Just added some more cool stuff to my Micro.blog app!
Caching for any type of object, a basic profile screen, auto login, and a few tweaks to the messages!
P.S. It currently supports the polling API, so you get a nice little banner if there’s new posts waiting for you!
Thanks to the /account/verify endpoint, I’ve now added some real verification for logging in with an app token!
(I also made some cool errors as well)
Train programming. [16/365]
Login in my app “works”!
I had to write some generic navigation stuff, and better handling for global errors, but you can at least log in using a token.
Maybe tomorrow I’ll add the username/password method. Should be simple enough, one API call, and a URL Scheme to accept it.
I thought I’d do some more work on my Micro.blog iOS client this evening. So far it can only view the following sections:
The code however, is probably the best I’ve ever written. I’ve kept it pretty generic, and it’s something that can definitely be expanded upon pretty quickly now.
What I worked on tonight, was the interface and some of the error handling for the initial login page. I want to support logging in by a Micro.blog username/password, but also by a direct app token.
It is at the minute, a strict Micro.blog client, because I don’t plan on developing a whole blogging application. However I will look into that decision in the future.
For now, here’s a preview of the Login page:

It may seem like a boring score, but it’s better than what usually happens in this type of game. [10/365]
Pretty miserable day in London. [9/365]
I didn’t do much yesterday, apart from working on some watch stuff for work! [8/365]
Just a quick photo of documents being burned at the House of Commons.
A nice twist on a good game! [7/365]
Chilling with this cat all day! [6/365]
The restaurant ran out of cheesecake, so I had another beer for dessert. [5/365]
Sitting at my desk all day today. Luckily I have a new BB8 light! 🤖 [4/365]
Played really well, but the referee changed the game. [3/365]
Back to work as usual. [2/365]
I’ve been getting annoyed recently with the amount of simulators I had installed in Xcode at work. But I’ve come across a really simple command that will fix this automatically.
I had 10.1, 10.2, 11.0. 11.1, and 11.2 installed, which I then reduced to just two of them. Then instead of painfully selecting and deleting each generated simulator, I just typed this:
fastlane snapshot reset_simulators
It uses Fastlane’s Snapshot tool, and what it does is delete all of your current simulators, and generate a set of new ones depening on the current SDKs you have installed.
Pretty much played World of Warcraft all day today. [1/365]
Welcome, 2018. 👋🏻
The avatar images “work”!
I have them displaying properly, downloading properly, and also using placeholders when it hasn’t been downloaded yet.
Images also cache up to a predefined limit, and are stored with the URL as a key.
The only thing left, is to then update whatever is presenting the placeholder image, when the real one has finished downloading.
