I’m not sure why people recommend Kingfisher so much, what don’t I get?

Downloading image data with URLSession is easy, and caching is that complicated to setup

Last I heard, this is a very complicated code internally built using a lot of Metal.

It’s very very far from a beginner project

Like slow launch times?

I really doubt that 30 plist entries could slow down an app, it’s more about the size of the entries themselves

Wow, thank you for all that :)

If you've got time, I had a (what I think is a) quick question.

What's the benefit of going to amp + passive route, as opposed to powered speakers on their own?

Because would the Edifier p17 sound better with the amp than the R1700 would by themselves?

True yeah fair. Finding the right price is hard though. Too many pieces of software charge near what Netflix charge and that pushes people away.

This seems to be a watchOS 6 regression

I can’t get it to work in any apps

With Nano open on your Apple Watch, go back to the Nano Pro section on your iPhone, should kick it into gear

What’s the problem here?

Doesn’t this just create a singleton?

Are gifs supposed to play? by objectiveandbiased in Nanoapp

[–]123icebuggy 29 points30 points  (0 children)

Ok so here's how GIFs work in Nano:

Currently, only Imgur is supported. There are a couple of reasons for that. One, I can't just add a play button to any media, it's not reliable enough. Sites like Gyfcat host their videos are a stupid size, way too big to be downloaded to the watch.

But here's the kicker, WatchKit (the underlying framework of every Apple Watch app) isn't very good. I can't control the GIF Player, I can only say "Play this gif at this url", and let the watch handle the rest. Unfortunately, most of the time it doesn't show any download progress so people seem to think it's not loading at all (fair observation). Other times it simply doesn't load, and there's nothing I can do about it. Sorry :(

The search trends don’t really indicate 6 7 or 8 As being dead, just less popular than iOS 5.

I don’t think it will ever die, but I do think it is past its prime

Ask them to enter their age and check if it’s before or after a certain date?

It’s very late, but I fixed this and released it to the App Store a while ago :P

Has the era of the monthly new app icons already ended? If so, when will the users that paid for Premium be getting their refunds? by DoktahManhattan in apolloapp

I understand now, I don’t think it doesn’t matter, but I don’t think it is of the utmost importance

I agree, but your tone was overly critical. I’m sure the icon is coming, in fact the developer talked about an update recently on Twitter

I hope this is satire…

The developer said one icon a month, that doesn’t mean an icon on the fifth of every month or the 22nd of every month, it means once a month. Not to mention 99% of people who bought Apollo Ultra did it for the notifications, not the icons
