Welcome RedditHunter everybody!

Hi everyone!

Is with great pleasure that I present you another one of my creations - RedditHunter.com - Reddit Search Made Easy!


I just posted violently in a bunch of internet resources so be sure to check them:

Reddit/Entrepreneur (http://www.reddit.com/r/Entrepreneur/comments/2k9slx/found_an_itch_to_scratch_reddit_hunter_was_born/)

"Last week I just found myself, while developing a brand new app, desperate with reddit search. The results were too cluttered and information like the comments and ups/downs were hard to track. After thinking to myself that reddit search was not satisfying me for the third time, I decided to take measures in my own hands. Searched the reddit api and started coding some javascript.
I then spent my whole Sunday coding, testing and getting through some cycles of trial and error. By the end of the day I had some satisfactory product and was pretty proud of it. After using it for some days I decided that this should go online, I added some information, some contacts and explanation and there you have it, my first scratched itch:
Hope you enjoy it!"

Reddit Sideproject (http://www.reddit.com/r/SideProject/comments/2k9t0t/reddit_hunter_reddit_search_made_easier/)

"Ever thought that Reddit search is a little bit disappointing?
After having that thought for the third time in a single day, I dedicated myself to create a clean, fresh interface for reddit searches. After some trial and error, some hours and a lot of sweat I present you www.reddithunter.com - Reddit Search made easy and clean 25 results at a time!
Give it a go, what do you think of it?"

HackerNews and ProductHunt were also attacked ;) so please, be sure to visit those sites and help me out by upvoting those posts, it would definetely help!

So, what do you think of my new project?

Big things coming... tomorrow!

Just to say friends, in the last few days, I´ve been working a lot!

It all started last Sunday when, for the third time in that morning, I was dissapointed with Reddit search. So I took measures in my own hands and developed my took on a new and fresh reddit search.

It's coming, just a few hours ;)

New app coming soon!

Hi everyone, I'm writing this post just to say that Aspiring Ninja is not dead and that the newest app is almost ready!

It will be called 'Lame O'Matic' and is basically a very simple app that generates random lame jokes.

Want a sneak preview??

"What did one ocean say to the other ocean? Nothing, they just waved."

This is the kind of thing you'll find there. It's almost ready, so be sure to check the blog in the next couple of days.

Sincerely
Aspiring Ninja, Cláudio R.

Post Challenge Musings and ideas

Hi everyone!

As promised I decided not to abandon this blog and I will be posting here all of my ideas and most recent projects.

Lately I've been thinking a lot, and to be honest I hope I hope I had this ideas earlier (during or before the challenge was the ideal time!). Since more or less the end of the challenge that this two ideas have been bouncing in my head.

The first one is a very simple product that would generate a base that could be used for thousands of ideas. The idea is simple, you have an XML file that contains information. Let's call the file our database, This could be anything, from recipes, to text, everything. Then, the next step is obvious, to build an XML parser that is powerfull enough to be extended to any kind of XML structure. This way, accessing the information in a file we have enough building room to build a lot of different applications.

(At this time, the first and simplest idea of them all is already being polished, so hope to see a new Aspiring Ninja App pretty soon!).

My second idea comes from a By-Product. I'm a big proponent of by products and think that they can grow everywhere. During the challenge I was carefully writing down every single problem I had and its resolution. I ended up with a pretty big list of common situations one can find while programming for Android.
The next step will be sharing this information with everybody. I'm still unsure what will be the method used but I will share this information and try to make the most out of it.

This is all for now, until next time I leave you with a phrase that has been in my head lately:


Do it! And do it now!
