After Effects, Flash if you're desperate.


Apple made the Google maps app.


My approach is to leave it to the device manufacturer/user and only use % based font sizing. CSS wise, for layout I then rely on % for horizontal spacing/positioning and em's for the verticals, which act as a kind of "em = line" system. Even though an em is rarely a line is a baseline sense, it makes cross-device design a lot more painless leaving the base unit to the device itself.


What you need to do is use a 'touchUpInside' event, there are a couple wwdc preso's that cover it. Basically you compare coords of a touchend event to the coords of the target. Touchend events fire instantly so you dont have to worry about the 300ms click delay. Dug this out of some old code, wont work out of the box but you get the gist. https://gist.github.com/3067704


Hard to tell if I'm biased or if this new format is as boring as it seems. Will have to try again tomorrow. Got about 10 minutes in tonight.


It's almost strange how bad it is. Really under appreciated db.


Ahhh great! I've been rolling my own as I go, but this will save a lot of time and effort.


Should make for some good bridge FU on hypercritical this week...


This is excellent! I really feel some of this sticking in my memory for once. Thanks.


Doesn't event.preventDefault() cater to this case?


That's kind of what I was referring to, likewise with Eclipse. Textmate has always been the polar opposite of whatever that feeling is.


Actually when I first tried TextMate, in the low 1.x versions, it felt like watching the grass grow between each character press and the glyph appearing on screen.

Probably a multi-ms delay due to regexes for syntax highlighting.

And TextMate is not designed like a standard OS X app, either.
