iPad Width issues

By Joseph
Posted in Retrospective, Technical
There are some issues with the NavigationView in SwiftUI that prevent the Master Detail version from showing the back button in portrait mode. To get around this I’m using StackNavigationViewStyle. This is OK on most iPads, but on the larger iPad Pro models in landscape it looks ridiculous. This is my attempt to get around…

Event Detail and Edit combined

By Joseph
Posted in Retrospective, Technical
Up until now I’ve been using separate views for Event Detail (view only) and Event Edit. I decided to try to combine these into one view and work them into the main navigation stack. This way event data entry can be done without opening a modal. Adding a new event will still be done in…

I’ve spend the last few weeks working on schema and core data. I’m ready to start working on some more advanced user interfaces. Before I begin I wanted to share some images of what the app looks like as of Oct. 14, 2019. Timelines will likely change very little, but I have a lot of…

Lazy sorting

Posted in Retrospective, Technical
Yesterday I mentioned an issue I can across when sorting date records. Some of my date records could validly have a nil value in the date field (these are the “end” records for ongoing events).

    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

    Pancakes and Space.

    Pancakes = the 2D (normal) UI/UX work I do all day

    Space = the 3D/VR work I tinker with

    Apple Vision Pro = Pancakes IN Space
