Something like this probably indeed.

Re: - Beginning Elm

artemmarchenko — Sun, 18 Oct 2020 12:44:34 -0000

I am trying what functional languages are by playing with Elm with this awesome tutorial. Once you try following Elm Architecture things seem to be quite logical, yet there are a couple of things that become looking more and more strange to me.

1. Main.elm update starts having quite a lot of duplication. Virtually same code is just converting (almost "casting"?) messages and models and that's it.
In something like Java I would have pages implement same base interface and ask them to do conversion themselves (that would possibly be just a casting operator). Elm doesn't seem to have supertypes or interfaces (or I don't yet know how they work) and compiler would probably have difficulties verifying the exact type anyways.

So.. is it the Elm way to just have a long case whenever you need to cal similar-looking functions, but coming from different types (basically making your own Virtual Methods Table) or is it just a tutorial simplifaction for now?

2. It seems like there are quite many Whataver.map functions (e.g. Cmd.map or Html.map or List.map)
I sort of expected to have something like general map function that could be parametrized by in-out types, yet apparently it is not the Elm way (or somehow not possible?) - why?

Самая вакханалия происходит всё же в парке Кайвопуйсто. Лично меня больше всего поразили даже не пьянка и туалеты на улицах, а организованная сдача бутылок за деньги :) https://youtu.be/f7MPmeXDqe... (это своя съёмка именно момента сдачи)

Re: Next Version of API Documentation

artemmarchenko — Fri, 23 Oct 2015 08:53:33 -0000

Also if we happen to use the "old" format, what would be a way for us to migrate to "new" format?

Re: Next Version of API Documentation

artemmarchenko — Fri, 23 Oct 2015 08:18:52 -0000

Hmm, how do I know if our documentation is in this "new" format or not? What exactly does new/old mean? A particular format version?

Is FORMAT: 1A - "new" already?
I inherited docs from the old team member and not sure if it's going to disappear soon.

Re: Qt on iOS and Android. Looking native today. Or maybe tomorrow

artemmarchenko — Tue, 09 Jun 2015 11:43:59 -0000

In general, you can do anything in Qt as long as you don't care much about the app looking and feeling exactly native.

In practice though there aren't many Android/iOS/WP apps built with Qt yet, so you may like to ask for the advice on the Qt-related discussion boards.

Sorry, Ville, my Jolla phone is in maintenance right now. And then I think now there is the Situations app that should cover what Night Silence was doing very well. Does it work for you?

Re: Audience Intelligence: User Demographics and Their Related Apps Revealed

artemmarchenko — Mon, 08 Dec 2014 17:23:59 -0000

Well, I would be most interested in understanding better the demographics of our own app. In fact I wouldn't mind if other guys won't be able to see that about our app :)
So as long as it will show me the demographics for my app and the price is reasonable (in our startup case "reasonable" probably means "real cheap"), I would buy the service. If it shows info about all the apps in the world, but not about ours, well, we'll skip probably :)

Re: Audience Intelligence: User Demographics and Their Related Apps Revealed

artemmarchenko — Fri, 05 Dec 2014 12:51:35 -0000

Is this going to be supported for some top apps only or for all apps AppAnnie has data about? We would care a lot about demographics of our own app, maybe have a little interest about a couple of similar apps and zero interest about the rest of the app store (okay, I would still have a look at Facebook and Twitter data just for fun :))

And out of curiosity: how are you guys able to collect this info?

Re: Flashlight For Jolla Sailfish OS

Thanks for the offer, Tyler. Unfortunately I don't know much about the translation practices in Qt and I am busy with non-Jolla projects for now. That might change in the future. Source code is not public unfortunately.

You did awesome work there, Attila! I should comment with more detail on your blog. Shortly, I think it could work for using QML for Android/iOS apps, but you will have to know platform specifics and then.. what so big benefit QML gives you? Just property binding and JavaScript? Good stuff, but is it good enough at a cost of the need to create wrappers for pretty much everything solve threading issues you mentioned and messing with platform stuff anyway?

Qt WebView to my understanding is supported on Android since Qt 5.4 or is going to be supported some time soon. That won't work for iOS though indeed, on iOS you have to use standard iOS WebView and then this approach won't work. Except you can probably paint over such WebView, but that gets complicated and brittle.

I did an experiment with implementing iOS Contacts app in QML and.. it is tough http://www.codingsubmarine....

IMHO nowadays you need to be a real big fan of Qt (and probably work on a noncommercial project) to build UI in Qt unless you are creating everything from scratch anyway (e.g. games could be fine). The workarounds in this blog post are possible and will let you use QML, but.. is QML that good to suffer from side effects? IMHO, waiting until proper controls and QtProject-backed extensions is the most sensible way for "just mobile app developers" for now.

What's the problem, Emo?
In general if it looses the schedule (sometimes happens with how app uses the scheduling service) it should help to start app and turn schedule off-on

Indeed, KonaCode, entries 2 and 3 are duplicates, not sure what I actually wanted to be there.. will think. Or will just delete the duplicate line.

Meanwhile I had a look at what happens in Qt Controls for Android. Qt 5.4 will have a pretty good set of controls (with the notable exception of native web view) with the style fetched from the OS. Since that seems to be become a QtProject-supported way, promises good results and there is no native web view anyway yet, I am leaning towards it.

iOS is even more difficult web-wise as non-standard web views are simply prohibited so it seems HTML5 inside QML right now is simply impossible (could be possible when native webview is implemented), so for iOS I started a project for simulating a real app UI in QML already now with the aim of, well, validating QML prototyping capabilities (I would like to open business around it) and of figuring out the bottlenecks in controls styling - http://www.codingsubmarine....

You are certainly welcome to join CuteContacts and to post links to your experiments in the area, I'll add links to this post then.

Yeah, plist setting could be the way indeed!

Text typing could be improved indeed. Okayish for prototyping maybe, but not nearly good for a final app
