New Zhephree Accounts bringing multi-device syncing for new Zhephree Apps 20

by Tim Stiffler-Dean Thu, 01 Dec 2011 7:25 pm EST

What you are seeing above is not a figment of your imagination. It is, in fact, a new app made by Zhephree that is coming to TouchPads everywhere very soon. As was the case with incredible!, neato! and Foursquare updates of years past, we're kind of excited to see another project come from this signature webOS app developer.

Wooden Rows (the name of the new app), will give TouchPad owners the ability to keep track of all of their books, CDs, video games and movies, and even "lend" those prized possesions out to friends or family (as long as they are a contact already synced to your device). You can also share the items individually across Google+, Twitter or Facebook with a link to what Zhephree describes as "much like that of Instagram". The app looks neat and will be very useful for those of you who actually still own CD's and the like, but what really gets us excited is the concurrent unveiling of another new Zhephree project; dubbed, Zhephree Accounts.

Zhephree Accounts are a new creation that will surely enhance the experience with his apps to become better than they already are. In a similar fashion as Villo.net, Zhephree Accounts will allow users of neato!, incredible!, Foursquare, Wooden Rows and whatever other apps he is cooking up to sync across devices and platforms via a single user login. You will be able to save your spot in Incredible! for the TouchPad and your smartphone or sync your Wooden Rows library with your desktop computer and mobile device for browsing while on the go. App data will all be stored in the cloud via Zhephree.com, and everyone will have access to their own data (and to revoking app-access to that data - privacy concerns be gone) via a user-portal. 

We like cloud services just as much as any of you (we've talked about Villo extensively in the past), and it's nice to see a webOS developer continue their work with the platform, even after all of the other shenanigans that HP is putting us through right now. Wooden Rows is said to be 95% done right now, so we should expect it soon. Be on the lookout for it landing in your App Catalogs as soon as Zhephree is finished, and let's hope those Zhephree Accounts come soon after.

cool! send me a code for the app(free)

Me too... Lol

Cool! I have been using the GuruLib web site for this, but a native Touchpad app would be much better. (And I am willing to buy it too if it works well.)

single handedly making apps better, thanks, would love a code too

Sad... everyone wants something for free. The dude put hard work in on this, doesn't he deserve to get paid?

That is why Google will rule the world. Give away stuff for free and everyone jumps on it... no matter what the downsides may be.

Great way to attract developers too.

The codes are given out by HP and paid for by HP. The developer gets paid the full price for his/her app and a limited number of the rest of us get it for free. No one is loosing money except HP.

This is only the case when HP is doing the promo. A lot of the coupon codes given away on this site (and basically all others except the Palm blog & Palm emails) are done by the developer. They do not get paid for those downloads.

Not the name I would've picked.

So essentially it's Delicious Library (http://www.delicious-monster.com/) for the Touchpad?

But with more support than Delicious Library :)

Would love a code for this app. Sounds wonderful!

Could I also have code for the new Zhephree app?

Please let me know when it will be available

I still have a balance on my $50 App credit, so I will pay for this...IF they get it posted by 12/31/11. :p But depending on price and reviews, sounds like something I might be happy to buy as well.

Well I am definitely looking forward to purchasing this. I am most interested in this lending feature as I have quite a large video game collection and have a tough time keep track of who I lent what to (lost a few things simply because I couldn't keep track of them). Thanks for your hard work! And thank you for continuing to support webOS even in its (second?) darkest hour!

LOL.

Anytime someone claims that developers should want to flock to WebOS to "take advantage" of the six to (possibly) seven figures of new TouchPad owners, I'll point them to the myriad of "Got a promo code?" or "I'll just use my HP giveaway voucher" comments in this article.

Can you crawl back under that rock from which you emerged?

kthxbai

Truth hurts, eh?

Well everyone wants something for free, I can understand that. Either way, the developers are actually getting paid whether it's a promo code or app credit.

They're getting paid...by HP!

Apparently the winning WebOS strategy - as endorsed by the smart people here - is for HP to pay the developers to make apps, pay them again to offer them free via codes, virtually pay consumers to take devices by selling them at a loss, and paying carriers to take them.

Obviously, this strategy = BIG $$$!!!

Wonder why Meg Whitman hasn't announced they're going to go through with it already....
