I’m tentatively pushing Rhombus out into the world today. It’s been a fairly simple evening and weekend project of mine for a while now. Rhombus’ objective is simple: archive and deliver price changes on the Steam digital content network. To make the data as accessible as possible, users also have access to an RSS feed and a Twitter account. Currently, Rhombus comes in two flavours: tracking both the US and UK versions of the Steam store.

The reason for Rhombus’ existence is simple: I love videogames and great deals. Rhombus combines the two.

I’ve just released the first public beta of Showtime, a fun little iPhone app that lets you know when new episodes of your favourite TV shows air. It’s powered by the excellent jQTouch.

The application itself is fairly simple. You add your favourite shows to your ‘watchlist’ and when new episodes become available they’re shown with a star beside their name:

Tapping any episode in your watchlist will give you extra details on the latest episode. Once you’ve seen it, just hit ‘I’ve seen this episode’ and the star indicator will disappear.

If you do try it out, please feel free to leave me feature requests and bug reports here. Thanks!
