Comment on Three20: Open Source iPhone UI Goodness

Comments

Wow. As an iPhone developer I would like to say that this is huge and I am looking forward to integrating some of these classes into my projects.

Of particular note is TTPhotoViewController which emulates Apple's photo viewer, and which consequently is not available to developers via the SDK. This will save a lot of time.

I am not sure how useful the others are. For instance SDK 3.0 includes a new messaging UI similar to what TTMessageController is trying to achieve.

Also TTNavigationCenter seems a bit iffy. Using URLs to manage instances of UINavigationControllers. The iPhone is a different paradigm than the web so I'm not sure how effective mapping the web's main navigational structure to a less dynamic environment will fare.

Still, I am very excited about TTPhotoViewController. Thanks Joe!

I totally agree! I've been waiting for him to open source TTPhotoViewController for a while now. I've tried to replicate it, but always ended up having weird memory leaks.
