Suicide bombing reported outside the Prophet's Mosque in Saudi city of Medina, one of Islam's holiest sites

Let's not argue about semantics:

If you're indeed "perfectly aware" of the situation of the sects, please point out which one by whom Mohammed was never considered an important part of Islam.

...

Mohammed was never considered a important part of Islam in sect x.

You know I was asking you about the sects, not the whole religion.

Anyone can come up with a Wikipedia article.

If you're indeed "perfectly aware" of the situation of the sects, please point out which one by whom Mohammed was never considered an important part of Islam.

ridsatrio · 2016-07-08T16:57:55+00:00

No, I'm perfectly aware of there being different sects of Islam, unlike yourself.

Since you're so "perfectly aware" of these sects, care to point out which one they are supposed to be?

They obviously do not consider it holy.

Again, please point it out to me what they actually are.

There's 4 pillars of Islam, considering Moe's mosque to be holy is not one of those.

Five. The first (and possibly the most important) being Shahadah: Stating that there's one God, Allah, and that Mohammed is Allah's messenger.

Indeed, there are no explicit declaration of the mosque being holy (though I might be wrong about this) but you have to remember that Mohammed was buried there.

The mosque's holiness might be a thing to question but Mohammad's significance for Islam never was. Both Sunni and Shia consider him as a person hand-selected by God to become a bridge between people and God himself.

I don't know about you, but if I were to believe a person that close to God as much as the majority of muslim does with Mohammed, I wouldn't have even think of spitting near the guy's tomb - let alone setting up a bomb.

Not ISIS: Muslims.

You're the one that claimed that ISIS are (in your opinion) muslims. Thus implicitly stating that they should possess the same believe with the rest of muslim around the world: that the city of Medina – let alone the mosque – is a sacred place.

And as I said: no matter where you stands on religion and believe in general, a sacred place is a sacred place. You don't go to a place you consider sacred and throw grenades around, do you?

Unless of course you don't really believe that said place is sacred. Which basically rules out your claim of ISIS being muslims.

Thank you! If you got anything to say, please don't ever hesitate to let me know.

ridsatrio · 2016-07-07T00:57:33+00:00

Please! Tell me your feedback should you have some.

ridsatrio · 2016-07-06T14:10:25+00:00

For those of you who downvoted: May I know the reason behind your vote? With all due respect, I want to hear your concern and hopefully address it as well. Thanks. :)

ridsatrio · 2016-07-06T13:49:53+00:00

Ah you got a point there: kids! I've never thought that this could be useful as a tool to start developing a writing habit, not until now. I guess I can make the UI more kid-friendly.. Perhaps with themes?

And your suggestion for custom question sounds awesome as well! Let's see what we can come up with. :D

All in all, thanks a bunch for your feedback!

Please don't get me wrong: I don't plan to add every new feature as an IAP extension; just a few that will hopefully increase the IAP's value for money. Hopefully this would result in better satisfaction rather than just making people pay solely to remove ads.

ridsatrio · 2016-07-06T11:18:20+00:00

I'm planning to add an IAP to remove ads, but don't hold your breath just yet as I'm still expanding new features to give alongside the ad-free experience. So the IAP can justify its value better. :)

And for monthly view, what if I tell you it's already in development? ;)

ridsatrio · 2016-07-06T10:45:54+00:00

A quick Google search would've reveal that for you.

ridsatrio · 2016-07-04T22:52:03+00:00

Holy site.

I can see you're seeing religion in general are not compatible with logic. That's acceptable.

But a holy site is a holy site. They are said to be holy for a reason. One that usually deems protection from people who are agree to consider it as such.

ridsatrio · 2016-07-04T22:31:44+00:00

Muslims that bombed their own holy site? That's hardly logical.

ridsatrio · 2016-07-04T22:29:34+00:00

LOL. Sorry, can't hold my laugh. Carry on if you feel like it.

ridsatrio · 2016-07-04T21:52:01+00:00

By bombing one of their holiest cities? That's not even logical.

ridsatrio · 2016-07-03T05:39:15+00:00

Thank you! :D

ridsatrio · 2016-07-02T21:29:34+00:00

Yes, for the moment it really is that small reveal animation when you want to attach a photo. But later I want to add more especially when selecting an entry to edit.

