Use Social Bookmarks as sources
To create QR Code bookmarks, you need to have URLs. And most of the QR Code generators only provide you the form to create bookmarks, and you have to fill out the URL field by yourself. How comes this could be useful?
9 Different Sources
In QR+Emoji 1.1, you are allow to create bookmarks in brand new way: through social bookmark websites.
In the settings panel, we have pre-defined 9 different social bookmarks that were famous around US, Japan and Taiwan. You are able to pick one as your favorite, and to create QR Code bookmarks from there.
If you prefer English or national wide sources, we have digg, reddit and delicious.
If you prefer Japanese sources, we have hatena bookmark, livedoor clip and Yahoo! JP Bookmarks.
And for Chinese or Taiwan local sources, you got HEMiDEMi, funP, and MyShare.
Scroll and Generate
Just like the UI design you saw in the previous version, QR+Emoji extended usability of bookmark editor, you are able to switch between popular and upcoming bookmarks, and pull the table to reload the bookmarks.
If you are not sure about what the bookmark is, you can tap the blue button on the right to have website preview, it just loads like any in-app web browsers you know on iPhone OS.
Nice? You will find out more when you tried.

iTunes LP/Extras as iPhone App manual
To make them a fancy and lovely manual for your App will be a wonderful idea.
Apple had posted developer resources for iTunes LP/Extras recently, including templates, best practices, development guide, asset delivery, testing and TuneKit. (That’s a lot.)
Why
You might be wondering, why bother doing this? Since it’s all about your App, you can save your time creating website for your App, instead, doing it in iTune LP/Extras. This limits the climate/atmosphere to device-desktop like iPhone-iTunes only, and makes stronger connection in between. So users can buy your App in AppStore, play around the manual in iTunes, and use the App on iPhone.
Questions remain
So there’s one thing remain. Oh, wait, maybe two. First, how to deliver iTunes LP/Extra file to your user within your iPhone App? The easiest way to solve this might be providing an external link for user to download from desktop by using Safari browser, then open the file with iTunes. But, how many people will want and able to do this when sawing the notice in your App on their iPhone on the street?
Second, Apple also said it required an existing iTunes contract and some reviews from iTunes team for “appropriateness of content and technical quality.” Does that means we’re not allow to distribute our own iTunes LP/Extras outside iTunes Store? The answer it unknown (for now).
Best way to distribute iTunes LP/Extra
The best way I thought so far was:
- Put your iTunes LP/Extra file on your website
- Place the URL in your iTunes Connect’s application information Application/Support URL
So that users can open it when accessing App Store on iTunes.

Black Cat Clock 1.0
After one week of coding and one week of waiting, the iPhone App: Black Cat Clock is available on iTunes Store now.
It’s a simple clock app with my roommate, Lulu. Lulu was born in Sep. 2008, currently 8 months old, mixed, black cat. i love him so much that I decided to create an iPhone App for him, in honor of his handsome, vigorous and good manners.
The clock comes with three little features:
- Analog Clock: an IKEA swiss clock in the picture, which has Lulu standing next as company.
- Meow Meow Hourly: by default, this clock will sounds the hours audibly on Lulu’s meow. You can turn off this feature in the setting menu.
- Lulu’s Messages: this is designed for network-connected iPhone and iPod touch users only. You can check Lulu’s secret daily messages over internet.
And thanks for Brad and Hu’s helps from Tokyo, this app comes with four different languages, including English, Japanese (日本語), Trad. Chinese (正體中文) and Simp. Chinese (简体中文). Hope it could satisfy all the cat lovers from these regions.
Last, it costs 99 cents, and your kindly supports can provide Lulu with better cat foods!
