After an exciting launch on HN 6 weeks ago (http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=5127400) garnering 18.5K visits on launch day and 30K visits to date, I'm excited to present the iPhone version of Stack-Ed.

With this update I've taken advantage of the amazing, consistent StackExchange API and included access to all the sites: Stack Overflow, Server Fault, Super User, Game Development, Mathematica, User Experience, Programmers, Ask Ubuntu, the list goes on.. I have also updated http://www.stack-ed.com to reflect this change. The iPhone version renders LaTeX appropriately, so for those interested in the Mathematica or Computer Science sites, Stack-Ed is finally usable. (have yet to bring this to the web version)

FWIW it took 6 days before undergoing review, inline with http://reviewtimes.shinydevelopment.com/. Also Apple just approved it a few hours ago, which is nice to know that apps are approved over the weekend!

Hope you like it!

This looks slick and is a good development of the original idea! I would like to see another angle/play. Maybe there could be crowd-sourced curricula with SO answers as the content? Just looking for a way to make it less random. Also, it's a shame your HN post hasn't gotten more attention for your efforts--i was there a couple weeks ago. Keep it up!

Thanks for the kind words and support. I agree it feels a bit random at the moment, and I've been mulling over what would work. Crowd-sourcing is an interesting idea, will definitely think about this some.

Very slick. Wish there was more room for the question titles while browsing, but love the clean interface and left/right swiping navigation. I'll definitely be popping open this app when out and about to absorb some insights from the top gurus in the RoR community. Cheers.

Very impressive what you built in such a small timeframe. Keep it up!

Very impressive UI.
