pixelino's Issues

Integrate Color Picker Tool in Toolbar

Add cancel button option to color picker screen

It would be great if we (additionally to the swiping down gesture) could add a "v" button (arrowhead pointing down) to the top of the color picker view to clear up any UI-related confusion.

Make panning around a canvas only possible to a certain limit

Currently, you can pan around the canvas as much as you want. Technically, you could move around the canvas in such a way that it completely leaves your visible screen.

UI Improvements

This is a list including all UI-related tasks that need to be fixed up before a release:

• Create an app icon #38
• Customised launchscreen
• Custom animation when returning to main menu #36
• Share screen redesign
• Cells in Main Menu Tableview stay white (?) after selecting them.

User can create custom size of canvas

Proposal: The user can initialize canvases with different types of sizes (currently we only support 50 x 50 pixel iirc?).

Add Pikko color picker

Zooming not based on origin of pinching gesture

We create scaling actions based on the pinching gesture, but we do not take into account where exactly the pinch gesture is done. However, this is very important, because it's possible to "lose your canvas" if you start zooming out at the edge of the canvas.

Pixel outlines vanish when zoomed in

Custom animation when returning to main menu

It would be great if we had a nice animation or custom table view reload animation when going back to the main menu screen :)

remember last position of color wheel

Canvas is "properly" zoomed out/in after loading a drawing

Currently, the canvas viewpoint is zoomed in very, very closely to the drawing. It would be better if the canvas started out with the entire drawing filling out (and being visible on) the screen.

App icon missing

User can delete existing drawings

Small row of white color seen in exported images

Problem: When saving an image to Photos that has a dark background, a very small white row of color can be seen on the top.

Image: (This is a screenshot of the exported image on a dark background, otherwise it wouldn't be visible at all.)

Export image

Add Travis CI

Missing: README

• Add app store description

• Add app store link & download on app store badge

• Add github tags

UI: Fan out menu for selection of drawing tool

Only show reused colors in color history once

Saved image/thumbnail blurry

Assumption: Due to the small size the of exported images (Most of them are just 20px x 20 px!) both thumbnails as well as exported images tend to look blurry and produce color-artefacts.

Disable infinite zooming in & zooming out

Accidentally drawing when zooming

The user can sometimes accidentally start drawing and zooming at the same time, which happens when they put one finger, slide it a bit, and then put their second finger on the screen to create the zooming.

exported drawing is rotated 90 degree clock wise

Add progress loop when user shares image to photos

This operation is heavy and requires time, therefore it would be great if we could show a progress bar when we're exporting the image.

Only reload Main Menu if needed

Drawing not refreshed

If the user clicks on a drawing, draws something, and then returns without saving, if they select the same drawings again, it shows the modified image as opposed to resetting the image to its initial state.

Add color history bar to Color Picker Tab

Add layer feature

It would be amazing to have a layer feature. For minimum functionally, being able to add layers, clear them, and delete them, should be enough 🤗

Bucket fill tool

A bucket fill tool would be great when working with bigger areas that need to have the same color.

User can enter/select name of new drawing

Main Menu for new project / loading projects

Move ColorHistory entirely to CoreData

Pipette Tool

Idea: Integration of pipette tool to pick up previously used colors more easily than over the color-picker menu.

• Pipette Tool triggered via double tap. A little circle appears that shows current underlying color, which can then be dragged around. Circle continuously updating to show the current underlying color as its being dragged around.

• Color-picker menu icon should be adjusted to always show the currently selected color in a little circle.

Update color on Pipette tool after user dismisses picker view

undo/redo functionality

canvas turns around when moving from portraitUpsideDown mode

Duplicate canvas

Export current canvas to .png and save to phone

Screen flips around while switching fingers during zoom

"Remember" saved images & don't save them again

Add saturation slider to Color picker OR rewrite color picker

Save current Canvas Status

Refactor Share Screen to static TableView

add saturation adjust option to color picker
