Also, you might want to do some grammar-checking on the English version of the site. "We where frustrated" should be "We were frustrated," "That's why we build applist.me" should be either "That's why we built applist.me" or "That's why we're building applist.me," in "which short-link ist yours" "ist" should be "is." There are some other issues with commas, and a few places where the phrasing is awkward or contradictory ("There are no restrictions at the moment. As long as you can remember your link" could be reduced to just one sentence, and in fact either of the component sentences would work perfectly well as an answer to the question).
* Use geolocation to guess at whether to show German or English.
* Bring out the App Store selection from the preferences to the main window
in the OS X program. Link this in to the in-website selection of German
and English language (it's a good guess about which App Store they use).
This way you don't need to do the next bullet point.
* Don't rely on people seeing your .txt and .jpg in your zip file; I didn't.
Distribute your program as a .dmg disk image so that you can have an
image on the background of your window to tell people to change the
preferences.
* Might be good to have a Deutsch/English link on the applist web page.
* Consider using the App icons in the selection list on OS X. The name
shown on the iPhone is not always the same name as the official App
name so identification can be difficult in the list.
Expanded scope: * Consider a small set of categories - just 3 perhaps - along the lines
of 'useful' 'essential' and 'fun'.
* Although the core idea is good and I enjoy it, the website for me is
not very useful. I could stop writing at this point but thought I'd
say that in an ideal world I'd like to you to 'allow me to see applists
of people who would be my friend if only I knew them'.
Thanks for sharing, I enjoyed the site.http://www.thefutureoftheweb.com/blog/use-accept-language-he...
You can use this as a starting point to redirect to the appropriate language when none has been explicitly chosen. It's a small touch, but small touches all add up to a nicer experience.
Except for people living in Germany who prefer English there are plenty of people living close to Germany who may receive the german version of the site as well.
One minor gripe is that i was served the German language version by default. Unless you are targeting 99% Germans, perhaps it should be the other way around.
A list like this might be helpful, but I suppose I could also just store `ls ~/Music/iTunes/Mobile Applications` in Simplenote to get about the same functionality.
That said, I think this is a good way to work with what's available.
Also appshopper.com, but the have to mutch overhead for simply sharing your apps, imho.
FTFY
You can do heuristics, etc, but you have a huge mapping problem of programs to actual apps
