After a long vacation I’m back to work. Actually I came back two weeks ago but I’ve had to spend some time figuring out what I should be working on.
What I’ve been doing in the meantime, since I can’t sit at my desk all day every day figuring stuff out, is implementing stop searching in C++. The app already has functionality running in C++ but this is the first major feature. You won’t see a difference, the app looks and works exactly the same except maybe a little faster, but now when I go to make the iPhone version I can use the exact same implementation which is key really to ever getting an iPhone version done.
The main thing I’d like to work on for the next while is a partial redesign of the app and a new feature, places. A place is somewhere like home, or work, or wherever, that the app knows about and can display in different places. A place will likely have an icon and a color so it’s easily recognizable when displayed in different places. It’s one of the oldest ideas I’ve had and I think I’ve thought it through enough that I can start implementing it. For instance, it was months ago that I made the list of colors and icons I’d like to offer.
