- niico 14y agoUse the 'hackernews' promo code to get a 29$ off on the Full UI + xCode project pack.
- tehwebguy 14y agoLooks awesome! Just bought the Full UI + xCode and started to play with it. It seems to be missing a "Sharing" folder in "xCode Project/"
- davidkatz 14y agodetailed screenshots needed. can you email me at hi at davidkatz dot me?
- niico 14y agoUpdated! Check out all the screens now here: www.uipsd.co/circles Thanks guys!
- cpursley 14y ago+1 for quick iteration!
- thedangler 14y agoI too would like more screen shots before I make a purchase. Thanks
- Kudos 14y agoHow easy is it to change aspects like the colour in the Xcode project? I'm interested in seeing the source, do you offer a refund if I don't find it satisfactory?
- Bill_Dimm 14y agopromo code to get a 29$ off I find it weird to offer $29 off, rather than $30 off. The whole point of having a price end in 9 like $29 is to take advantage of people thinking "It's like $20" (cheap!) rather than "It's like $30" (expensive). But, since this is a discount you want to make it look as high as possible, not as low as possible.
- marknutter 14y agoKind of like Twitter Bootstrap but you have to pay for it.
- cpursley 14y agoThis is much nicer than bootstrap.
- deleted 14y ago[deleted]
- antoinec 14y agoActually it's not, it's just different and less common (for now).
- bennyg 14y agoMakes me want to create an open source, but free version of nice Xcode UI templates with documentation.
- megablast 14y agoThere is nothing wrong with someone charging for work that took them time and skills to do. And there is nothing wrong with you doing the same and open sourcing it.
- BaconJuice 14y agoHow about an Android version?
- niico 14y agoSure, I wanted to "test the waters" before releasing other versions. But definitely will release an android version!
- raphaelcaixeta 14y agoWhen I buy the Xcode project and you release the new templates, will I have to buy the new templates again? iPad, etc?
- wlindner 14y agoHave you considered creating this as a Xamarin theme component? http://components.xamarin.com/ http://components.xamarin.com/ It could be an easy way to get the theme in front of more buyers.
- kybernetyk 14y ago> beautiful For some values of beautiful that is.
- danielhughes 14y agoLooks great. I'm quite tempted to buy this. But I have a few questions: 1) Is a tab bar included? 2) What other iOS controls have you styled and included in the kit? 3) I see some icons depicted in the screenshots. Are those included? If so, what other icons are available? 4) Any plans to target iPad?
- cpursley 14y ago+1 on all 4 points.
- ryandetzel 14y agoSo now the app store is going to be flooded with apps with all the same design. :-P
- andrewroycarter 14y agoThis is really cool- I'd love to see a lot of different templates to choose from!
- niico 14y agoAs this first test was quite successful, I will be releasing new UI templates soon. Also will be working on different platforms such as Android and iPad.
- andrewroycarter 14y agoThat sounds awesome! Looking forward to it
- binaryorganic 14y ago"No design skills required!" is not something you should read when making design decisions for your app. Period.
- mootothemax 14y ago"No design skills required!" is not something you should read when making design decisions for your app. Period. So what's your alternative? Either investing a load of time in learning, or a load of money in hiring a designer? If you don't have the time/money/talent, this solves a very real problem.
- kcbanner 14y agoUntil more than one person uses this template, and you have many apps that look identical.
- mootothemax 14y agoUntil more than one person uses this template, and you have many apps that look identical. Which, as Bootstrap proves on a daily basis, is a non-problem for the majority of the world.
- yen223 14y agoBootstrap has the added benefit of being free though.
- eloisant 14y agoWell, I don't know about you but I'm a bit bored of the Bootstrap design. There are so many sites using it that now the ones it looks shallow... ...Unless they customize it heavily, but then again it's designer work.
- ceejayoz 14y agoThat's the point, though. Most people aren't bored of Bootstrap, because most people don't care what CSS framework is being used for a website. HN is very much a niche in that regard.
- pretz 14y agoIf you can't get the capitalization of Xcode's name right, can I trust your code?
- danielgrieve 14y agoYou're right, that is definitely an indicator that his code is absolutely horrible. He should have spent more time obsessing over which letter to capitalize.
- CanSpice 14y agoAn important part about design is the attention to detail. Missing a fairly easily-caught detail that will be glaringly obvious to his target audience that he missed it isn't showing the proper attention to detail, and it makes it less likely that his target audience is going to use his product.
- epaga 14y agoLove the look of the site. A few remarks/questions: * Is there a possibility to get PNGs in addition to PSDs? * It's Xcode, not xCode. * What exactly is in the Xcode project already? A storyboard? Any functionality?
- eddieroger 14y agoI don't know the answer to number 1, since I haven't purchased, but expecting that everything is properly layered and labeled, Slicy [0] would be a good thing to have around. It really makes communicating with Photoshop a ton easier for both designers and developers. (Not affiliated with MacRabbit, but I love Slicy) [0] http://macrabbit.com/slicy/ http://macrabbit.com/slicy/
- cpursley 14y agoThis is actually pretty nice. Considering buying xcode version. Would be better with a video overview of working xcode project.
- yoda_sl 14y agoKind of remind me of App Design Vault: http://www.appdesignvault.com/ http://www.appdesignvault.com/ Not associated to that site, simply got a few existing templates a few months back when there was a super promo discount.
- thomaslutz 14y agoA followup on the marketing effect of this post regarding visitors, sales, etc. would be useful.
- alexgaribay 14y agoThis looks great. I love the flat design of the site. And I love the UI design. It looks very clean and minimal to me.
- holgersindbaek 14y agoLooks cool. What exactly does the Xcode project consists of though?
- holgersindbaek 14y agoLooks cool. What exactly does the Xcode project consists of though?
- S_A_P 14y agoThis looks very much like the capital one mobile app...
- Evenjos 14y agoI'd like to see a site that matches designers and artists up with mobile developers.
- sandofsky 14y agoThe hamburger menu is a pretty bad anti-pattern in iOS design. Worse, in the screen shot, there are only five items. They could fit in a conventional iOS tab bar, which is significantly less clunky to navigate.
- BHSPitMonkey 14y agoI'm not quite understanding this. How does getting handed a .psd template help me make the app? Is this simply one possible alternative to the stock UIKit skin that's been packaged up as an idea to reuse? (Like Bootstrap, if Bootstrap was just a Photoshop document instead of usable CSS/HTML?)
- mcabral 14y agoI'm using Chrome on Windows and I'm noticing that when I have my Chrome window on one half of the screen, the responsive design breaks a bit. Basically, if I try to scroll to the right, about 1/4th of the "Ready-to-Code XCode" is cut off. See: http://imgur.com/JnOp2CE http://imgur.com/JnOp2CE
- avijeets 14y agoXcode. Not xCode.
- scosman 14y agoanyone who has purchased: care to comment on code quality?
- scosman 14y agoBuyer beware. I bought the PSD and the font is Gotham Bold. Gotham isn't on iOS and doesn't have an interactive/UI licence so it's not even an option to buy it. The developer's response: use Helvetica.
