Finally got round to putting together a decent enough client! Although the code is pretty rough now and the app would crash after a while, but at least it’s a start innit?!

The article pages were generated by a custom template that’s defined in JSON, and the image on the cover page is grabbed from Instagram’s API:
The iconic page flip effects were lifted straight out from AFKPageFlipper. Thanks again Marco!
Hi Friend,
Your work is amazing. I just downloaded the app from GitHub.
Thanks a lot
thx! hope you’re not too put off with the appalling code quality.
Hi Kenny,
First of all, thanks a lot for the great articles about Flipboard breakdown. I always knew that Flipboard wasn’t ranking articles using a social rank. But, the layout and the idea of using twitter as a ‘delicious in magazine’ style is really appealing.
I would like to try and create a webpage from your server that displays tweets/favorites.
Could you please tell me about the variables that need to be set? Mongodb, twitter stuff, et cetera?
regards,
Maurits
Hi Mauris, thanks for the interest! I’ve yet to add code to pull the scored feeds from mongodb and reformat into json yet. Will add that back within this week, so please drop by again, thanks!
Hello, this is a really amazing work!
but how to run the server side application? i used netbeans to open it but it is not recognized as a netbeans project. any help will be appreciated!
thanks!
okay, so i made a new project in netbeans and put the files manually. it worked!
glad it worked out! basically you just run ant in the base dir and it should compile and run the script just fine.
thx for replying my comment! (judging on your profile, I thought you were too busy to reply my comment
)
Anyway, I’m interested in making similar project on Android device. Actually I’ve made a simple Android framework for retrieving and parsing data from any server then displayed the data in HTML5 format (using Android webview). But I have no talent in aesthetics, I don’t know how to make elegant design like what you did on Cassius. So, I’m wondering, do you know any Cassius-like HTML5 design that I could use?
Thank you for your time!
I came across JQuery Masonry recently. Looks like exactly what you need to render those grids in html. Please check it out and let me know if it’s at all useful!
Wow thank you, yeah it’s useful! I also added some CSS+JavaScript templates from Laker Framework!
Thanks!!
