iOctocat – a GitHub app for the iPhone

Today a new project of mine has been released into the wild: iOctocat – a GitHub app for the iPhone and iPod Touch. It is open source and available on the App Store

Github Newsfeed on the iPhoneVersion 0.7.0 can already be downloaded, 0.8.1 is currently reviewed by Apple. Up to now these features are supported:

  • My Private News Feed
  • My Activity Feed
  • Profile View
  • My Repositories
  • Repository Details

Version 0.8.1 will also display a list of recent commits on a repository and the commit details. Things like user following and repository watching are in the backlog, some of them require the new GitHub API to implement support therefor first (like the repository watchlist).

I’m still looking for some more beta testers and people who would like to review the app. If you are interested please mail your device UUID to ioctocat@dennisbloete.de. Participation from the developer front is also welcome – feel free to fork, add missing features or report issues :)
