After having issues for month with the integration of the our recurring billing provider and merchant account we now finally have a working payment system. This was the only piece of the puzzle that was missing for us to go live.
Since today StorageRoom is online and available to the world. Agencies, freelancers and mobile application owners can now manage their content in a flexible and easy-to-use interface and query our cloud-based CMS from their mobile applications.
I tried hard but over time I couldn’t resist… there are just too many exciting opportunities for new startups! What is my new startup all about?
In all the mobile application projects I often encountered the same problem: it was not easy and quick enough to include dynamically-loaded content into an app. Content like a tip of the day, store locations of a retail chain or cocktail recipes for a cocktail app.
This was always way too much effort. I either had to create a small web application myself to manage and serve the content in JSON or XML or configure a large open source CMS to do this (which is a pain). And I had to host and maintain those systems, which cost time and money.
The solution I created is the StorageRoom CMS. It is cheap, flexible and allows developers to configure many different data sets. Editors can manage the content for these data sets and developers can then easily load that content into their mobile apps with JSON.
Currently the first tests are running with beta users. If you are interested in joining the other testers shoot me an email.

Long time no hear… I have been so busy developing our iPhone application for Tagcrumbs that I had absolutely no time to blog.
But it was worth all the hard work, as our Tagcrumbs iPhone application is now available for download from the App Store at http://www.tagcrumbs.com/go/iphone.
