    Picture-in-Picture from the YouTube App

    Posted: 31 Jan 2021 11:25 AM PST

    Hey guys,

    Just wanted to share an app I wrote called PiP-it that lets you Picture in Picture straight from the YouTube app on iOS 14 and iPadOS 14. Sadly, YouTube blocks pip in the native app and you have to either use Safari or pay for YouTube Premium. I've priced the app at just $1.99 USD and there's a free 3-day trial so can try it before you buy it. Let me know what you think!

    https://apps.apple.com/gb/app/pip-it-picture-in-picture/id1513646283

    Please note: if you don't see the share sheet right away, please restart your iPhone. Seems to be an iOS 14 bug.

    Fluids & Sounds for iOS | free for limited time

    Posted: 31 Jan 2021 01:14 PM PST

    Hello dear Apple community!

    I just want to share my app Fluids & Sounds simulation with you. It's a Fluid Simulation with realtime generated sounds. Currently it's free, without ads or IAP on iOS - so just get a yourself a cup of tee, watch some of those magic fluids and relax. Hope you'll enjoy and have fun with this app.

    You can find it here: https://apps.apple.com/us/app/fluids-sounds-simulation/id1532653221

    Has anyone tried it on iOS 12.1? Yesterday one person reported it's not working properly on a iPad Pro device which is running iOS 12.1. Never heard of this problem before, and the app is in the AppStore since November 2020.

    Just released my second indie app, Oolong. A budget with an emphasis on the future and a tool that can help you plan big purchases (like a shiny new Apple product ��)!

    Posted: 31 Jan 2021 06:06 AM PST

    Download: https://apps.apple.com/app/oolong/id1549289924


    I'm building Oolong in parallel with my first app, GRAPHIITE. And while I started programming both at the start of the pandemic, Oolong is the product and evolution of my budget spreadsheets and Python/R scripts over the last decade...

    What is Oolong? Why should you care?

    • Build a budget in minutes, instead of hours
    • Plan and make big purchases (like a new M1 machine 💻) with confidence
    • Figure out how much money you can set aside

    What's more, the app is:

    • Free
    • Accountless (no login required)
    • Privacy First (no ads, tracking, servers, etc.)

    Some screenshots:


    Hope you give Oolong a try! I've been having a lot of fun building this app... And I'm looking forward to updating GRAPHIITE over the next couple of weeks with what I've learned on this one~

    I'll be in the comments all day... happy to talk about feature requests, Swift/SwiftUI, the history of Oolong, GRAPHIITE, coming to iOS from Python, whatever!

    Introducing Chain - The Productive Social Media, an iOS App to Form and Share Habits. Let's create a habit-forming community like no other.

    Posted: 31 Jan 2021 07:45 AM PST

    Hi,

    I'm a high-school student that has often struggled in creating and maintaining good habits. The year 2020 is the year I finally tried to change for the better. After years of wasting time, neglecting myself, and going astray, I had to change. I had no idea what to implement or where to start. I just drafted some habits that I was interested in: reading, exercising, programming, and bettering my relationships. Doing these things was no easy feat, but at the end of year, I was in a much better place. I had read 12+ books, went on jogs regularly, talked more to my friends (although through calls), and released my first app. So, how?

    Belief is easier when it occurs within a community. There's something really powerful about groups and shared experiences. People might be skeptical about their ability to change if they're by themselves, but a group will convince them to suspend disbelief. A community creates belief."

    - The Power of Habit, Charles Duhigg

    What helped me the most was accountability, support, and community. I would tell my friends about my "bad day" and they would pick me up. I would ask my dad to go on a run with me. I would check in with my friends, who were also running. I would get inspired by subreddits dealing with the habit. People sharing. People forming their own habits.

    I wanted to build an app just for this: an app to form and share habits. A community of people forming habits. I started learning the iOS development (if you want to know a little bit more about how, leave a comment). I started spending hours each day building, debugging, revising. After a year, I finished. I can proudly say that my app has come to life.

    I built Chain - The Productive Social Media, an app to form & share your habits. It works pretty simply. You form a habit, post it publicly, and track your progress. You can interact through following users, commenting, and liking and saving posts. Be addicted to becoming the best version of yourself. I think the technology sector has to reinvent itself from being tons of corporations preying on your data to developers trying to better the world because that's how it started. This is my way of stepping in that direction.

    This year, you can start achieving your habit goals with people around you to encourage and motivate you to climb the mountain. Here is the App Store Link. Good luck and i'm rooting for you! The app is far from perfect, but i'm getting there, please stay with me. If you have any suggestions, comments, concerns, or feedback, please send me a PM. I might be a little bit slow as i'm just one high-schooler working on this, but I'm giving this app everything I got.

    Screenshots

    Thanks. You can do this. Send me a PM if you download/like the app, it means a lot.

