We just got a note about Jiggy, an IDE that lets you build and run Javascript apps right on your jailbroken iPhone. I installed it on my 1.1.2 iPhone and it seems to be working except I can’t save any files. If you’d like to add it to your phone, go into Installer.app — presuming you’ve already jailbroken your iFone — and add www.jiggyapp.com/i as a source. Then go into Development and download Jiggy.
One cool aspect is that it runs entirely on the phone and has a web interface for programming apps. This makes it platform independent and is actually true to Steve Jobs’ original vision of an entirely web-based application stack. I just don’t think he had this in mind, though.
I tried to build an app but it wasn’t saving my meta-data, which makes baby me cry. However, the ‘Hello World’ app seems sane enough so I’ll give it a go later tonight.
What browser did you try?
Firefox
We’re looking into it. Feel free to e-mail me with details.
Try running it with FireBug enabled – it seems to be related to that.

so essentially….couldnt we take a javascrript game found on the web (like wordspell) and copy the javascript into jiggy….then presto – a native wordspell app????
if thats the case…this will be awesome
I tried something similar with another javascript code and no it doesnt work. Basically all this is doing is giving you a realtime wrapper for your app. You still need to understand objectiveC, but now you also need to know javascript
Jaw droppingly cool. You have out Appled Apple.
I tried the developing with it and it took about 5 mins to get the first application up and running, a modified version of their hello world that reacts to desktop tap. Nice job done, hopefully Apple will make development of the iPod Touch/iPhone this easy. BTW it worked flawlsessly on the ipod touch.
Which Firmware did you use
what website do you go to sign up, PLEASE REPLY
