Manage Recipes on the Palm Pre

Yesterday I got some screen shots of One tsp. running on a Palm Pre. The recipe manager is available for mobile phones at onetsp.mobi and it turns out that the Pre renders the web app just fine. I’m serving the same interface to Pre users that I serve to iPhones. Both are based on the webkit browser so it makes sense that they would be compatible.

For users new to One tsp., the app runs in the web browser and registering for an account is free. This is better than recipe software that you would install on your phone because you can also access and manage your recipes from your desktop computer or anywhere else you have access to a web browser.

Thanks for the screen shots, Anthony!

Fixing Up onetsp.mobi for Mobile Users

I’ve been spending some time over the last few nights trying to make sure that Google, Yahoo!, and MSN index the web version of One tsp. and not the mobile version. Seems that the .mobi version of the site shows up more frequently in Google search results, rather than the “desktop” version. Not so good.

I’m also getting a better test suite together of mobile phone emulators to make sure that users with iPhones, BlackBerries, Opera Mini, or any other mobile browser are all seeing relatively the same thing. I don’t expect it to be perfect — I’d just like it to work.

I wanted to also mention that the dev.mobi site (and other sites affiliated, see their header links) has a ton of great information about building mobilized web sites.

Here’s an easy tip for storing recipes in gmail, if that’s your preference. Any way to store recipes online seems like a good option to me.

Another option is to store your recipes using del.icio.us, a great tip from simplemom.net.
