About
Skutli is a small Android app (v2.2 and up) that uses data from www.straeto.is to display the next time your bus arrives at your favourite station in Reykjavík.
It is written by Baldur.
Disclamer
Skutli is still in early stages and might contain bugs. If you miss your bus (or your hamster dies, or you fail your tests etc.) don't blame me. You've been warned.
Status
Skutli is currently in version 0.2.0. The main screen displays a list of all the routes and each route has a screen where the next two arrival times for the main stations are displayed.

- Previous versions crashed when trying to display the schedule for routes that did not run that day.
- Displaying 0min instead of next arrival time when the bus is at the station.
- Arrival times update dynamically (no need to reopen the route).
- The schedule list now displays next two arrival times.

Changelog
- Version 0.1.0 used 12 hour clock to determine when the next bus arrives, so it only worked from 12AM to 12PM.

Source
The source code is available at GitHub.
Beware that although the app itself is tiny the data it uses is around 450kb and it is stored on the internal memory of your phone (that might change in the future). When you open the app for the first time the main screen consists of only one button that starts downloading all the data, which is stored on my server at baldur.biz/bus.
Acknowledgement
My pal Guðmundur Bjarni is partly responsible for the app; he sparked my interest with his super cool webscraper for straeto.is, written in glorious CoffeeScript. He's such a geek!
