My preferred workflow is to start with a new change, pick the changes I want, then use jj commit to describe the change and create a new empty one on top. Feels very similar to my old git workflow. If I end up with multiple features or abst

That's exactly it. I've been waiting for this since Dash first came out. At the time I was doing iOS dev in a lot of coffee shops and airports with spotty wifi on an 11" MacBook Air. This would have been perfect then, having

"iOS 7 Optimized" is Apple's way of saying "built with the iOS 7 SDK". Apps that are built for iOS 7 get the new shiny keyboard and some different behaviour when run on iOS 7, but can still run fine on older version

Yeah, I found myself visiting the Kickstarter page today hoping there was some way I could fund the project months after it completed. Needless to say I couldn't. Seems like it would be a useful feature for projects like this - I doubt they

After having spent a couple years doing embedded OS development in C, Objective C is beautiful. The verbosity makes it much easier to read than typical C code and the memory management is brilliant compared to doing it yourself. It walks th

I'd love to port it, but I'm at the point where I can't justify spending any more time on it unless I get some sales to prove there is a market for it. That and I don't actually have an Android device :S If sales actually pick up on iPhone,

Hi all, I'm hoping to get some feedback on my second iOS app, Scrollendar. My first app, LessonLog, is pretty niche (teachers with iPhones), so Scrollendar is my first app that I feel has a chance at any kind of popularity. Some background:
