My next app: MailShot

When I was working on Stripboard I added an email manager feature for the “pro” version which allowed you to email a group of people with the updated schedule. It occurred to me that I should spin this feature off into its own app as there is currently no way to email a large group at once built-in to the iPhone.

When I looked at what was already out there on the App Store it occurred to me that there was a better way to do this than that employed by existing apps, which make people compose their emails within them.

My solution allows you to mail to an entire group of people as though it were a single person, from inside any app that uses the built-in mail system, and with any types of attachment which that app supports.

A few days later and the functionality all works, just need to work on prettying it up now. Here are some choices for icon designs.
