RBLChecker-iOS

I challenged myself to write and ship and iOS app in one evening, heres what I came up with in 6 hours.

The app consumes the API that I was dicking about with a couple of weeks ago, which is a simple express app that performs DNSBL lookups and is running on heroku.

You can view the API at This link. The source for it is available On my github profile

I owe a lot of thanks to the following projects for making it as painless as possible:

• CocoaPods
• AFNetworking
• FontAwesomeKit
• Google Analytics
• ODRefreshControl
• PrettyKit
• SVWebViewController
• TSMessages

Whats next with this?

Heres a very scrappy braindump that I intend to implement:

• Add bookmarking of server addresses using CoreData
• Store historical results in Coredata
• Plot health history graphs based on aforementioned data
• Expand webservice and add a scheduled check of hosts, with push notifications to the app
• Replace all of the listing API calls with native DNS lookups on the device - This is really poorly documented and I didn't have time to mess with it when I built this but basically the underlying OS networking C code needs to be used to achieve this.

Build Status

I added some basic unit tests post release, I need to write some proper ones later on, but for now:
