twitterttl's Introduction

Project 3 - TwitterTTL

TwitterTTL is a basic twitter app to read and compose tweets from the Twitter API.

Time spent: 18 hours spent in total

User Stories

The following required functionality is completed:

User can sign in using OAuth login flow.
User can view last 20 tweets from their home timeline.
The current signed in user will be persisted across restarts.
In the home timeline, user can view tweet with the user profile picture, username, tweet text, and timestamp. In other words, design the custom cell with the proper Auto Layout settings. You will also need to augment the model classes.
User can pull to refresh.
User can compose a new tweet by tapping on a compose button.
User can tap on a tweet to view it, with controls to retweet, favorite, and reply.

The following optional features are implemented:

When composing, you should have a countdown in the upper right for the tweet limit.
After creating a new tweet, a user should be able to view it in the timeline immediately without refetching the timeline from the network.
Retweeting and favoriting should increment the retweet and favorite count.
User should be able to unretweet and unfavorite and should decrement the retweet and favorite count.
Replies should be prefixed with the username and the reply_id should be set when posting the tweet,
User can load more tweets once they reach the bottom of the feed using infinite loading similar to the actual Twitter client.

The following additional features are implemented:

List anything else that you can get done to improve the app functionality!

Please list two areas of the assignment you'd like to discuss further with your peers during the next class (examples include better ways to implement something, how to extend your app in certain ways, etc):

[Assignment 3] Review

👍 Great work with implementing most of the optional requirements 🍡. The point of this homework was to explore a simple example of a full MVC application with a RESTful API.

Grading Summary

Functionality: Excellent
Code Style: Good
Visual Design: Good

Overall: Good

Detailed Notes

Nice work specifying the Auto Layout constraints.
Note that you should try handling the conditionally present retweet label in the cells. This is a situation where it's not possible to specify the behavior by only the Interface Builder.
Nice work setting up the controls within the Tweet cells. It can sometimes be hard to have a clean design for embedded controls because it usually involves cumbersome plumbing. This is an instance where I think having the model handle the network action helps greatly simplify the implementation.
Nice work handling the post tweet insertion into the feed. In real MVC apps, the more polished experiences have to do a certain amount of local object management to make a fully seamless experience.
Your app will be more friendly if you show the error when cannot post a new tweet or reply.
