Markat Icon

Today Markat version 0.2.0 was released to Jolla Store. This intermediate release brings some new features and UI improvements.

Most prominent new feature is the support for item variations/options, like different colors and sizes.

Auction items in search result lists are now automatically updated every 6 – 20 seconds. This behaviour can be switched off in the settings, as you can now also do with automatic updates in item view.

To make searches more comfortable it is now possible to store searches (at least their parameters) locally for future use.

I am planning to release version 0.3.0 next week with complete integration of shopping and finding API (still no in app orders and bid placement, that is trading API). There will also be more UI improvements.

Browse eBay the Sailfish way with Markat

If you own a Jolla phone, powered by the new and incredible Sailfish operating system, and if you like to browse through the endless offers on eBay to find interesting stuff, then Markat might be the right App for you. Markat (old high german for market) is a native Sailfish OS client for the eBay API. It allows currently to browse the categories, search for stuff based on keywords and lets you filter your results. But all of this in the swipe based Sailfish way.

ocNews Sailfish 1.8.0 CoverActions

ocNews 1.8.0 on Sailfish

Today I released ocNews 1.8.0 that brings some long awaited new features. On both, Sailfish OS and MeeGo 1.2 Harmattan, it is now possible to directly navigate between news items. On Sailfish this is also possible via the cover actions. Next and previous items are delegated from the list you called them from. So it also recognizes the sorting of the list and loads previous and next article based on your settings. On Sailfish OS you can find these navigation in the push up and push down menus, on Harmattan there are icons in the bottom toolbar.

ocNews Sailfish 1.6.0 Feeds Main View

Flat Feeds Main View

I am happy to announce the availability of version 1.6.0 of ocNews, the ownCloud News App client for MeeGo 1.2 Harmattan (Nokia N9) and Jolla SailfishOS. This new version brings some new features, fixes, changes and translations.

First thing to mention is, that it is now possible to choose between two different layouts for the main/start view. There is still the old folder centred view, that displays your folders and a click on it brings you to their feeds. The new view is a flat feed view, where all feeds are displayed on one page, categorized by their parent folders. You can change your preferred layout in the settings.

Finally I found the time to reorganize my code a bit and upload it to Github. So, everyone that is interested in the code or want to contribute can find it there now.

A few days ago I also release version 1.5.1 to OpenRepos.net with only minor changes.

For all the people that want to know more about the usage of ocNews, I recorded two new videos and updated the usage guide.

ocNews version 1.5.0 is now released for MeeGo 1.2 Harmattan and Sailfish OS on OpenRepos.net. The main new feature is the ability to sort the news items. You can set a default behavior in the settings but can still change the sorting for a view temporarily. On Sailfish OS use the pull down menu of an article list view to access the temporary options. On Harmattan it is in the menu of the article list view.

ocNews 1.4.1 is now available for Sailfish OS, too. Because Nokia closed its Store for new MeeGo apps beginning with 1st of January 2014 both versions, for Saiflish OS and Harmattan, are now on OpenRepos.net. ocNews for Sailfish OS is a native app that uses the Silica UI components. On both operating systems the ocNews background engine is not started as a daemon anymore. Instead of that the engine daemon is now started on request by the reader app through a D-Bus call. This makes it possible, to close the whole app (reader and engine) completely. Here you can find the complete changelog.

Seems as if ocNews, the ownCloud News client for the Nokia N9, was one of the last Apps for MeeGo that got an update in the Nokia Store. Nokia closed the store for updates and new MeeGo apps on 1st of January 2014, but the most important update of ocNews hit it right before this date.

Version 1.3.1 of ocNews brings some important new features. At first it is now split in two parts, one background engine/daemon and the reader. This makes it possible, that your stuff gets synchronized timed in background.

There’s life in the old dog yet. Yes, Nokia under Elop did not love the N9 really, but the community did – and many love it still today. So, here is something for the people that don’t have their Jolla yet.

ocNews is a client app for the ownCloud News Application, a cloud based Atom/RSS feed aggregator. It is designed for the Nokia N9 mobile phone and it’s MeeGo 1.2 Harmattan operating system. The next step will be Jolla’s Sailfish OS.

Currently version 1.2.4 is available in the Nokia Store, version 1.3.0 is already on it’s way to it. Sources are coming soon.
