Sweet, I attended a talk about this this spring in our university.
The one big question was about the enormous energy density in these cubes. It must some way or another get into them, which seemed quite impossible to do.
But, I for one hope this leads to some big leaps in performance that were previously not within reach for the foreseeable future.
There is also XRay Editor (http://mireus.com/xrayeditor/) that comes with an Xcode plugin to relatively easily convert the changes you made into code. It also has an overlay feature to be able to adapt to a mockup.
Then there's http://hierarchydetective.com/ which is OSS, still pretty rough. It support a few different hierarchies like UIKit, CALayer, cocos2d and can supposedly be easily expanded for more view hierarchy types.
Spark Inspector and Reveal are pretty similar at the moment. SI does notification tracking and also live UI updates (and rotating the 3D view in the client by device movement ;) ).
PonyDebugger is the only one that includes network traffic analysis.
I did a talk about these and more at CocoaHeads Dresden this week. Tough it hasn't been recorded and the slides are currently in German. I will translate them and post the link later.
It's case sensitive and has related problems in finding words. Entering all lowercase letters recommended.
While I'm sure it was a fun exercise to build it and there will most likely even be "helper apps" appearing on the App Store soon, I frown upon these. Letterpress will lose a lot of its fun once cheating takes over.
I was thinking that an app where you could take a picture of letterpress screen and it would use that and with some strategy (in terms of defending letters) would be fun project to make. Maybe more than playing the game :)
From my experience cheating, it would help to restrict words to 7 letters. Then the blocking rules would be more strategic, and at least the AI would be more fun to make.
Yes, but it would still be fairly easy. My AI is already not trying to use the longest word, but instead tries to secure as many tiles as possible. In many cases it means using shorter words that have just the right letters.
For some reason this app seems to miss a lot of its advertised functionality in Germany, or maybe just on my phone.
The image search results aren't displayed in a scrolling slideshow at all, instead each result links to the desktop version of a typical image search result, showing the preview and information in a sidebar and the embedding web page on the left.
Yes, the voice recognition is very fast, but then again, most questions only work in English, no chance to get anything useful in German or other languages.
That's not really competition to Siri in this department.
Feels like they aren't taking window.devicePixelRatio into account so that they end up with a legitimately retina-sized canvas... My canvases were always blurry like this until I took dpr into account.
While stitching together the original images to a higher resolution panorama (https://docs.google.com/open?id=0B2Y0xU4gYdrLd1BFNXJiT1JacUE - 50MB, 31K pixels wide, do not open the image in the browser, but download it, you've been warned.) I noticed a very clear difference in brightness between the left and the right end of it (the ends meet in the middle of the image, since I was recreating the angle that NASA chose).
