On: Alt-C: A neat little app to copy text between your device and your PC

[krisgenre]

This is a lesson to me - if don't do your finishing touch properly, no one will notice.

I had submitted my similar open source app a long time back - http://oneclipboard.crushingboredom.com/. Sorry for the shameless plug :)

This is kinda funny - we should all hang out together or something :)

Here's my attempt: http://www.clipbrd.com/

Was looking for something similar, couldn't find a thing that worked well, so I had to build it myself. Too bad I don't have enough time to polish it, but it still works well for me.

Me too! my need was something that works over the internet. Here's one that's LAN only - http://bdwm.be/cs/.

One thing I noticed is that none of us attempted an iOS version :)

Absence of background apps was a dealbreaker on earlier iOS versions, but I think all the necessary APIs are in place now.

At this point I'm simply not motivated enough to do it. Especially considering Apple's attitude towards developers.

Thanks, I was looking for something like this. Alt-C only supports android and windows, and will never support my desktop systems(GNU/Linux and OpenBSD). Thanks :)

EDIT: If it's open source, though, where is the code?

[krisgenre → microcolonel]

Here - https://github.com/krishnaraj/oneclipboard, its in Java though :)

Should work out of the box on OpenBSD's X11 as well, thanks to it being in Java. Though I'm not a fan of the language itself.
