Drift: an iPad app for GitHub Gists

Greg Borenstein and Devin Chalmers have launched Drift, an always-versioned text editor for the iPad that utilizes GitHub Gists, now available on the App Store. Drift demonstrates how to build a native app using a third-party API, despite Greg and Devin having no official ties to GitHub. Their app faced multiple rejections from Apple due to rule 11.13, which prohibits apps from directing users to external sites for purchases or subscriptions, even if the app remains functional without a paid account. Devin’s detailed narrative of their journey is recommended for developers interested in creating API-based applications for the Apple App Store.
