Hi, I'm Henrik Joreteg
I'm a happy, geeky, husband and very-soon-to-be-dad. I love skiing, web dev stuff, and independent thought.
Joreteg.com is where I occasionally write about the things that interest me and come spilling out of my brain.
I live in West Richland, WA and happily work at &yet where I do a bunch of Javascript, Django and Python stuff.

A Webapp for Building iPhone Apps
Normally having a custom iPhone or Android app is something that is out of reach for smaller organizations. Also, as you may have heard the Apple’s app approval process is quite a headache. Several of my friends and co-workers have written iPhone apps and the truth is, that it’s a very real possibility that your app won’t be accepted and all your work will have been wasted.
When I saw David Kaneda’s amazing jQTouch project, it made me realize that you could actually build “navtive-feeling” applications using nothing but HTML, CSS, and JavaScript. So I started playing with it.
But the beauty of the web, is that it’s dynamic. That’s when I had a bit of an epiphany: I realized that it’s possible to build tools that will let people build their own custom iPhone app and completely circumvent the App Store. Check out this little demo that I built. It’s still needs a bunch of styling and other work but I thought it was interesting nonetheless.
I’d recommend watching the HD version just to see things more clearly.
