Day 17. stringWithFormat

Last month, I tried to focus on work within short periods of time. Generally, it is 25 minutes or one regular Pomodoro. During this time, I focused entirely on one task. My key motivation is that I don't have much time to be lazy, and I have many tasks that need to be completed. This also applies to my daily report; I try to complete it in around 25 minutes.

What I did:

Today, I implemented a simple element: a text label for display time reading. It wasn't difficult, but at the end of the work, I realized that the formatted string looks very bad on iOS. So, I will try to fix it tomorrow. 
Strange string formatting

Next, I started working on the top comments for the articles. This element isn't a difficult either, but the text received from the API is in the HTML format. Now I need to decide how to display the text. Perhaps I should clean the text to get a plain string, or display it in HTML format, which could cause additional problems for iOS. Also, I'm thinking about how to display the content of the article. Perhaps I should use some web elements to display it, because it has a very complex structure and can contain code blocks and images.

What I will do:

  • Add Detekt(a static code analysis tool) to the project.
  • Update README file with description of project.
  • Create a GitHub project to manage the tasks for future collaboration.

If you want to join the project, just leave a comment here, or write a message in LinkedIn.

What help I'm looking for:

Designer (create design of application in Figma)
Android/KMM developer
Any other help related to the project.
