KillerDeals released in AppStore
March 15, 2009 by admin · Leave a Comment
Recently, we were involved in the deisgn and implementation of a cool new app for Grio, a small company in San Francisco. The application was under review for a pretty long stretch but now it’s available for sale. It’s a pretty simple concept. It aggregates the data from several (currently 4) of the BackCountry.com ODAT (one deal at a time) sites and displays them in a simple easy to navigate UI.
KillerDeals gives you access to 4 of the hottest sources for outdoor gear on the web in the one convenient application. Now you can check the latest deals anytime, anywhere.
KillerDeals features products from:
- SteepandCheap ®
- TramDock ®
- WhiskeyMilitia ®
- ChainLove ®
KillerDeals displays all the relevant information for each gear deal including photos, detailed descriptions, prices, and even customer reviews. You can always grab a fresh copy here
How to Add a Feed Manually

DaisyFeed allows you to add new feeds manually. To create a new feed, press the “Categories” button on the bottom of home page. From there, you should see a page like so:
Tap the category to which you would like to add a feed. Once selected tap the [EDIT] button in the upper right hand corner. For example, here’s what the AutoDiscovery channel looks like after you tap the [EDIT] button:
From here, clicking on the green plus symbol will let you add an entirely new feed. Enter a name and description for your feed. Then enter the full URL to the feed (you might have to view source on the homepage of the feed to figure this out). For example, here’s what a feed to Silent PC Review would look like:
Also, note that on the edit page, you can easily add this feed to your favorites list by sliding the “OFF” toggle switch to “ON”. That feed will be added to your favorites page! You can also easily change the category by hitting the blue arrow!

DaisyFeed allows you to easily add new categories, and assign feeds to them. To create a new category, press the “Categories” button on the bottom of home page. From there, you should see a page like so:
“News” is a category that exists by default, and “AutoDiscovery” is a category that is added when you discover new feeds through the AutoDiscovery feature. To create a new category, click the “Edit” button in the upper right corner of the screen. The page should now look like so:
From here, clicking on the green plus symbol will let you add an entirely new category. The red minus symbol will let you delete a whole category (this will also delete all feeds inside!). Clicking on a feed itself will allow you to edit an existing feed. Click on the green plus symbol and add a new category. I added a “Computer Hardware” category:
Once you’ve added all of the information, click the “Save” button in the upper right corner.
Now let’s say I want to move my Silent PC Review feed (which is in my AutoDiscover category) to this new Computer Hardware category. Click on the AutoDiscover category and select the edit button in the upper right corner:
Click on the Silent PC Review feed, which will take you to the edit page for that feed. From there, you can easily change the category with the wheel feature at the bottom of the edit page:
Also, note that on the edit page, you can easily add this feed to your favorites list by sliding the “OFF” toggle switch to “ON”. That feed will be added to your favorites page!
