Featured App: Mood of the Nation
At the end of summer 2009 I accepted a full time position with a local startup called PurpleForge. I became the first full time employee, and my job was (and still is) to create iPhone apps built on PurpleForge technology.
The first thing I did was take a prototype app they already had commissioned, and finish it off. This app became Mood of the Nation. I took the raw app and changed a lot of the code, streamlining it and also adding a bunch of functionality as well.
This is the main page which shows a graph of recent activity. You can swipe the image left and right to get more graphs. You can set up your account with the button in the bottom left corner, and also set preferences.
In the second tab you can set your mood. When you send an update, you can also send your mood to Twitter and/or Facebook.
Here you can track what everyone is saying regarding Mood of the Nation on Twitter.
The app also has question-of-the-day functionality. The app queries our servers for questions to ask, and after you’ve answered the question you can see everyone else’s answer as an aggregate.
