Release 2 was submitted to the App Store two days before the launch last friday, but is still waiting for Apple’s approval before you can get your hands on it. In the meantime, I’ve been hard at work on Release 3. I put together this screencast which fixes known bugs in Release 2 and adds some new features. I hope you enjoy!

- graffitio: ...and, I broke it. We'll be back up shortly.
- graffitio: Development has resumed. I'll be submitting 7.1 to Apple soon. Release 8 is going to be iPhone 3.0 only and will rock your socks off!
- graffitio: @MrMustard i noticed a bug last night, and since i was on a bus, i couldn't fix it, so i disabled them. they'll be back soon.
- graffitio: @tekniks it doesn't auto refresh. new messages are pushed to your phone. its much more efficient than hitting refresh in graffitio.
- graffitio: Infinite Chat Preview http://tinyurl.com/7owg2n
- graffitio: @justinkirscht indeed they are! its like aol circa 1994. i'm working on an app called infinite chat to better suit their needs.
- graffitio: @stoneh There's a few things I need to do in the database to get that working. I've just put it off, but I'll try to get it done for Rel8.
- graffitio: @MrMustard lots of bug fixes, plugged memory leaks, and performance improvements. oh, and an Edit button on the Followed screen.
I noticed a new wall for a neighborhood in the vicinity last night, so I made one for my neighborhood from my house. By last night they were both gone. Are they just not showing up because of the location bug, or are you removing walls for some reason?
I don’t have an iPhone or iPod Touch, but I was browsing the apps store for amusement and was immediately interested in this application. It seems like a really brilliant idea, you can tell I’m interested when I start wanting to suggest and design elements. I have just a few things I couldn’t resist tossing out there in hopes that they may show up in later updates.
1) I really do like the idea of having a user-determined radius. Now I don’t fully understand the concept of how a radius is determined by the phone/touch unit rather than the wall, but I thought it would be interesting to be able to select the radius the wall is viewable from when you create it. Now this may not be possible given how the app is designed, but I’m sure the alternate of being able to select a detection radius from your unit would be just as popular.
2) I think temporary posts would lend themselves to an even more exploratory feel if the poster could select how long their post was visible in the wall archive. Also if the wall itself had a creator-set expiration date, it’d be kind of like a little self-destruct function for any sort of data you don’t want hanging around forever. And it’s just plain fun.
3) You can post text to walls, but how about relevant images and photos or links to information on the location? I think that would enrich the experience and add more knowledge and other goodies to each location.
Looks good, but you misspelled everywhere. Thought you might like to know before it goes to Apple. :)
I know! I noticed it after I recorded it and didn’t feel like going back and rerecording it. It’s fixed in the code.
