When we launched our developer API, we were hoping developers would use it to fill in gaps in our product offering – and you have! The first of a few interesting projects (that we know of – but we also like surprises) has launched: the Pinch Media Watcher, a native iPhone SDK application for viewing your application’s stats. Thanks to Graham Abbott, the developer, who built and released the application.
There’s still a ton of other projects we’d love to see built with our API. Just off the top of our heads, this includes:
- dashboard widgets, for a variety of platforms
- a native OS X application
- integration with other iPhone service providers, including sales report parsers
- e-mail alerts, text messaging, RSS feeds, etc. for easier consumption of stats
- a ‘has my application been tested yet?’ service
- sales and usage data ‘co-ops’ – share yours to see others’
- integration into other analytics products
- website ‘flair’ – show off that unique user number!
- better data visualizations (don’t like our graphs? make a new interface…)
- Twitter / IM bots for stats retrieval
If you’re working on one of these, or any other project involving our API, let us know — we’d love to help you promote it.
