#ios development

Nobody warned me how many zines I’d end up making after adding a weekly zine export to my little puzzle game 😳

Day 95 consisted of another milestone and the seventh consolidation day, reviewing what I learned, key points, and a challenge to build another complete app from scratch by ourselves:

Key points:

Functional programming

Result

Challenge: Build an app that helps users roll dice then store the results they had. At the very least you should let users roll dice, and also let them see results from previous rolls:

This is as far as I got. It's a skeleton, but I plan to expand on it much further in the future and make it a portfolio project.

A better inclusive and accessible design

Apple has always focused on providing a great experience, from the presentations to what it proposes for the developers. On the second day of the WWDC21 event, a theme that keeps coming back is the importance of a more inclusive and accessible design on all of the different application scopes.

It can even be seen in the language that we use and look for reference, respecting different perspectives, adopting more accessibility features, making our design more inclusive, especially in the area of ​​content that includes writing, images, audio, video, it can be seen everywhere... everything we use to "talk" to our audience. 🗣🗣🗣

Despite being a topic of great importance, my main concern is that it makes us wonder if our products are in fact meeting these expectations as much as possible. ❤️

Below you can see the two sessions that talk more about it.

Bringing more accessibility features ✅

Dynamic type is not new. It's something that has been around since iOS 7, but its adoption by apps has been somewhat slow. Since iOS 11, Apple has been making significant improvements to the feature that should lead to wide-scale adoption.

Getting a little more technical... ⚙️🛠 Dynamic type supports up to seven size settings, but that's not the limit, for example, the body text style is 17pt in the default setting, but can range from 14pt to 23pt, and we can, in extreme cases count with the accessibility setting that supports even larger fonts up to 53pt for body text.

My mother ❤️is a great example of someone that is heavily dependent on this particular feature. Communication and social networking apps that have a lot of content in a very small screen real estate (iPhone screen) can take advantage of this and avoid losing any content due to the lack of space.

Does Tumblr handle Dynamic Type?

Tumblr allows us to share many different types of media in a single post. That makes the content super cool and unique, however, posts that have a lot of "regular" sized text, despite having good contrast (✨bonus points for Tumblr here!✨) still, readability can be compromised when compared to a wider range of users.

To make our vision even more inclusive when developing our apps, it's necessary to start by making the design process more inclusive as well. I'm sure this will affect the design and implementation of a good application. 📱

Look at my adorable magic “ate” ball!

Digital marketing isn’t about technology but sociology and psychology because it is all about “what people think” and “what people want”. The main objective of an advertising company is to read the mindset of society and present the awareness that how one can promote its product and boost sales.
