iPad Software Bounty
I have looked at the iPad and got hooked. It looks like it can do 80% of my daily tasks and all while in a great form factor for the road.
But what about the other 20%?
Well the task it cannot accomplish is to provide me with an interface for doing web-coding. To do that an application would be required that can sync a folder structure (Subversion for example) with a server and enable me to navigate that folder structure. It would then have a built in editor with which I can edit the text files in that structure.
Well I really want that app, an it might take an incentive for someone to build and publish it beyond the pure business possibilities. So I want to pledge a bounty of $1000 (US) to the first person to contact me witht the followig:
An application that has been submitted to th iTunes App Store that has the following features:
1. Subversion Management of multiple projects (i.e. from multiple repositories)
2. Browsing of these project folders
3. Text editing of Text Files in these projects.
4. Syntax highlighting while editing for at least HTML, PHP, CSS, JavaScript (possibly extendable think TextMate)
5. Code folding while editing (again think TextMate)
Upon receipt of this notification I will immediately get in touch with the developer and arrange for an test install on my iPad via XCode to verify that it matches this specification.
As soon as the application features are verified the bounty will be paid. The bounty includes a license to the Application transferred via an iTunes Promo Code that enables free download of the Application for 1 iTunes account.
