Ya setting shouldRasterize = YES would be bassackwards for animating CAShapeLayer. I actually found animating the path attribute incredibly easy and performant with CAKeyframeAnimations. Another note with -drawRect and animations, I messed

This man speaks the truth. Though I think the advice of "stick to the highest level API for your needs" holds true here as well. (Hi oc, its Ryan!)

This is a wonderful article. I've been swapping different methods for performance here and there, but not really settled on a concrete strategy. It looks like drawing definitely has its edge with animations, but for static content CALayers

The drag/drop part is just supposed to change the rhyme suggestions. So if you you're doing AABB and on line #4, it finds the last word in line #3 and rhymes with that. However if you changed to ABAB line #4 suggestions will now look at lin

The idea is definitely to be more of a "game" than your go-to poetry text editor. I spent some time focusing on the design to make it seem more light. I agree, its not for writing. And as far as trying goes, its free. I've done some Android

Hey everyone, creator here. This app has been a huge learning opportunity as far as app design and marketing goes. The app is fairly straightforward, but I spent far more time writing releases and emails, as well as examining and critiquing

This landing page and documentation is just beautiful. Simple hashtag nav, soft colors, great header, and good examples. Only suggestion would be to have a way to link to individual methods in the docs w/ hashes. I really commend the effort

Agreed. Doing a freemium model where you can save only save 1 poem. Unlocking adds theming, Facebook+Twitter connection, and unlimited poems. Worth $.99? That's subjective, but this entire app is more of an experiment than a business. Just

I'm going to be doing a similar writeup as my app launches in 2 weeks. I've got a small budget. All the design+dev was me, but I'm spending about $300-$400 on marketing. We'll see how that goes. If anything I believe you should be spending

SEEKING WORK - Remote only I'm an iOS developer. I've been making apps for about 2 years and work full time as a lead mobile dev (iOS & Android). Looking to do some short term gigs. Smaller apps would be nice. I put a lot of effort into

I was in the same boat as you. Now I'm nearing 2 years into being an iOS developer and I am in a ridiculous love affair with Objective-C + Cocoa. It is verbose, but so what? I've shown my code to non-iOS devs and even though they may not kn

Being an iOS dev and Android dev, going between Xcode and Eclipse is horrendous. I wish I would have seen IntelliJ IDEA before being halfway through our latest project (though IDEA still suffers from being built without tools consistent wit

I'll be using this for my app launch in February. Just so I'm clear, your app has to already be approved on the app store? So you could time your app launch date and Ping at the same time, or nearly the same time?
