NSW

An application for Carleton's New Student Week

Notes on running it:

• Because we're using CocoaPods, you have to open NSW.xcworkspace not NSW.xcodeproj, otherwise the app won't build
• Notifications will occur immediately because you are setting them for events from 2 years ago. If you want to check that they occur at the correct time, you have to manually set the device/emulator's date back to a day between 9-4-2012 and 9-9-2012 in the device settings
• Below is a checklist of everything that was suggested/desired and the ones that are actually functional are checked

Checklist:

• Complete NSWEvent, Contact, and CarlTerm models

• DataSource classes for all of the above

• Functional UI

• Drawer-style navigation with SWRevealController

• Hunt down the evil character(s):trollface: that is(/are) preventing us from decoding the ics file as proper UTF-8😡

  • Was be fixed by loading from local data 👇

• Get all the DataSources to download their network source files (ics, html, json) to local and read from local

  • Reload by checking if "date-modified" (probably not the actual term for that) was 1 day or more before current time

• Get CarlTermDataSource reading from a file (waiting on Web Services to host and agree on data format)

• Flesh out stub classes

• COLORS

• Write tests

• Implement custom UITableViewCell subclass(es) for ContactVC and CarlTermVC

  • Want accordian-style detail view without opening whole new view. (maybe learn from Expandable-Collapsable-TableView?)

• About page

• App icon + splash screen graphic of NSW logo

Suggestions:

• Disable notification button after pressing
• take away arrows from "Carl Speak"
• make events scrollable
• change notification button color when selected
• swipe left and right animation on schedule days
• put arrows on each side of a day's title, so it would look like <- September 10 ->
• Put day of week in title
• change "carl speak" icons
• have an actual splash screen
• display full names in "carl speak"
• be able to go to a day a few days over without having to swipe left or right all the way there (like a little calendar icon on right of navbar)
• constrain date to new student week
• Put some blank space at top of menu close to the height of the navbar
• Make taps in right margin close menu instead of acting on the center view
