Sina Weibo client from "obsessive-compulsive disorder" independent developer

Those who are a bit picky about the product look at the current form of Sina Weibo, may feel: whether the Web version or the client has been miserable, for a "compulsive disorder" and like to brush Weibo independent developers This is more unacceptable-the above is basically the reason for the birth of Vvebo. Vvebo is an iOS 7-style Third-party Sina Weibo client. When you first open it you will find that it is different from all existing microblogging clients, and it is not easy to find the shadow of an existing Third-party microblogging client on Vvebo. A picture wins thousand words, below direct release Vvebo screen. The product logic of obsessive-compulsive disorder from the above screenshot can be seen in the Vvebo of the content of the micro-blog full screen, only one "home" button is obvious. In the words of developer Johnil, as with only one button on the front of the iphone, Vvebo wants to leave a single entry to avoid confusing users. In addition to this instruction, Vvebo's design is similar in other places to borrowing the guidance logic of the iOS system, as mentioned below. Johnil not only verbally claiming to be "obsessive", but actually bringing the "symptom" to the product. For example: micro-Blog link content to display the details: Vvebo will be the content of some well-known web site links to a page should be the main color of the button, these matching work is a johnil one completed. For example, watercress link is green color block, know is blue color block. Micro-Bonnet video playback details: Because most users in the normal situation of mobile phone screen direction control is locked, but after all, watching the video is a horizontal screen state experience better. So Vvebo's approach is: when the user clicks on the micro-bonnet video playback, even if the screen direction has been locked, as long as the rotating mobile phone to the horizontal screen state, the video will still automatically rotate angle. Details of the Bonnedoto view: When a user enters a multiple-image viewing interface, a thumbnail indicator similar to the size of the iOS screen page indicator is shown below. Yes, although that State indicates that the point is already small, it is actually a thumbnail of the corresponding picture. More careful than the screen page indicator on the iOS system, users can slide on the Vvebo picture indicator to preview the picture and achieve a jump to the picture--the preview in the slide preview will be displayed with a circular icon with a Instagram avatar size. This is another place in Vvebo that draws on and elevates the guidance logic of the iOS system, after all, even if your iphone has nine-screen apps, you're not sending an indicator to jump and preview. Micro-Blog Night mode adjustment details: Vvebo in the latest beta version of the added night mode, line spacing, font size, reading mode, such as adjustment functions. When the user switches back and forth during the night mode, the effect of the switch is instantly rendered, including the gradient of the icon. Two words to describe the process is fast, smooth. WeiboDetails of the search feature: When users type search words in the latest beta version of the search box, once the search results are Vvebo, the search box disappears and only displays the search words at the top of the column. Wait until you need two searches and click on the words on the top to call out the search box again. The entire process uses the same number of clicks as other microblogging clients, but it has a larger viewable area. This is a reference to the search box in the Safari browser in iOS. Micro-Bo Send pictures when the details: When using Vvebo to select Pictures to send, the bottom of the picture library selection to display full screen or half screen will vary with the user's sliding strength. The user is forced to slide it will appear in full screen, the force will shrink back to half screen. The entire process was tested on the iphone 5c without the slightest cotton. I even feel that even if you do not send a picture This feature can be played in the boring. In fact, because of the personal use of micro-blogging habits, most of the details are Johnil told me before I found out. My view on these details is that none of them can make a leap in the product experience, but when the details are stacked and used by the user, they build loyalty-a user who is familiar with these details and then switches to other microblogging clients It would feel like the other side is doing a mess. Vvebo started the project in July and submitted the first edition to the App Store by October, with two months of work to solve the problem of fluency. Although this is the case, the Johnil is not satisfied with the submission, and then the next frame is revised into the current version of the post until the end of November. That's why the name of the Vvebo in the App Store now is Vvebo Pro, because Vvebo's name has already been used by the previously submitted version. Dancing in Chains Vvebo due to the restrictions of Sina API policy, Vvebo still does not realize the multiple map send and letters function, for this johnil said that the interface of multiple maps may also apply to, but the letters interface really do not dare to hold too much expectation. Although the micro-blogging policy environment is bad, Johnil still chooses to be the developer who dances in chains. For example, the current Vvebo "micro-bo Time Machine" is to use the existing interface to do the features. Micro Bo Time Machine can be time line or the user's personal page on the micro-blog by the time to split, the user directly clicks the time node can jump to the time to send the microblog. In the future, Johnil, in addition to adding group editing and personal details to Vvebo, is also considering how to make some interesting and fun features like the microblogging time machine through existing interfaces, With johnil words is: I think how in a starting line (referring to the same interface) let Vvebo play business alienation. Of course, behind all the details is not to say that Vvebo is perfect. Due to the superposition of functions, JohNil also felt that vvebo some places needed new forms of interaction, such as the way groups are rendered. If a user has only a few groupings, the current sliding mode is cumbersome when the user has 20 groups. In addition, how to make Vvebo navigation more conducive to the use of ordinary users is also a problem to consider. The future of independent developers? Johnil began learning about iOS development in high school and has no intention of looking for formal work, and is still in a state of independent development. When it comes to charging, Johnil does not feel that adding a multiple account function to the client can be charged. In Johnil's view, the current Vvebo is still not good enough to pay users. In fact, in addition to Vvebo,johnil in the App Store there is another tool class paid application PIIIC, according to Johnil said the sale is good. Talking about future plans, Johnil said that because of their own entertainment applications are not particularly felt, so later will consider the development of tools for paid applications. Although the independent developer's road looks enviable, can arrange the life freely, according to the individuality shape own product--vvebo's egg is replaces the theme color from the blue to a johnil personal very favorite color, but the effort behind and facing the limitation also only then knows the person who has experienced. For example, Johnil had considered updating a picture on the Vvebo launch page every day, but had to eventually give up because he and his girlfriend only maintained and the picture might have copyright problems. So every model is not perfect, if the fortunate to find the right one of course the best. Best wishes to Vvebo getting better. APP Store Download link
