Originally this blog was intended solely for tech and tutorial, as it was titled previously, but now the blog content will expand. As life continues I will include travel, observations, career as an engineer, life undertakings (e.g. wedding, house, car), design and development projects and of course, as is a staple - a whole lot of tech. I intend post more consistently, so let's see how this goes as I take this blog in a new direction.

F8 Developer Conference 2014 - 10Up to build with Facebook?
The 10Up App page is where users can get the latest news about 10Up but the app does not directly post to the page. This conference has me aiming to focus on Facebook integration in the next update! What do you think?
Now that I'm starting to get more traction with the app I want to make sure it gives users all the social features they want. After update 1.7 we integrated Google Play Services allowing users to share with their Google+ Circles for Leaderboards and Achievements. Many users are jumping on board and posting their scores I just want to extend that experience.
Now back to the Facebook F8 Developer conference, they have announced anonymous login to users to lower the trust barrier that users have with allowing apps to have access to their Facebook due to spam and not wanting to share this type of information with friends. I'm glad to see Mark Zuckerberg and the team has addressed this. Great Move!
Hopefully I'll have 10Up v1.8 out to you soon and continue to build the SarioDev brand.

In 5: New Logo and functionality
Today the Logo is ready to go into the app and onto the Facebook page.
It's been changed and hopefully marks the time for the app to be put up to the test and submitted to the Play Store.
The Logo is the first point of contact with the user and is also the first clue to whether your App is good or not.
I don't believe that the Logo has the power to get users to click it more so than its ability to NOT deter potential interest to click the app.
In any case when designing a new app, or any product for that matter, it is worth your time considering the logo and the branding of your app. It's the first piece of marketing.
In 5 - ready for prime time.
