Weekly Roundup

Our App of the Week is Animoto Video Maker, which lets you create really gorgeous, shareable videos from the photos and videos on your iPhone.

The app uses four components from Cocoa Controls for its tweeting, progress, refreshing, and grid view needs. Check it out!

Create icons using the resolution-independent Font Awesome. Works for iOS and OS X.

Font Awesome was created by Dave Gandy -http://fortawesome.github.com/Font-Awesome

OWActivityViewController is a fork of REActivityViewController, with no external dependence. only support iOS integrated Social Network (for iOS 6: Twitter/Facebook/SinaWeibo, for iOS 5: Twitter).

Here is REActivityViewController dependencies:

• AFNetworking ~> 1.1
• Facebook-iOS-SDK ~> 3.2
• DEFacebookComposeViewController ~> 1.0.0
• REComposeViewController ~> 2.0
• PocketAPI ~> 1.0.2
• SFHFKeychainUtils ~> 0.0.1
• AFXAuthClient ~> 1.0.5

For some one only want their apps the same behavior as pre installed apps (such as Photos app) under iOS 6 (show Twitter/Facebook/SinaWeibo as share options, even if corresponding account is not set up in iOS Settings.), and provide modern UI under iOS 5, there is no need to depend on lots external libraries.

REActivityViewController is more powerful, but OWActivityViewController is more slim; they are different.

Wolfpack is an image processing library for iOS that uses Core Image to apply pre-defined filtered effects to an image.

This subclass of UIScrollView serves as a Navigation which can hold buttons or other views which respond to clicks.

Source Code includes usage example.

A UISlider subclass that adjusts its appearance based on the positional attitude of the device.

An easy to use and customize replacement to the stock UIActionSheet. A sample project is included.

A sample project is included and you can easily see how to create new themes once you dig around in the source code a bit.

Known issues: Nothing is handled with the title attribute yet. Coming soon

A fork of the original QuadCurveMenu, now AwesomeMenu, that is more configurable and extendable. I proposed a pull request and this was not what the original author had intended to create.

• ARC Enabled

• Menu can display menu items in a radial, linear or customizable direction.

• Menu items are automatically medallion-ized (AGMedallionView) so custom medallion-ized images do not have to be created.

• Menu will generate delegate events for willExpand, didExpand, willClose, and didClose.

• Menu will ask a delegate shouldExpand before expanding and shouldClose before closing

• Menu will generate events for tap (didTapMenu) and long press (didLongPressMenu)

• Menu is composed with individual, customizable animations for expand, close, selected, and unselected.

Manipulate characters in your texts and create animated eye catching notifications, tips, and alerts to your users with this set of animations.

A UIImageView subclass that ignores touches on transparent pixels, based on OBShapedButton by Ole Begemann.

RMShapedImageView does it magic by overriding pointInside:withEvent:. This method is called to determine if a touch is inside the view. In our case, we only want to return YES if the corresponding pixels are not transparent (alpha > 0).

A control that resembles a roulette wheel of cards, implemented with a UICollectionViewFlowLayout subclass. The design is inspired by the Yahoo TimeTraveler app.

A subtle gradient button, derived from NSView.

SwipeView is a class designed to simplify the implementation of horizontal, paged scrolling views on iOS. It is based on a UIScrollView, but adds convenient functionality such as a UITableView-style dataSource/delegate interface for loading views dynamically, and efficient view loading, unloading and recycling.

SwipeView’s interface and implementation is based on the iCarousel library, and should be familiar to anyone who has used iCarousel.

iOS video trim control. Easy customization.

THLabel is a subclass of UILabel, which additionally allows shadow blur, stroke text and fill gradient.

MBButtonMenuController is a UIViewController subclass that implements something similar to UIActionSheet.

It offers an unlimited number of buttons, a delegate for handling taps, and a cool visual effect when it’s presented.

Give it a whirl and feel free to contribute.

FAWE is a library that helps you leverage the excellent icon font library Font Awesome in your iOS projects.

FAWE extends default Cocoa framework components to make working with icons as easy as possible. FAWE also provides some classes of its own. The basis for all iconic UI controls is FAWEIconView, which you can use either as a standalone component or with standard UI controls, such as UIButton. FAWEIconView extends UILabel, so you can use the properties of UILabel to control its look and feel, but it also introduces some features of its own, such as gradient icon color and inner shadow.

Tag list like iOS Mail app’s sender or recivers tags.

A viewer app for twitter archive. The usage is Just replacing “tweets” folder with yours.

Just a custom (determinate) Circular Progress Indicator
