Hi imo, there's no such list currently. The closest thing we have is the participants table on the wiki, which has a column for the platform. You can click on the column header and it will automatically sort them by platform. However half of it is missing entries. Even the submissions I have, many of them do not contain info on which device they run in the application description. I find myself having to hunt down clues from the announce threads or even just guessing from the screenshots

Once I have all the submissions in the voting threads, I plan to go back and flesh that column out in the wiki with the final data - but that's like the final thing to do. In the meantime you can join me on the treasure hunt

I really don't know if I want to open threads and make 100 posts for the entries, I don't even know if I can without the forum booting me off as a spammer :P I might just have to batch them into 5-6 a post.

However the version for the competition (0.0.2) is still available on the original download link given on the competition entry page.

Is it ok to continue working on the app (and checking into the repo) as long as the original download link (and file) stays untouched? When people want to look at the code for that given version, I can provide the link to the given release as well.

I must admit, I was expecting this problem today from you. I noticed this post on Wednesday

I'm wrapping it up for release 0.1.0, which will be the public beta release. Expect it on Friday..

I was actually writing this post at the same time, and added the second paragraph after reading your post hoping you and others might pay attention to it.

I'm afraid it's pretty evident that you've broken one of the rules of the competition, as not only have you built the new code but you've linked and sharing on your thread...

I just checked in Version 0.1.0, which is the public beta build for the first official release. Feel free to install and test it and please report any bugs you might find.

Changelog:

* Added sharing to photo detail page
* Optimized code
* Better alignment of user profile data
* New icon
* Updated Instago description text
* App name now capital "Instago"

The .deb file is available here:

Source is here:

Please report bugs either in this thread or here:

If the public beta goes well this will be published to the store as step 1 (Implement as much features as possible without actually authenticating).

Happy testing!

As I said on Monday on this thread, I don't mind you working on new features - that's great! However pushing them but especially releasing them is against the competition rules.

As a way to fix this situation and remain in the competition, I would ask that you remove the deb and the link to the new release. If that is not possible, please let me know asap so we have time to make adjustments.