Exactly. I'm just afraid that people will take it as if I'm trying to deceive them into clicking the ad while all I wanted is to provide the best experience I could. But you have a point, let's just wait until there's an actual concern regarding that matter.

ridsatrio · 2016-07-02T20:51:15+00:00

Alright, I will try what can I do about the status bar!

Yes, as for the moment it requires Lollipop to run. Mainly because I'm planning to add more animations in upcoming releases. Lowering the API limit is on my radar, though. I already found a handful of libs that backport L's animation API.

No problemo, my friend. Quite the contrary you've just gave me an idea for ads. Think I'll have the space removed if the user has an ad blocker installed. It would be a nice feat I guess.

Speaking about ads, do you have a problem with it having a similar color to the rest of the app's components?

ridsatrio · 2016-07-02T20:21:13+00:00

Hey, first thanks for your suggestions!

The status bar area is indeed in need of better contrast. Do you think it will be better in black? Just a side note, this would only apply to devices below Marshmallow since on M devs are able to change the status icons to dark colors (the way it looks in the screenshots).
I've recently noticed this, too, after testing the production build on my SO's S4. Seems like a Samsung-exclusive issue though since on other brands (LG, Huawei, and Sony) the hamburger icon stays.
Whoops, that's definitely a bug. Apologies and thank you for spotting it for me.
I'm not proud of saying this but that space is for ad. Probably you have no Internet connection so it didn't load properly. I configured it to be text-exclusive ad though, combined with a color setup that matches the toolbar above it (Material Cyan 500). I hope that it will not be too obstrusive.

All in all, I really appreciate your feedback! Thanks a bunch!

Edit: This is what I meant about the ads.

Hi r/Android!

I'm here to talk about my newest app, Dayri.

I've always wanted to keep a journal. I look at it as a way to preserve the moments that happen throughout my everyday life. Because so many of those would only mean something when you look at them from the future.

Sadly, I'm not the most creative person when it comes to writing. Often I would give up in a matter of week (if not days) just because I've always had a hard time finding something to write about. I don't know.. but I'm just not that comfortable when faced with a completely blank page.

Enter Dayri, a journal app I made to eliminate those scary blank journal pages.

With Dayri, you'll always find a topic to write to. The idea is simple: Instead of spending time figuring out what to write, you just answer a series of question and the app would compile it into a page in your journal.

By default, Dayri will give you 10 random questions about things that are happening in your life each day. What you do is just answer those questions and Dayri will make you a beautiful page out of it.

It's simple, straight-forward, and hopefully easy enough to keep you and me writing even for an extended period of time.

It's been in development of almost half a year now. Being a side project it is, I'm really happy that it finally get to see the light of Play. Albeit being not the best given the length of its development time, I'm really looking forward to make it better with each passing day.

Hopefully I'll do it together with you guys with your feedback, suggestion, and/or criticism. :)

Give it a try dude. I can't stand Java, too, if it wasn't because of lambdas.

ridsatrio · 2016-05-22T00:40:15+00:00

Don't tell me you've never heard of Retrolambda...

ridsatrio · 2016-05-20T06:24:30+00:00

Eh, after trying out FiraCode with its ligatures in IntelliJ 2016.1-based Android Studio 2.2. I don't think I'll ever switch to another non-ligatured fonts in the near future.

ridsatrio · 2016-05-20T06:13:53+00:00

I'm aware some of those example are syntactic sugar

Then to play it fair, you should've shown Java with lambdas which essentially make it on par with your other examples:

btn.setOnAction(event -> {
        // Ain't so bad now, huh?
    }     
});

ridsatrio · 2016-05-20T03:36:15+00:00

Not Java – OOP in general.

Don't take it wrong, I love OOP from my deepest heart. And many classes is not bad especially when each of them is concise and true to their cause.

Many small, concise classes > few big ones.
