HallenProjektStatus - An OSX status bar application for hallenprojekt.de

I have been writing Ruby applications exclusively for awhile now, so I thought it is time to try out something new. As a result, I have developed an OSX Cocoa application for hallenprojekt.de, a website that aggregates different co working spaces. It is an application that lives in the status bar and allows easy checking into the available co working spaces.

It was fun and sometimes painful to learn how to achieve things with Objective-C and Cocoa in particular. And of course, learn how to automate packaging and deployment of new releases including automatic updates. Ironically, I ended up doing most of those tasks with Ruby. I will write a few blog posts covering my endeavors.

The source is available on github and the application itself can be downloaded here.
