I would say it can wait. The "bounce" behavior is pretty well understood on the platform. The other way to do it, if you feel that the order of the pictures represents some kind of progression, is to disable the "Left" button on the first picture and the "Right" button on the last picture.
A few other things I have noticed:
- The app doesn't tell me how many pictures there are and/or which picture I am on. That would help in knowing how far into the pictures you are, and give me a way to easily find a picture again.
- The app always starts at that first picture. It would be nice if it restarted where I left it. If I wanted to show a particular picture to someone, I've got to start the app and then swipe my way through.
- If you start swiping very quickly to try to motor through the pictures, it looks like the phone can't keep up and you end up with a black background for a bit.
- The "Random" has some kind of a bug that I've only been able to produce once where, when pressing it rapidly, I got the spinner to come up and never go away.
- "Random" generally results in the spinner getting shown, and then the screen simply displaying the new image. However, if the image is an image to the immediate left or right of the current image it does a swipe style animation to display it. It should probably be consistent and just pop the image on screen.
- A way to get to the beginning or the end might also be useful. Perhaps a double tap on the screen can alternate bouncing you between the first and last picture. You could use the double tap to bounce between the first and last picture for now, and in the future change use it to display a tiled "Camera Roll" style view.
This is not right. Work in a manner that the work you are doing can be spun off and will continue to work on its own, leaving you free to do something new that will build on top of that.
Hi HN, I'd like some criticism of my iPhone app. I'm a bit ashamed of it, and yes, it's not rocket science, but it has been in the top 100 in the lifestyle section for close to 3 months, and brings in a decent income. Check the child comment of this for promo codes to try it out.
Ha, exactly what I was thinking. Sounds like the author is in a fund which invested in Tumblr. And he's got Twitter envy and feels the need to micro-manage!
I'm currently setting up an office in Shenzhen in china, and the programmers really are high quality, and you pay them about $400 a month. It's an excellent way to keep your costs low and grow quickly - living space is nice and cheap, for the office I pay $300 a month in a space that can seat 6.
If you want more info, just send me an email! I'd like more guys to join in, so I can get bigger and nicer places. If you are up for some travel and want to work in an office, it's perfect!
Working with your spouse needs a special kind of person on both sides. Most people would not succeed with this, some would. Just because you would does not mean most would.
Trust me, Django is almost dead. The hype around Django is completely dead and existing developers are using it, but new developers are not jumping on ship. In 6 years there will be a serious Django shortage of maintanance personell.
Stick with rails and don't make the silliest mistake of your life.
Understanding a bar chart or a pie chart is something you learned at some point. It takes a while to learn to inteprete these things.
Most people are not dumb. They are rather smart, but they focus their thoughts on the things they have interest in. In other things, they do not pay attention.
