So You Want to be a WeAmDev(er)?

Now, since WeAmDev is short one member, we have decided on a challenge to determine iChromeX's successor.

Codename: Fr0stint0sh
In order to apply, send us a program for Macs that looks like the App Store and can load custom HTML pages. It must also be able to download and install packages (think Icy for Mac).
Ad you may have guessed, the name of this program will be Fr0stint0sh.

The deadline is Jan 11, 2011 at 11:11 AM (or 1/11/11 @ 11:11) (We love binary).

Email the finished product to our support email, WeAmDev@gmail.com. The best one will be chosen by the team and its creator will be interviewed online by me. If you are accepted, you will become the newest WeAmDever (and I won't be the rookie anymore!)
If nobody succeeds, we will select the next person.

So, good luck and happy coding! Any questions may be addressed to our twitter account @WeAmDev, my twitter account, @AdamApollo11, or the team email, WeAmDev@gmail.com

-Adam

EDIT:

To be more accurate with our challenge:

What we want is something that looks like this



Except instead of showing the mac app store pages we want to have custom URL's shown within the app.


Also Needed:
Downloads available from within app
Pages need to load on their own
"Tabs" must move the app from webpage to webpage
When you click on a different "tab" and a new page loads you /must/ be able to resume your last "tab's" webpage


Good Luck - RobinoFree & Adam

  1. Would you have ads like Cydia does and also would the owners of the repos be able to control the GUI on there page (custom or default)? All that I could think of you would need a new file type with a plist that would tell if the GUI of the page would be custom or not and locate a html file that would show it in the web browser with adds and such. The install contents could be a deb.
