I was contacted by that poster, since I've been building the mobile site, about developing a separate application based on the Financier source code. I didn't really response (too busy, forgot) and then that post disappeared after a short while. He indicated that he was planning to build a closed source application based on the Financier code instead of contributing the Financier project. The code is completely open source so he's free to do so, but not completely necessary since we have a working tool.
Edit: For what it's worth, I'm planning to turn my attention to the main app once I have the mobile app to a point that I consider complete enough.
