Great work on this! If you're looking for small things to fix,
here is one: can the default computations that come with the app
not have errors as the top two computations (or maybe not have
errors at all in the saved computations)?
Hmm. That was deliberate so that people would see what errors looked
like, but maybe that's not important.
I figured, but I could also see it be a little unnerving to see that the
top two computations were "mistakes", when it looked like there should
have been a library of cool computations I could modify.
This is a bigger issue: when I type in a computation, I'm in the
full screen mode (i.e., the one computation is taking the full
screen, with its output. How do I stay in that mode when I submit
the computation? All I see is the Done button, which takes me back
to the index listing. I then have to click on the computation
again to examine the output. It'd be great if I could stay in that
single-computation full screen, and maybe just have a "+" button to
make a new computation, which would clear the screen and let me
input another computation. The only time I would go back to the
index screen is to look at the history of computations.
That's a good point. I'll see if I can fix that. I wasn't sure how
to do that many things in the interface, but there has to be a way.
Great! I hope it's not hard, but I have no idea.
Also: is it easy to make an ipad version? I don't know how easy it
is to scale up from an ipod version.
I don't know. I haven't really looked into that yet. I think mostly
it's a matter of creating the interface. The "problem" is that the
interface is so spartan right now I'm not sure how to "fill up" an
iPad without looking silly. :-) It's definitely on my list of things
to think about though. I'm also not familiar with what other iPad
applications do since I don't have one.
The Sage output would fill up the ipad just fine in the single-cell
screen. Just a plain textbox at the top and leave all the rest of the
room for the command output. We could spice it up later, but that
itself would make it much more usable on the ipad. As for the index,
just showing more index entries would be great.
