I'm gonna start testing in 3.0 once the app is RTM so I'll have to see if that bug persists.

I'm going to remove the imageview, textview etc, from the tablecell, and then draw directly into the cell to see if that improves things - I've written tableviews like that before and didn't have this issue... that'll be my first job tomorrow.

I wanted to try that, the app is getting a bit sluggish.

Here's today's build

RapidShare

Twitter is in and it works pretty well, the other tweets button isn't live yet and if you select a cell it takes you to an empty display instead of a UIWebView. But it's cool and I think you'll like it. Everybody is added.

The app is not using the real events feed, so it won't be updated reliably.

Man - it looks SWEET... great work fella!

[LondonAsh]

OK, I've changed the cell to draw itself, and it works perfectly. No blank rows or anything, and way faster. I'll get an update to you at the end of the day (GMT!)

Unintential feature of London Ash being a bad mother fucka.

The twitter tab uses a search function to concatenate feeds instead of polling the feeds directly. This means keith malleys deleted tweets show up even after they're deleted. Woot.

I'm going to try and have some updates for you on my end before I leave for NYC.

I'm just working on pulling the icons back asynchronously... should have something for you in a couple of hours.

I'll send you the icons I'm using right now so you have a scale reference.

Updates

• TweetViewCell now draws itself (all text, icon, border, shaded background) - runs super sweet, with no blank rows or slowdown.
• Displays text as soon as it's loaded, then fetches icons asynchronously and updates the cells when the data arrives.
• Variable sized cells dependent on the amount of text
• Added user name to each cell

Still to do:

• Save the data each time, and reload when the view opens so it doesn't start with a blank screen
• Show some kind of activity monitor while loading
• Handle selections (I think this needs a simple built in web browser to view links in tweets - e.g. Keith's dumps)
• Add some error handling
• Memory leaks
• More comments
• Refresh button
• Update the list when refreshed, or criteria change.
