Home Screen of Electricity Bill Cal

I am happy to say that my very first app, Electricity Bill Cal [1] for Firefox OS has been accepted by the Firefox Marketplace [2].

Electricity Bill Cal is an app to calculate the bill for the electricity consumption of domestic and religious consumers in Sri Lanka. The calculations are done based "Electricity Tariff Revision - May 09, 2013" which is the latest approved tariff structure in Sri Lanka for the moment.

Electricity Bill Cal is a hosted app (Firefox OS apps can be either hosted or packaged). The app is hosted in github pages [3] which is a good option to host web apps in this small scale. This is basically a web app and the manifest file makes it eligible to be submitted as an Firefox OS app in the Firefox Marketplace. At the submission to the Firefox Marketplace it stated that it will take approximately 18 working days to get the app approved but it took only about 8 days. At the moment app reviewing is done by a small group of volunteers [4] that it takes a number of days to get an app reviewed. If you are interested you may become a Firefox Marketplace app reviewer [5] and thus contribute to Mozilla and the community.

If you are interested in developing apps for Firefox OS which is not that hard, Firefox OS in Mozilla Developer Network [6] is a good place to start with.
