DashApp released as open source

As part of transitioning DashApp from an iPad application into an HTML5 app known as Deck, we are releasing the iOS version of the DashApp code as open source under the GPL.

The code is available now on GitHub.com

The development of DashApp was fervent in an attempt to be ready to ship on the first day the iPad was available.  Given this, the current state of the code is rough around the edges.  If there is sufficient interest in this project we'll invest some time in cleaning the code up and even implementing some of the additional features we had planned for the iOS version.  

In the meantime you can download the code and run the app that Apple deemed "inappropriate for the device", as it was when submitted to Apple before the iPad launch.

Deck - The Future of DashApp

As Jason mentioned on Requisite Video's Know This!, DashApp will become an HTML5 application and will be made avaliable not only on Apple's iPad, but on other touch-enabled devices as well.

Of course this is just the beginning.

The next release of DashApp will be known as "Deck", and will lay the foundation for a new computing platform under development here at Gullickson Laboratories.  The inital release of this environment will provide simular functionality to DashApp, allowing users to run multiple HTML5 WebApps in a multitasking environment but this will just be the beginning, and we will be sharing additional details of this project as they become ready for release.

Additionally Deck will become an Open Source project, once it is stable and complete enough to be useful to the Open Source community.  

If you are interested in this project, would like additional detailed information or would like to contribute you are welcome to contact us directly or begin a conversation in the forms here at gullicksonlaboratories.com

We thank you for your support and can't wait to share the future with you!
