No support for importing other photos or images (this is deliberate)<\/li>\n<li>Adding support for an RSVP system<\/li>\n<li>Added a widget that displays RSVPs for upcoming shows and checked-in users for the current show. It updates in basically real time, so profile images will appear as people are checking in or RSVP&#8217;ing. Pretty sweet.<\/li>\n<li>Initial work towards supporting all bands in one app (rearranged a bunch of stuff on the server)<\/li>\n<li>Added a Feedback button with my email address and phone number<\/li>\n<li>Added support for when there are no upcoming shows (so the app doesn&#8217;t just crash)<\/li>\n<li>Shows can now have an optional name and description<\/li>\n<li>Integrated MixPanel so I can have analytics<\/li>\n<li>A ton of refactoring, new Service classes, stuff like that. I&#8217;ll do a technical post about this at some point when it&#8217;s more stable.<\/li>\n<li>I spent a bunch of time working on build configuration. I learned how to set up multiple builds and created an AppConfig class that used compiler directives to switch config details depending on build flags. I compiled to TestFlight, which is not a great option for beta testing because Apple wants to approve everything. Then I compiled for HockeyApp, which is a lot easier to build for but harder to add new testers because you have to update the provisioning profile for EVERY SINGLE DEVICE. Basically, beta testing on iOS is a pain in the ass no matter what.<\/li>\n<li>Also set up a Heroku account&#8230; not quite as easy as they make it sound to get an app up and running when it was already configured to work somewhere else!<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Not quite as much raw stuff, in terms of app bullet points. Some of that was because I was working on market research and surveys, and some was because stuff like profile photos, RSVP&#8217;s, and Heroku setup took up to a day each.<\/p>\n<p>In other news, I&#8217;ve been accepted to\u00a0YCombinator&#8217;s Startup School 2016. If I have enough of this app done by then, I may build a special Startup School version and release it before the event.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I had planned on doing these &#8220;git commit&#8221; summaries every week, but I took last Friday off to spend time with my fiancee, so this update&#8217;s going to include everything since my last one!
