SifterClient by Stephen Beitzel

You may not have known that I abandoned SifterReader over a year. Recently, however, Stephen Beitzel as shown interest in reviving this project, and has developed a new Android app for the Sifter API called SifterClient that is based on my old app. It's available at the Google Play Store, and he is hosting it at Github. Download it now to keep track of your Sifter issues from your Android device.

TurtleSift for 64-bit Platforms

TurtleSift can now run on 64-bit platforms. Look for the `x64` tag in either the bitbucket downloads or the Github tags. Of course the 32-bit version is also available. Also look at how to cheat VS2010 C# Express to target any platform.

TurtleSift

TurtleSift is a Sifter issue tracker plugin for both TortoiseSVN and TortoiseGit that uses the IBugtraqProvider2 interface and .NET sifterapi by cdturner. Fork it on Github or on bitbucket. It's okay but it could use some love. See the issues on bitbucket for a start. I look forward to your pull requests.

Sifter-Java

SifterReader actually started as a Java wrapper for the SifterAPI. Fork it on Github. This was my first Java foray, and I wanted to practice before making a full-on Android app. One of the things I quickly realized is that JSON is an ideal container for data objects. <There were several SO Q-A's on this topic that I'll add refs for later.> Sure you could make a custom object, like I did here originally for projects, and what you'll find in the C#, Ruby and Python (which I contributed to) wrappers. And Java also has some nice convenient map containers like HashMap. But all of those methods add an extra step, although it's true that some of the other JSON parsers like google-gson and json-simple can cast a JSON object directly to a HashMap. In the end I left the Sifter objects as JSONObjects, because I found org.json to have all of the functionality I needed. And it made passing them in intent bundles from activity to activity or writing them to files super easy since I just cast them back to string.

Fork Me on Github

SifterReader is also on Github. Fork it and make it even better. https://github.com/mikofski/SifterReader
