Tumblr, I made a thing yesterday that might be of interest to you. It’s called SJNotificationViewController, and it lets you put dead-simple alerts/notifications in your iPhone app. It’s for letting users know that something is happening / has happened (an image is uploading, or there was an error refreshing a timeline, for example) without throwing up a big ol’ UIAlertView that blocks their workflow. Twitterrific uses notifications like this for showing how many new tweets there have been since the last refresh, or when it can’t connect to Twitter.
Above, you can see a video of a notification in action. They slide up from the bottom of whatever view they’re attached to, and then slide back down when you’re done with them. They’re customisable, too — you can set the text, the “level” of notification (red for error, blue for regular messages, and green for success), what happens when the notification is tapped, and whether or not the notification has a spinner to indicate activity. You can learn more about SJNotificationViewController on GitHub.
I don’t know. It’s a thing I made for a thing of my own, and it’s in its infancy, but I thought I’d share it all the same.