    [Self Promotion Sunday] I made PastePal 2 a native universal pasteboard manager for Mac, iPhone and iPad

    Posted: 31 Jan 2021 06:03 AM PST

    Hi Apple family, it's Khoa here, a long-time open-sourcer and tech writer 👋 Lately, I've been crafting this fantastic app PastePal that I'm thrilled to share with you today.

    As someone who uses Mac, iPhone, and iPad a lot. I constantly find the need to organize my pasteboard and have it accessible across devices in a beautiful and convenient way. Plus I have dozen of data like Slack messages, JIRA tickets, token keys, color codes, and links that I want to organize the best way so I can access later. When I heard that my colleagues have the same problem and can't find the best solution, it itches me to solve this.

    🏄‍♂️ PastePal is the best universal clipboard manager for Mac, iPhone, and iPad.

    I've spent months tweaking the design and feature to bring the most satisfying experience when it comes to copy and paste. I also try to bring the same grid view experience from Mac to iPad. On iPhone, I aim for simplicity while honoring pasteboard privacy on iOS 14+

    🎖 UNIVERSAL PURCHASE

    The app is universal and you can turn on iCloud Sync across devices. Everything is under your control. You can turn on automatic pasteboard watching on Mac, set up custom rules and collections. On iOS, no automatic pasteboard observation to preserve iOS 14 privacy policy, but you can manually insert more text and links into PastePal history.

    🥇 CONVENIENT AND POWERFUL

    On Mac, there is a flexible bar that can float in any direction you want. If you need more advanced features like search, filter, and settings. Click the maximize button to enter the main view mode with a beautiful grid view.

    🏅 UNIVERSAL CLIPBOARD

    If you enable Handoff for your devices, PastePal will take advantage of the Universal clipboard and you can access your pasted items faster. Plus, you can easily Share with context menu from PastePal item.

    Thanks for checking it out. There is more to be done and looking forward to your feedback. Visit PastePal at https://onmyway133.com/pastepal, Twitter https://twitter.com/pastepalapp and Product Hunt https://www.producthunt.com/posts/pastepal-2-0 to find out more ❤️

    [SPS] The Alpha for my new app, Keyminder is in TestFlight.

    Posted: 31 Jan 2021 06:46 AM PST

    Hi /r/apple

    In my spare time I have been working on a small app to help track when developer keys and passwords are due to expire and remind me before it does, which saw the birth of Keyminder

    Even though the concept is quite niche, I thought I would challenge myself to build something I would be happy to have in the App Store.

    Currently I have an early alpha in TestFlight which is publicly accessible for anyone to try.

    This alpha version allows for creation of key reminders and will notify if notifications have been enabled.

    Planned features before 1.0 release:

    • Set the time for individual reminder notifications
    • Allow for reminders to be set to countdown per day
    • Limit days when reminders will happen
    • Categorise keys/passwords

    I believe in Apple's philosophy in privacy. There is no communication with any server and there will not be ads in the app. Currently the values of passwords/keys cannot be stored, I'm not even sure I will have that in place unless it is heavily requested.

    Feedback is always welcomed!

    JotterPad - WYSIWYG Novel & Screenplay editor for the New Generation

    Posted: 31 Jan 2021 06:53 AM PST

    Hi all! I am the developer of JotterPad. Lately, we've been thinking how the Markdown/Fountain editor in the future will look like. Presently, most Markdown editor displays texts with syntax highlighting capability. While it is easy to write basic syntax such as **bold**, *italic* and etc, some syntaxes are hard to write. For example, table, link and image. Also, the text is quite illegible even with syntax highlighting. What if we can write in syntax and it automatically converts to rich text? And for more complex syntax such as table, user can use an interface to insert table rows and columns.

    With that in mind, we started building a WYSIWYG Markdown and Fountain editor in JotterPad that is compatible on all platforms with cloud sync. With JotterPad you get the best of both worlds. You can either type in Markdown/Fountain syntax convert to rich text easily with a return key or highlight and format text just like in a word processor. Once the file is saved, it automatically converts from rich text to Markdown/Fountain file. This is the hard part as most of the "Markdown" and "Fountain" editors saved to either proprietary format or database.

    Some of the features include:

    • iOS, Mac, Android, PWA (Progressive Web app)
    • Sync to cloud (Gdrive, iCloud, Dropbox, MS OneDrive)
    • Switch between WYSIWYG and Markdown mode
    • Publish/draft blog posts (Ghost, Tumblr, Wordpress)
    • Unsplash integration
    • Open .md, .fountain file. Export to PDF, FDX and DOCX.

    We would love to hear what you think of it. Feel free to drop us a comment below!

    P.S. For anyone who wants to try the app, feel free to ask me for promo code in the comment section. I will consolidate and PM you the promo code by Monday.
