Diary of a Diary – Building My First iOS App

Loved this. Some really interesting design ideas there - I quite liked the icon-driven one with the week's worth of timelines. Since I don't lead a very busy life (at least with regards to events) I think something like that would work quite well for me, but I get how it would turn into a nightmare quickly for people with busy schedules.

This was very interesting, thanks for writing it up! And I have to say I&#x27;m thoroughly impressed by the end result, looks fantastic!<p>Do you have anything planned to pull in data from the iOS calendar? Probably wouldn&#x27;t be easy to work out how to fit this with the idea of possibly syncing timeless events back as well. I love your app&#x27;s visuals but not so much the idea of manually keeping two calendars more or less up to date.

This was an interesting read, thank you. Did you do much research around the pricing and if so what prompted the final choice?

The problem with all these apps is that you have to feed the data, which is not optimal in a mobile phone using the keyboard. So most of the times it&#x27;s an overkill (loosing 5 minutes everytime you need to set up a reminder)...<p>I use these tools either as a small addition to my notebook, but everytime I tried to use them exclusively, I got burned.

This is very good! I have a similar but tangential idea that I need to get built - good to see such a successful concept and execution.<p>The running icon looks really weird though!

nice app, did you use any UI libraries that you found useful while building the app , esp for the flat UI and calendar ?
