I recently opened a new website ThatsMyDesiLife.com which parodies the “funny” or “different” (depending on your perspective) elements of desi culture via user submitted short stories. This is basically a spin off of FML, similar to what others have done by using the fmyscript software.

However, after purchasing that above script I added an API on top and have now (in conjuction with another developer) created an iPhone application for the website. I’m still in the process of learning the Cocoa framework and Objective C but its an interesting change from years of PHP. It’s nice to have a stateful process that can keep track of asynchronous requests and events unlike HTTP. And, the development tools (xcode and interface builder) are very nice to use. It was a bit of pain getting use to using a Mac though.

Anyway, take a look at screenshots from the app:
