Weekly Roundup

Aaron Brethorst • January 30, 2012

Hi everyone, and welcome to this week’s Weekly Roundup! In addition to trolling GitHub for cool, new controls, we also read a ton of blogs, Twitter posts, and Hacker News links, where we run into all sorts interesting content that—traditionally—hasn’t fit in well with the standard Cocoa Controls model. So, we’re mixing it up a bit, and adding a new feature this week: What We’re Reading. It seems like a shame to not share this stuff, and we hope you like it. Let us know ...

Control of the Week

Aaron Brethorst • January 30, 2012

We’ve all dealt with the hassle of constructing UITableViewController subclasses specifically to capture a couple pieces of data. Maybe you’ve even created a half-baked generic frameworky sort of thing to make the process easier. I know I have, at least twice. This isn’t any fun, and yet we keep doing it. I now know that there’s a better way to deal with these sorts of things, with this week’s Control of the Week:

Welcome to another edition of Control of the Week!

Control of the Week, 01/06

Aaron Brethorst • January 09, 2012

Welcome to another Control of the Week post! I hope you successfully survived the holidays, and are happy and excited to be back to work.

This week’s Control of the Week comes from Jamin Guy, an iOS developer with Griffin Technology. His best known app has over two million(!) downloads, and he appears to be quite the relentless helper-outer (question-answerer?) on StackOverflow for iOS questions.

Yes, that’s right: our control of...

Aaron Brethorst • January 01, 2012

Happy New Year, and welcome to another control of the week post! We’ve seen a lot of cool stuff posted here over the past week, but my personal favorite offers you another UI element from one of the best new apps of the past couple months: Path 2.0.

Meet TimeScroller for iOS, which lets you declutter your UI by moving posted times out of your table cells and onto a snazzy clock overlay. As always it’s...
