I've been working hard re-engineering Moola for the iPhone the past two weeks. I had started this project about two months ago, but I've been so busy at my full time job, I haven't had time to work on it.
The iPhone version will have more features, and so far is engineered better than my Android version. I'm going to base Moola 2.0 for Android off of my new design. Hopefully I can get some help with the art, so the users aren't stuck with my crappy programmer art in these two projects.
I'm using Core Data for the iPhone project, instead of rolling my own with SQLite like I did on Android. I'm hoping to step away from writing SQL if I can help it because it can get quite hairy and error prone because of the unpredictability of user input, which are used in the queries. Plus, I feel like I'm reinventing the wheel (which I have a bad habit of doing, because I feel like I'm cheating if I don't write my own code). At this point, I'm wondering if Google has a parallel to Core Data I can take advantage of on the next iteration of Moola on the Android.
I would really love to get a web component going for Moola, which would require a ton of work. Unfortunately, I have absolutely no spare time for this, given that I handle ALL the coding for these projects, plus I work full time. If only I could get some funding....
