Show HN: My first serious project, a Twitter client for Windows Phone

12 points by gjulianm ↗ HN
I've been working the last months on a Twitter app for Windows Phone called Ocell. It all started as a test project to explore development in that platform, but I started to give it more time and released it to the Marketplace. It's my first serious project and I would like to know what does HN think about it. It's also opensourced, so you can also take a look at the code on GitHub (https://github.com/gjulianm/Ocell). It would be really great to have your feedback on this :)

Thanks a lot!

Love the logo and the name! At the windowsphone link, I think the first thing people should see is a brief paragraph about what the app does, rather than have bullet points first. (I don't use Twitter so can't speak to that.)

Thanks!

I think you're right, I wrote that first because I noticed that people didn't read the full description and they didn't knew what features the app had, but having a little introductory paragraph above that list makes much more sense :)

Why not charge for it?

It's a project made in my spare time, using open source libraries... I don't know, charging for it was not in my plans. However, if I add push notifications I'll probably charge to cover the expenses.
