As usual, I did a very assorted bunch of things:

• new admin tab so that i can change stuff without having to go onto my mac and hardcode stuff
• today view looks like paper - reminscient of the app icon!
• new about view
• the popover for subject details is smaller, removing bloat
• and a bunch of server improvements due to all of my users finding bugs and stuff!

I have expanded the home tab!!

Theres three tabs at the top, today, week, and upcoming.
week is what it already was
upcoming shows term dates, no school days, school events, and also the users own personal events they make.
the today view is a bit ugly but its sort of there!

there also an admin page now, so that i dont have to hardcode term dates etc, i can just send them as api requests (for admin accounts only lol)

Message extension got improved, it now checks if you have enabled sharing before allowing you to even sahre it, and tells

I’m adding countdowns everywhere, even when school is out, so that you can count the hours until your next period

This is currently the message extension ui. kinda ugly. that needs fixing

I also updated the created timetables detail view, and (ignore the screenshot) removes the save button cos no one is going to remember to press save when they change details, so this should save some frustration.

I improved the UI for this view, to better show classroom and teacher labels.

I also renamed “Authored” to “Created”, apparently its better copy, according to my friend.

The settings got cleaned up a bit, and importing from calendar again needs confirmation

I found an xcode bug, something to do with compilation errors for incorrect architecture, i dont get it but i gave apple feedback.

So I made a few more adjustments like removing the APNs registration page from onboarding to make onboarding even more seamless

Not important though. I discovered a really annoying problem: When I try to add iPad support, build fails because its trying to embed the watch app which obviously doesnt work on ipad. and xcode isnt letting me fix that. 😐

I made some UI rehauls again lol

• Current day receives theis blur effect which kinda looks like real light bouncing inside a box under the current day
• The accent colour of the app is now brown, as I am trying to make the app feel more like paper, which will become more obvious as i later add paper elements and views inside the app.
• My last update released a new account backend, which meant some users were not able to log in, so i decided to nuke the database and reset everything 💀 but anyway it worked and i upgraded the server to be better at handling this
• The sheet to add a shared timetable is improved, with blur effects and stuff, and that tiemtable preview has gotten much better it was pretty bad before ngl

I did a bunch of things:

• current day highlight in ios
• improve the notification early sending, to allow users to send notifications at multiple offsets
• remake the ui for share timetable sheet
• also the ui for the link customisation, tinted mint for whatever reason
• sharing links is now a URL, which prompts you to open the app but uses decently ugly html, ill fix later.
• New icon for apple watch that is optimised for the smaller display size (just made the components bigger and removed some duplicate elements
• added some mroe developer items at the bottom, doesnt serve much purpose just looks cool lol
• i removed the status badges that show success, cos i thought they would annoy the user with too many success alerts, and success when you are toggling settings doesnt really need alerts, so yeah.
• i also hit a bug where notifications would send twice, i had to improve the apns token system to not duplicate tokens for a device.
• on startup the app shows “restoring account…” every time, so i had to cache the profile data to make it stay signed in until explicitly signed out.
• its kinda hard to see in the screenshot but there is progressivew blur at the bottom and top, looks nice

I had a bug where the device could receive 2 notifications and live activities for each device, so I had to remake the APNs (apple push notification service) token management.

I also added a highlight around the current day, with the setting to disable it. i thought a stroke was better than a fill because its less overwhelming and doesn’t break the ui style.

😍

As you saw before the onboarding UI was a bit broken, so I went through and fixed it up and also trimmed down how many pgaes it has. Those bottom buttons aren’t concentric for some reason, even though I am using the built-in toolbar API, so I can’t fix it. Oh well.

And it’s done to 8 pages, from 13. I still have som non-UI bugs to fix.

• Updated splash screen
• Notificaitons now have threads (each school day is a thread)
• macos window size animation fixed (the macos window resizes depending on the current state of the app, like currently selected tab etc.
• fixed some bugs in live activities and server authentication

Fixed some server bugs, a user reported getting “forbidden” status messages, turns out I forgot to migrate the database 😐

And other UI refinements:

• Tab bar uses monospace font
• version and build in settings
• feedback sheet

Plus a version for debug builds, I think they came out really nice!!

I think this is pretty much it.

I think I’m getting there

I think I’ve locked in to this one. Now I need to figure out what to actually put on the papar, im thinking it has to be a kind of simplifed version of the existing main UI of my app. something kinda like a calendar schedule

So many variants!

and idk which one is best
