The Citizen Reporter plug in for TapLynx adds a feature to let you take a picture and email it to someone without leaving your TapLynx based application. TapLynx is a framework for creating an App based on RSS feeds. It is a great way to get an application into the App store quickly. You simply modify the contents of a configuration file and the application takes care of the rest. In my experience, the hardest part about getting your TapLynx based application into the App store is the App store process itself. The Citizen Reporter plugin is now available on github.

The OOZWebView plugin for TapLynx is now available on github. This plugin is designed to extend the features of the TapLynx ability to provide an html file in an application for an "About" screen. Using the OOZWebView the developer can have a local html file appear when there is no network connection and a remote file appear when there is a network connection. Tyree Apps improved the original OOZWebView by also adding a "back" button for users to be able to navigate multiple pages within an "About" screen.

Tyree Apps is pleased to have contributed a fork of Matt Gallagher's excellent audio streaming library as a TapLynx plugin. The Tyree Apps Audio Streamer Plugin is built to work within a TapLynx application to let developers provide access to mp3 files and streams.

The Aimless Surfing widget seeks to help you use the web to waste time more efficiently. When going off for a browsing session, you are somewhat limited by the url's that you know by heart or that are suggested by your home page. With the Aimless Surfing gadget, you are presented with a new url from the TinyUrl database of locations.
