FreshBooks Open Sources iPhone App

Posted in iPhone, mobile, news by Raanan Bar-Cohen on January 6, 2009

“We learned first hand that it’s not easy to make an iPhone app. Taking some inspiration from the folks at Automattic (who open sourced their free WordPress iPhone application), we’ve decided to give back to our customers by sharing what we’ve learned.”

Very cool.

      @Rayanne –

      I’m obviously biased, but I think more iPhone apps should go Open Source :)

      Hopefully our two projects can also help each other — we’ve got a few new features that are coming in the next release of the WordPress for iPhone app that may be interesting for you guys.

    That sounds awesome, Raanan! Please do keep us informed. You’re truly inspirational : )
