not sure how you're pulling data and I don't have the SDK, but it was supposed to have the Prototype JavaScript framework in it. Have you tried using an Ajax.PeriodicalUpdater? like here:
Prototype JavaScript framework: Introduction to Ajax

really great looking app, by the way

It does have prototype. I'm currently using its Ajax.Request function to grab data from my server. I'm planning on using Mojo's timer stuff to update the data with more control. As prototype's Ajax.PeriodicalUpdater just fills a container with the response, and you have no control to do something else with it.

that's cool, I hope I get approved soon -- would like to see the docs on what they did put in mojo.

oil · 07/01/2009, 07:39 PM

I have no docs either. One of the sample apps shows how mojo's timer works.

Looks awesome. I am not a developer but I am an Xbox player. Can't wait for new apps like this to be available. Keep up the good work.

I've updated my first post with hot new screenshots. And I added the ability to view it sideways. I don't know why more apps don't support rotation, it's really only 2 lines of code, leaving it out of seems stupid.

Once I'm given access to create threads in the Homebrew Apps section I'll post the .ipk for installation.

Awesome! Do you need a certain amount of posts to create a topic in the Homebrew Apps section? Or is it just waiting a specified time?

I tried creating a new topic today & said I don't have permissions to create a new topic in the Homebrew Apps section

And I pretty much finished the 1.0 version of my app too...

Thanks for posting that link. I guess I somehow missed that topic

It's a bit of a secret for now. I do have an ipk file but, it's not ready to be posted yet. Still a few bugs that I need to exterminate in order to make it presentable. Once I can post a new topic in the homebrew apps section, it'll be a few days after that. Figure sometime next week at the latest

Phantasmn · 07/04/2009, 05:03 AM

This looks like a well polished, very useful app. I'll be rooting my pre for this next week when I have time off from work. Hopefully Microsoft will allow for direct messaging to XBL in the near future.

kleany · 07/04/2009, 07:39 AM

Synergy would be awesome!!!!!!!!!

JcLusso · 07/04/2009, 11:48 AM

BTW not to be picky but its Xbox LIVE not XboxLive. Also I think you should call it Xbox LIVE cause it seems more general so that if you later add more functionality that goes outside of just Friends your app name will still mean what the app does.

Also I dont know if you have an icon yet but this would probably be a good image to shrink down and make an icon out of. If you want I can make you an icon in a couple of days.. im in my second house and the PC here is garbage and doesn't have Photoshop so that's why I said "a few days".

VERY nice app. Very polished, good job, It actually looks like it could be an official MS app

TreoRock · 07/04/2009, 01:17 PM

That looks really cool, can you work on one for the Playstation3?
I've seen this site does it for the trophies:
PS3 Trophy Card Generator
but it would be nice if it can be done to check on what your buddies are playing right now. The trophies and status come from this site:
PlayStation.com

and you log in with your Email and Password. Let me know if you would like me to test something in case you don't have a PS3.

QuietStorm21A · 07/04/2009, 01:28 PM

Yes this is one of the apps i have been waiting for to come to the pre. Keep up the good work it looks great!

nic426 · 07/04/2009, 03:30 PM

Yea as an xbox fan my self i would love to use this app..
