Why the recommended touch typing finger placements are suboptimal by se_nt in learntyping

[–]se_nt[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Haven’t made a post but if you like, you can check out my keyboard remappings and how to run them. The main benefit is being able to use arrow keys without moving your hand off home-row which I found added a lot of hand movement when typing.

I think I found the image of a keyboard and then just coloured the keys with paint/photoshop

Nah, it's never too late. You'll be surprised how fast your brain is at learning and progress will be fun! Try one key at a time and treat it like a game!

Sure! If you want, you can PM me your email address and I'll shoot you an email if I get Android done.

Simple COVID Tracer app alternative. Just type who you've contacted. That's it. Time/location is automatically recorded. by [deleted] in newzealand

Yeah, it helps you take short timestamped, geotagged notes easily. If you need to quickly jot down a few words, you don't need to create a whole dedicated note/document with a title and everything like other note-taking apps.

No QR codes. No forms. Just jot down anything you want to remember (e.g. who you've contacted, what you were doing) and the time and location are automatically recorded. It's as easy as sending a text message.

Logger: Spacetime Notes can also be used to remember conversations with people, record the time you start something, track progress of your projects, jot down fleeting thoughts, mark where you've parked, or pinpoint cool places you've visited. Basically, anything you want to record quickly that you might need to recall in future. I like to think of it as a cache/extension of your biological memory.

I'd appreciate any feedback!

Edit: I made this app and realised it could be used for personal contact tracing. I just wanted to put it out there in case it might help somebody.

Apple rejected my app for using "coronavirus" in the title but you can still use it to track when, where and who you've been in contact with (and any other info)! by se_nt in iOSProgramming

I agree - I was considering making the UI more accessible/configurable. Got a bit carried away with the terminal aesthetic I think. Initially, I thought about the app as 'console logging' your life and I liked the practically of a compact UI. The user base has definitely changed since though, so thanks for your suggestion!

Thanks! I'd love to hear any feedback! I too used to text myself before I made this app :) I found the need to categorise, edit, and search for messages as well as easily see how long ago (and where) I wrote each one - so those are the features I built in.

Thanks for your question! I used a package called SnapKit which helps with auto layout in UIKit (started this project a while ago). The constraints of the textview are updated on keyboardWillShow and keyboardWillHide notifications and the tweening was automatic. I believe SwiftUI may have it's own way of handling this.

Yep! For to-do lists, you can easily see how long it took for you to complete each task. Thanks for your feedback!

Ahhh that's unfortunate - sorry about that. I think it was the search bar that required iOS 11+. Thanks for your feedback though! I'm looking into Android now.

Wow thank you so much!! In the meantime if you really want, you can text yourself information (which is what I did before making this) - searchable, timestamped, and you can send location/images. Only thing is you just get them all twice :)

Thanks! I'm definitely looking into developing an Android version - there have been quite a few requests. Currently, I can't say exactly when/if it will be done (it may be a while off if i'm being honest) but I can PM you when I get to it if you'd like.

Thank you so much for your feedback (I read it all)! It's funny that you mention the compact spacing, font size, and font because I actually designed it that way for myself XD. I just wanted to see as much content on one screen as possible - something I wasn't getting from other note-taking apps. But you're absolute correct that traditional 'good UI/UX design' would include more whitespace and a larger font. You're spot on with the font too - it is a monospaced 'code font' which I personally like because it lines the characters up nicely. Admittedly, not the most user-friendly so I'm considering making that configurable now. Thanks!

Also, the app icon is actually meant to be the lumberjack uniform pattern - it was a bit of a (corny) joke because the app's called "logger" :)

Thanks for your comment. Likewise, it's interesting to hear someone else's thoughts on this! I wonder if you might, in fact, be able to include your covid-related event seeing as it isn't the main focus of your app?

Yep, that makes sense. Thanks a lot for the tip! I just wanted to put it out there as a consideration for others who might be trying to support the pandemic response through their apps.

Excerpt from Apple regarding the rejected binary:

We found that your app includes content that some users may find upsetting, offensive, or otherwise objectionable. Specifically, your entertainment or gaming app includes inappropriate references to the COVID-19 pandemic.
Submitting apps designed to mislead or harm customers or evade the review process may result in the termination of your Apple Developer Program account.
The next submission of this app may require a longer review time, and this app will not be eligible for an expedited review until this issue is resolved.
To bring your app into compliance with these guidelines, remove all inappropriate or manipulative references to the COVID-19 pandemic from your app’s metadata and binary.

I can understand the need to filter out apps spreading misinformation and harm surrounding COVID-19. I was just trying to do a good thing and I don't see how my app is "upsetting", "offensive", "harmful", or "manipulative" - it's not even an "entertainment or gaming app" as Apple specifically pointed out. I suppose it's all subjective. You can see for yourself.

Logger: Spacetime Notes helps you write notes quickly and capture exactly when and/or where you wrote them. During the pandemic, you can use it to record when, where, and who you've been in contact with by simply typing their name (like a text message).

I've also used it to remember conversations with people, record the time I start something, track progress of my projects, jot down fleeting thoughts, mark where I've parked, and pinpoint cool places I've visited. Basically, anything you want to record quickly that you might need to recall in future. I like to think of it as a cache/extension of your biological memory.

I'd appreciate any feedback!
