Spendy!: A Proof of Concept Web Application for the iPhone

2008-07-04T05:00:00Z

After hearing some of the hype around “iPhone support” in Ruby on Rails (although it was already there before the iPhone was even announced) I decided to dive in and check out what all the hype was about. Along my journey I learned quite a bit about iUI (the iPhone javascript and CSS that really makes it all possible), RESTful authentication, routes, and HTTP request handling. The result was a fairly polished, albeit very simple, application named Spendy!.

Spendy! is a web application to track personal expenditures on-the-go. The interface is simple, and anyone can sign up, login, and add some expenses.

To get the source to Spendy! you can check it out from the repository:

svn checkout http://spendy.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/ spendy-read-only

I have not really scoured the web to discover if a Netflix plugin already existed for Mephisto or not, but if not, here is my rendition. Albeit, the plugin I present to you is simply a hack of the last.fm plugin for Mephisto from Dan Webb. At any rate, grab it here, and make sure you read the README file for instructions on how to get up and running.
