For those interested, here's our tentative roadmap:
1 - Develop all major features
2 - Fine tune major features; add in additional features
3 - Beta Test
4 - Clean up UI and look-and-feel
5 - Continue Testing
6 - Release
We're still a ways off, but I want to release by year's end. We're working closely with Foursquare themselves, so I'm not sure exactly what their plan for release is, but if they've got a schedule, we'll be adhering to that.
I've made some great strides in the last week and expect it to move faster from here.
You are all welcome to try out the code that's on Github, but please be forewarned: the application is a work in progress and no guarantees can be made in terms of its functionality or safety. The application is harmless (only writes cookies), however, I've done very little error-catching and I've done zero checks for memory leaks. As a result, if the application does slow down your device, let me know, but also, don't get flustered.
And please let me know of any problems you have using it.
cebellevie: I'm aware of some of the issues you're describing. the reason for the "freezing up" is actually that two dialogs are being displayed and the event for the click of the buttons are attached to the first created instance, meaning that the second one that is on top has no actions tied to it so the buttons are useless. This is a known bug I have to work out.
Glad to hear that the freeze up was something you were aware of :-)
Again, even at alpha stage, this is looking good and really excited using it. I even managed to briefly top Seattle's leaderboard yesterday thanks to the ease of checking in.
