Dear Blog,
Another Friday another blog.
App development has been cruising along this week, we have finalized a list of all the suburbs listed in the system, paired with their state and postcode, and simultaneously been working on the suburb and postcode views in the application to be able to take the new lists of data. I am in love with text wrangler, its regex matching searches made editing the thousands of suburbs remarkably simple.
Basicly we will eventually have an array of all the suburbs listed in MotorMouths systems, paired with listed fuel types, postcode and states, this data will be able to be used for users to look up any listed suburb for their particular fuel type via an text search-able list view (a suggestion from Kim).
I spent a few hours making some delightful little icons for the map interface, a small refresh icon that will be used for uses to update fuel prices for the current area of the map they are looking at, and a small crosshair icon that will be used for users to quickly navigate back to their current location from anywhere on the map. Placement of these icons on the map has been of some debate between Dan T and I.
We initially wanted to just have on in the lower left and one in the lower right corner of the map interface, just above the main navigation bar, but because of the convinient location of the google tag in the lower left corner of the map, we can't place them anywhere without looking awkward.
That is it for now, quiet week with a lot of other assessment on.
Until next friday,
Dan T.
