Apart from realizing there was another app named Pic Quote, I realized when said in my local dialect, it means… something.
So after work in the cab, I quickly made some minor edits, including changing the aspect ratio of the image to something that displays better on the twitter without having to expand the image.
One thing that I realized though was that the picture ended up being a bit pixelated on the PC. Will have to fix that on the next update.
Another change i did was update the background behavior. I’ve placed a translucent quote image and made the background color the same as the current phone accent color. I’m assuming that the user would set their favorite color (or the color of the day/event) as their theme accents, so why not use that as the background for the image as well.
Still exploring some other options to make the UI for this app better. I had originally of having text input in a separate dialog box, but then that would be too many clicks.
All in all, I’m finding this process really productive, doing a little bit at a time and publishing to the store. It also really helps that the update process is quite quick, at least for the changes that I’ve made so far.
Stay tuned! ^_^ another update is on the way
