Right now it’s not pretty, but it is beginning to come together.

We’ve chosen to go for "standard" not clever custom controls. This has had a couple of advantages. We’ve also decided that we are going to design for beginners (almost certainly the clients for most web-designers) who just want to tap a button and have something very predictable happen, and experts who know what they are doing.

Hopefully we struck the right balance. Video and screen-shots coming soon (one more functionality task to do first).

Can’t seem to find a slick way to add HTML editing “tool bar” on iPhone. Don’t want to give up any more screen real-estate most of the time. Easy on iPad, tough on phone

You must have days like this? I don’t want to have to worry about anyone other than me finding it cool. It’s all so serious!

Right, back to qualifying the new EE releases…

Just a quickie with a new choice when adding an image to a text area…

I’m trying to get a sense of what people do in their entries… We do a couple of links, maybe a list or two, and some images… But little else… What about you? Tweet back please!

We are adding some cool file management features. Take a photo or record a movie and instantly upload. Upload files (archives, movies, pictures, WHATEVER) from e-mail attachments, web-pages, or other applications and very importantly your Dropbox account You can also delete files you no longer need. Wicked.

We used a local one-man band PHP consultant to get us started with the module while we focused on the App. One of our users turned up a bug. Not a serious one,  just a bug bug. What it showed however was lazyness. Just hardcoded a value rather than doing a DB lookup to ensure that the value was correct.

Quick fix, but we won’t be using them again.

It’s the end of a curiously hard week (nothing wrong, just felt like we were pushing through treacle). Decided to let you all know we are focusing on two areas in 1.4. Improved editing facilities and files/uploads. To this end we’ve added Dropbox support (learn more here) which is super useful for us already… I’ll trickle out more over coming weeks, but files and editing are where our focus is.

After a release we always have a list of small things we couldn’t do… But we have now gotten around to tidying up the file manager, and oh, perhaps one or two new features…
