We arrived at our fifth and final day of the event, with a sinking heart for not being able to see all the amazing sessions that Apple has brought to us. But I couldn’t keep myself from giving my two cents on the new way to optimize the product page in the App Store that emerged at WWDC21. ❤️ Get ready to optimize your App Store product page - WWDC 2021 - Videos - Apple Developer We have at our side the following elements that can be used to make a great first impression: app’s icon, ...| Codrs
In iPadOS 15, Apple introduced a ton of new features that people have been enjoying on iOS for a year now. Specifically Apple has brought widgets and the app library to the iPad. The App Library does not have much of an affect on Tumblr, however widgets can. Designing Beautiful Widgets Apple has had a few sessions this WWDC talking about widgets. They had one on principles of great widgets and adding intelligence to your widgets. These sessions are really good to watch if you are wondering ab...| Codrs
By: Praveen Nagaraj Apple published a session on Tuesday that discussed using the keyboard ⌨️ to simplify navigation through an app’s views and view controllers on iPad. Though it may seem unnecessary, web applications like Twitter have proven the usability of a pure keyboard-based navigation. This is not just for ease-of-use, but also accessibility ♿️. Another one of Apple’s key focuses for this WWDC was building increasingly inclusive and accessible applications. This is seen as...| Codrs
We must always know that an application, on any platform, requires many lines of code tailored by the developers, a well-built interface made by the designers, among other things, that may include many other professionals (even from other areas!), they had to carefully think, prototype and validate to ensure that I am here able to write and publish this post! 📝✍️ With that many elements at the table, of course, we might not be able to think of every scenario that our application will m...| Codrs
By: Praveen Nagaraj In my first post, I talked about how Tumblr isn’t taking advantage of larger devices, being a very media-centric application. Widgets The iOS 14 widget craze showed how much people were excited by the idea of having a new look for their spring board (home screens). Widgets from apps like Photos makes the spring board more personal for users. Yesterday, WWDC offered a session on more intelligent widgets, which got me searching… only to find that Tumblr didn’t offer an...| Codrs
My day today was mostly taken up by labs. I had one big one talking about the future of my App Jellycuts. The reason for this is because of how iOS 15 and macOS 12 have changed Shortcuts. To better fit this new method of Shortcuts sharing, I will have to do a lot of work, from rewriting a good chunk of my sharing code 🤯 to possibly making a whole macOS server 😅. All of this change got me thinking about how platforms like Tumblr need to adapt to new spaces. That is what I will be talking...| Codrs
You’ve probably already skipped those introductory screens that explain how the application works, a.k.a onboardings, or you’ve given up putting your information on a very long form. I know! I was also on that boat once! 👀👀 Although there are several super cool new technologies and features, it’s also necessary that we know how to apply them in a correct way, ensuring a more fluid and pleasing experience within the application. The same applies to releasing a new feature, for exam...| Codrs
Apple has always focused on providing a great experience, from the presentations to what it proposes for the developers. On the second day of the WWDC21 event, a theme that keeps coming back is the importance of a more inclusive and accessible design on all of the different application scopes. It can even be seen in the language that we use and look for reference, respecting different perspectives, adopting more accessibility features, making our design more inclusive, especially in the area ...| Codrs
