough cost estimate in your email to me would definitely be helpful)<br>
