What's with the invites?
Would it not be easier to make it freely available with the usual T&Cs rather than replying to a whole pile of PMs etc...?

clancyoo7 · 11-09-2011 8:15pm

Any more room on the bandwagon. would love an invite:)

SQ2 · 11-09-2011 9:45pm

scootch over for another thanks!

Schorpio · 11-09-2011 9:50pm

Alpha 2 is great. Really, really useful. Kudos!

Also, judging by the amount of people looking for invites - this is going to be popular! Make sure you have good hosting

bigron2109 · 11-09-2011 10:09pm

This is a great idea I reckon if ye could turn it into an app ye could sell quite a few of them. Well done:)

jamesd · 12-09-2011 9:41am

Me too please, Make an App as it would sell for 99c easily.

Tech Guy Sligo · 12-09-2011 9:54am

Can I get one too please. Thanks

Basq · 12-09-2011 9:56am

Am gonna close this til witnessmenow either re-opens invites or publishes the link directly.

witnessmenow · 18-09-2011 1:43pm

Hi Guys,

Site is up now for all who didnt get invites.

checkargos.com

Sorry that I couldn't give out more invites but I was hosting it on a friend of mines serverspace.

It should be still considered beta and I would love to hear feedback. As I've said im not much of a web developer so if there is something you think could be improved or doesnt look right on a certain browser etc please let me know.

Changes since last release:
Added a product picture
Added price
Pretty big changes on style of the page
And the major one, moved to checkargos.com

CH3OH · 18-09-2011 1:49pm

Congrats.

Just going through xmas shopping list for santa (yes, scarily early) and its so much easier and quicker with your site, massive thanks for that.

LaVail · 18-09-2011 10:35pm

Good job man!

nava · 18-09-2011 10:44pm

Great website, very useful. if you can a search engine plugin for Firefox will be nice.

Jackobyte · 18-09-2011 11:49pm

There is a sizable delay on the 3 Cork stores. I don't know whether that is a coding problem or whether it is on Argos' end, but I said I'd inform you on it. Delay is about 15 seconds after the last of the other stores.

Not seeing that problem here, must have been a problem on Argos' end.

Cheers witnessmenow great service and shows what a mockery some of Argos' special offers are with virtually no stock anywhere.

Basq · 19-09-2011 10:34am

Hope witnessmenow doesn't mind me interruping his thread but no point in starting a new one for it. Spent a few hours playing around with some mobile development last night and made this!

Argos Stock Checker

It's in early stages but should work on all mobile devices (although can't test all scenarios). I've it tested on an iPhone 3GS and iPad 1st Gen and it works fine.

It works best after it's loaded that you 'Add it to Home Screen' as it can then be loaded full-screen from the iPhone menu from then on.

Gonna continue development on it so keep checking it every so often - have a couple of big plans for it!

Maybe if witnessmenow is interested - it's something we can implement into his site. Don't mind anyways!

copacetic · 19-09-2011 10:38am

Link not working basq..

Apologies - fixed!

copacetic · 19-09-2011 10:43am

Looks good, nice work.

Mr E · 19-09-2011 10:45am

Good job, Brian... works great!

If I was to make one suggestion, I'd display the name of the product somewhere on the search results screen (just for sanity check).

Basq · 19-09-2011 10:47am

Yeah, that was the next thing that was planned alright.

The lack of space on mobile devices is always an annoyance with me but I'll jam in the product name and image somewhere maybe.

Jessica Fletcher · 19-09-2011 12:00pm

Excellent stuff, thanks. I will make good use of this!

dodzy · 19-09-2011 12:38pm

Really sharp on the I-device Basq, well done ( to you both ! )

bored_newbie · 19-09-2011 2:23pm

Good work lads. I'll check the mobile one out on the iPod touch later.

Looks great - will it work with a TouchPad?

Don't have one, so can't check! *

I presume it should though.

* it's a sore point!

;)sorry about the TP reminder - I once suffered from the pain of not having a fire sale TP.

Will try it out later & revert

syboit · 19-09-2011 2:46pm

thanks for the apps. will save loads of time. Could you also check the "castlebar" store, the app is saying 1 available for a few items, but argos themsevles are saying out of stock!

Can you PM me the catalogue number when you've a chance?

EDIT: Or just put the catalogue number here actually. No reason to PM it.

txema · 19-09-2011 2:57pm

Works brilliantly on Android too.
Thanks!
