Thanks for creating it! As for me it was certainly the "people don't have confidence in their success rate". Also was always a bit afraid of recruiter spam.

Here's the link of this month's edition, if anyone wants to give it a go (I finally did!)

I'm an iOS developer with close to ten years experience building apps, some of which have multiple million downloads and are used daily by hundreds of thousands of people. I've worked for large corporations such as BMW and Daimler (Mercedes Benz) as well as digital agencies and early startups. Recently, I was head of product for a sales enablement startup and worked on user interface, architecture and mobile strategy.

I also love designing things and spend a lot of time thinking about UX. Some ideas I posted up:

App Switcher for iOS: https://twitter.com/marcedwards/status/422287961778970624

Convert a screenshot to a PSD: https://github.com/vpdn/MMLayershots

Clickwheel for iOS: https://dribbble.com/shots/1814927-Click-Wheel-iOS

I’ve been working on mobile apps since the dark days of j2me: When SMS were still expensive, a friend and myself developed and sold a mobile app, that would allow people to squash up to 400 characters into a single SMS, instead of the usual 160 characters.

I'm looking for a company that welcomes remote work and has a mission I can relate to (latter is really important to me, the best ideas come in the shower). Companies that I admire from the outside include Stripe, Plangrid and YNAB. If you're also a fan, I think I'd fit right in.

Generally companies do not decide against a product due to the price tag. There's always another, stronger reason.

As far as I can tell, you need to have a degree.

"Who can apply for the EU Blue Card: ...he or she has a German or an accredited foreign or a university degree that is comparable to a German one"

Yeah, but that's just the blue card programme. There are of course more normal ways of immigrating.

Degree is required, but not for IT

Not really. I'm a senior software engineer, without a CS degree, and had my permit declined two times, for the same company. I was going to be the CTO, btw. Government does not allow people without a degree.

Fyi, on iOS you can also just press the power button to snooze.

I am thinking of renting a larger flat that can fit 10-12 people for the weekend. Anyone interested in sharing the flat with me?

We could also run small sessions with flatmates presenting a topic or whatever they're currently working on.

Awesome hack! If anyone wants try it out and play around, here's a demo project: https://github.com/vpdn/SilentPhotoCaptureDemo

It's still early work in progress and I've only tested with a few apps so far. Also test coverage could certainly be better. If you find any issues, feel free to ping me up (@vpdn).

Hi vpdn.

The Podspec seems a little screwy, it's not installing the actually library files, just the PSDWriter classes.

Edit: I notice the pod spec has changed since the tag - maybe you need to tag a new 0.1.1 ?

Edit 2: Using "pod 'MMLayershots' :head" in the pod spec still doesn't work.

Thanks! I think I screwed up the source_files regex in the Podfile. Have pushed a new pull request to the Cocoapods repo, hopefully will be fixed soon.

Update: There's a transitioning period currently ongoing at Cocoapods (migration to Cocoapods Trunk). For now please use the updated podspec in the github repo directly:

pod 'MMLayershots', :podspec => 'https://raw.githubusercontent.com/vpdn/MMLayershots/master/M...

alternatively, use:

pod 'MMLayershots', :git => 'https://github.com/vpdn/MMLayershots.git'

And one of the reasons why I built the library in the first place. Thanks Koen for Framer.js, it's awesome!

Ha only saw it in the readme now :-) Thanks!

The cards are already showing stale information, including Apple's own apps: http://d.pr/v/NuY5. As for background updates, there are some ways around through iOS7 background modes, but the situation could certainly be improved. I agree there should be an Apple provided "AppSwitcher Kit" framework.

Right now though, I have this intuitive belief that when I close an app, it "pauses" and the card I'm seeing is a frozen state of what the screen looked like when I hit the home button.

I don't know if that's how other people perceive it, but it does feel extra-wrong when you hack it to try to convey timely information in the switcher.
