Im thinking to make a FREE iphone app for the Fellowship of Indie iPhoneDevs.. inside will just open up the main page of the Fellowship where users can browse.. what you think.. ?
But i have no experience to make a webapp though.. good to learn too.
Writing code is not only about writing instructions to a machine / computer, but also about writing something that could be read, understood, and maintained by others. That's why, I like Cocoa.

If you wanted to go REALLY basic, you could build the app in Dashcode, but even then I wouldn't do it. Maybe the iWebKit might be the way to go. I'm not fussy whether we have a mobile site or not, but we do need hits, or maybe our own domain.
I guess this is something that Emir needs to define, before this mission becomes a lost cause.
Khalid Shaikh is a clear example of spam apps producer. It's clear because he was banned from the App Store.
But, other than him, I'll give you some examples:
- Graaple
- megakontrol
- Brighthouse Labs
My personal criteria is:
If they don't make an effort to deliver similar materials only with different title or content, through one app (e.g. by using In-App purchase), then that would be spam apps producer.

Those are some good examples, another one that pisses me off is Alain Fernandes. He has 24 pages of apps, with 12 on each page. 10+ variations of one game, at $1.19 (or USD0.99c) each.
Really, a spam developer is:
* Someone who bombards the "Recent Apps" section of the App Store each day
* Releases 10+ apps, all completely identical except for one feature, and prices them all at the same price
* Cares more about getting noticed each day than delivering quality apps
And that's when the Fellowship steps in
Edit: I never realised how many spam apps Brighthouse Labs made, it's unreal!
Yet another edit: Found another spammer: MIRAISHONEN Inc. Some of these people should be reported

TheAppByte, the definition of spam is: a canned meat made largely from pork
LOL! just kidding.
Code:
Spam apps are those very similar apps rapidly and repeatedly created and submitted by a single developer.
And the others here more or less defined it nicely for me too.

Same here, the logo & link are now on our Mobile Apps page. Just let me know how else we can help.
P.S. By the way, Emir, could you change our logo to the one attached to this post. The one on the Fellowship grid comes from our site, so it's quite low-res. Thanks!

Hi I would like to participate. I have two similar paid for apps Bash a Banker and a similar game but aimed at bosses called Stress Relief as Apple would not let me call it Bash Your Boss.
At present these are just fun apps but a real game version is coming soon.
Ahem. Not one person, but all those joined this fellowship share the same view. I take it you have "app spamming" in your future plan of development?
Its ok, you are not a minority.
filjedi, i already updated the icon. but i had to resize it to 100x100 for faster loading of the whole page.
(and also so that more websites can be added later).
Ivan and miloshTheKid your app looks good (non spamming).. i'll put it up soon. Im rushing to do some app updates and submit ~3 new apps of my own now..

Sorry about that, I should have sent the icon with the right size. Thanks for the help & good luck with those submissions!
