SwiftUI Modal Badness

By Joseph
Posted in ,
I’ve had a longstanding issue in Retrospective Timelines. I have a simple EditButton on the list of timelines in my app. This button toggles the list into edit mode where the user can perform several actions. The issue was that when I closed the modal view with a button, sometimes the EditButton on the list…

User Interface Update

By Joseph

I’m making progress on the user interface for the app. Most of my time has been spent on making the Event List views look the way I want. I’ve also updated the Event Edit view with a new timeline picker and a long form text view for editing notes. Timeline and Event List views side…

SwiftUI – A note about onAppear()

By Joseph
Posted in ,
This morning I made a custom version of a picker for the events form. I needed a way for events to select a different timeline. The default picker in SwiftUI had some limitations so I set out to make my own. The only main difference is that it uses a sectioned list with timelines sorted…

Setting up CloudKit with Core Data

By Joseph
Posted in ,
This is something I keep forgetting how to do so I’m posting this as a reference for future me and anyone else that finds it helpful. These instructions assume you have created a new Xcode project with these options. This will create some boiler plate Core Data code in the AppDelegate and SceneDelegate. In the…

Event Date List Row

I’ve been spending a lot of time today thinking about the row for the list of event dates. This has been something I’ve been sort of stuck on for the last couple of weeks. This list is a bit tricky because the data on it is not strictly events. The rows represent date records related…

    This was a short test recording I made with Adobe Podcast (beta as of Sep 2023).

    Recording:

    Unedited transcript:

    Joseph: This is just a test of the new Adobe Podcast app. It’s in beta and I’ve been on the waiting list for a couple of months and I got the email this weekend. So I’m talking into my MacBook with no microphone or anything, just using the the built in MacBook Pro microphone. And I’m sitting on my couch not terribly close to it and talking pretty quietly at my normal tone and not necessarily holding still or trying to be quiet. So. Yeah. That’s where it put this thing through its paces and see what it can do with mouth sounds and background sound or whatever. But yeah, I’m just going to talk for about, I don’t know, five more seconds and then I’ll stop and see what it sounds

    Notes

    • Editing is a bit limited
    • Exports are large and would need to be mixed down
    • Chrome only
    • Beta for now, pricing unknown
