Weekly Roundup

Aaron Brethorst • December 27, 2011

Hello everyone, and welcome to this belated holiday weekly roundup! I’m sure you all understand that sometimes these things happen when you wwebsite as on the Internet.

I’ve been hard at work adding videos to all of our controls demoing their functionality. It’ll probably be a while before they all have videos, but I’ll be going back through the existing catalog in rating order while simultaneously adding videos to new controls that are published, which should hi...

Aaron Brethorst • December 27, 2011

Happy holidays everyone, and welcome to an extremely belated Control of the Week post! But you know how it goes sometimes when you wwebsite as on the Internet. This past week saw some interesting controls, but my personal favorite was F3BarGauge, which provides you with several different styles of digital gauges like you might see on an audio mixing board. I can imagine a number of places where the peak hold indicator esp...

SBTickerView allows you to flip arbitrary views, which means you can flip an individual UIImageView, your view controller’s entire view, or anything else! This control, written by Simon Blomme...

If you read the Control of the Week post, you already know about one of the Twitter-related items, and if you don’t read them, you should!

Cheers,

Control of the Week

A few days ago, I came across Ken Matsui’s MFDoorwayTransition project on GitHub. I thought it offered a really gorgeous way to transition from one app area to another. Say, for instance, you want to clearly delineate your app’s login experience from the main functionality in a way that’s more interesting than simply hiding a modal view controller. For this sort of scenario, MFDoorwayTransition ...

Welcome back to another edition of ‘Control of the Week!’ As you’ll see in the roundup, coming out in a couple days, we’ve seen a ton of great, new content over the past week, but one control in particular really stands out.

You might have seen TechCrunch’s post on Tuesday about the new Path 2.0 app. I did, and I was absolutely blown away ...
