Cross-application syncing

Kris -

Way back in the old thread, you mentioned trying to get together with the Moon+ developer to see if you could sync between each other (I would assume mostly just book position).

Did that ever go anywhere? I was thinking it would be cool to root my Nook Simple Touch with Moon+ and then be able to sync between it and Marvin.

Nope, it didn't. However, M uses Dropbox to sync and a sync record is a plain XML file (it's very simple so there isn't much to document). Any other application can access that record and use it too. This is one of the reasons why I chose this approach to sync data (Dropbox+XML).
