Announcing the Titanium Application Contest Winners!

by Jeff Haynie on April 21, 2009

For the past two weeks, we’ve been on a quest to search high and low for the developer who could produce the most downloaded Titanium app AND the developer with the highest rated Titanium app, based on community voting. Many of you worked days, nights and weekends pouring your talent into your apps and your good humor into the IRC. We wanted to see what could be done in a short period of time, and we must say, we are pretty excited by the results. We challenged you to give us your best shot in a quick timeframe and you delivered.

So, who won? Drum roll please…

- Andreas Ritter’s “NuShell” application received the highest rating, 4 stars out of 46 votes.

- Abishek Tiwari’s “Raviex Videos” application has been downloaded 482 times (over 700 total since the first submission).

Congrats to Andreas and Abishek who are each taking home some extra stimulus money – $500 (USD)! And, of course, the first ten developers who submitted an app will be receiving some cool limited edition Appcelerator t-shirts. Check your mailboxes soon.

We appreciate everyone’s involvement and thank you for coding away! Titanium is a great platform because you help make it that way. Please keep the comments and feedback coming! Keep following @appcelerator on Twitter to get the latest updates and be sure to stay tuned for the next Titanium release… it’s just around the corner – sooner than you think.

And remember, submissions of your Titanium applications don’t end here. Feel free to continue developing and adding new apps in Titanium Developer and promoting them through your networks. We’ll continue to expand the app marketplace and offer more opportunities for you to distribute and promote your application in the near future. As always, your feedback and ideas are welcome. Please send them over to us!

Code Strong!

Congratulations, Andreas! I enjoy using NuShell and am looking forward to your next update.

And Abishek, congratulations to you. Thanks for developing Raviex Videos. I used it again this morning to find Abbott & Costello’s classic comedy routine “Who’s on First?” The app found several versions–I enjoyed having a choice!

Thanks Bill, I will try to make Raviex Videos more useable and feature-full as and how I learn more about Titanium.

Any suggestions are most welcome.

Thank you Bill! I am currently re factoring some of the code to make it easier maintainable and prepare NuShell for new features. I hope to have a new version out next week.
