KVNBoundedImageView attempts to keep faces visible and centered in a UIImageView. It is designed to be easy to use and extensible for different types of image detection.

With configurable detection speed, operation queues, caching, and utilizing the optimized image rendering of UIImageView (no custom drawing here), KVNBoundedImageView aims to be as fast as possible, without blocking the main thread when heavy lifting is needed. Simple image loading via a URL is also available.

RNBlurredSideViewController is a side view controller with a dynamic blurred background effect when swiping similar to the iOS 7 control center. It can be used to show views on the side like the Facebook or Path app. The unique feature of RNBlurredSideViewController is that it can blur the side view background dynamically when swiping which is similar to the iOS 7 control center. The implementation of the blur effect is not based on UIToolbar. The blur effect can be customized.

RNBlurredSideViewController is available through CocoaPods, to install it simply add the following line to your Podfile:

pod "RNBlurredSideViewController"

add it to your view:

 [view addSubview:slider];

and recieve updates at:

Sometimes you need things to happen at specific times and things.

When it's just an event 2.0 seconds later, a performSelector:withObject:afterDelay: is perfect.

If it gets a little more complex where you need something happening ever 3.0 seconds, a quick implementation of NSTimer is good.

But what if you want something to happen every 2 seconds and then at the 7th second something else to happen. Or if you want to pause everything for a while and then resume later?

That's where Easy Timeline comes into play.
