Blog them all

While I worked on my apple push notification Ruby on Rails plugin, I wondered if it would make sense to create a service which allow independent developers to send notifications. Independent developer would not have to worry about sending those anymore, they would just call a XML/JSON friendly url with the message, etc, and the service would take care of the rest.

You’d setup your application once on the service, and then would have a specific url to call for sending notifications, or could use an HTML page to send them manually.

Would you use it, and if yes what feature would you look for? You can register for the service at Apple Push Notification online service.

I’m working on a Ruby on Rails plugin for managing iPhone 3.0 Apple Push Notification. Because this is under NDA I can’t say much about it here, but you’ll find a password protected git repository on the Apple Developer Forums, in this specific post. Patch and feedbacks welcome if you are an iPhone developer.

I also bought my tickets for WWDC 2009, and will be in California from April 30th to June 14th. I might also be at the Railsconf 2009 at Las Vegas but only on Tuesday and Wednesday.

I’d be interested to meet anyone in the iPhone/Rails community reading this blog.
