@Austinist + @SXSWist: Now There's An App For That

Austinist App

SXSWist

This launch version includes a special section devoted to all things SXSW, much like our SXSWist Microsite. To view it, click the "About" menu item, then the "Switch" button on the top right. Here, you're able to access a mobile version of our Interactive Party Guide, our various slideshows, and all of our festival coverage, plus send us any photos or tips that you'd like to share.

BUGS

No doubt there are a few, but we'll get these worked out as long as you keep letting us know about 'em. We've spotted some already, such as the errant "special feature" where the bottom menu disappears after you've switched back and forth between the Standard and SXSW views a few times. For now, please just pretend it's an easter egg.

FUTURE UPDATES

Besides fixing bugs and making minor tweaks, we're planning to add some features such as our Weekly IST List (currently on hiatus due to the festival), and photo albums that include more of our slideshows. If there's something else that you'd love to see, let us know.

THANK YOUS

A special thanks goes out to Gothamist chief tech guru and future Austinite Neil Epstein, who labored for days without sleep or the aide of pharmaceuticals to make this app come to life! Our interactive guide was also made possible by our very own Adi Anand, a gaggle of staffers, and two enterprising strangers from India whom we enlisted via the Mechanical Turk.
