Glide

Devlog 03

Ok, it’s been so long (school takes up too much time). Despite that time, this is a really short devlog.

Updates

We have a mockup for the UI that we want the app to have. Now, the mockup (since AI made it) focuses a bit too much on just tasks, but the app will be a notes app; just wanted to make sure that was clear. These colors aren’t finalized and neither is the UI, but the design is what we think would work best for our app. The mockup is attached as a picture.

Feedback

If you guys have any feedback on the UI or just features you want to see in the app (description of app is in the first devlog), you guys can post comments here or add a suggestion on Github: https://github.com/get-glide/Glide-Mac/discussions/9.

Thanks for reading and have a great day!

Devlog 02

Still the same basic editor as last time, but we are working on UI design right now. We should have a somewhat decided design in a couple of days.

More parsing stuff

Anyway, I got markdown header formatting working in the app (you can’t notice a difference visually, but the app knows whether you want a # or ## header now). Now, the plan is to work on getting inline formatting to work (bold, italics, etc).

Dates and moving tasks to different days

For being able to have a task repeat weekly, the app needs to be aware of the original day that the task was created on. To do this (as you can see in the image), every task gets a @created(yyyy-mm-dd) tag. The other tag you see in the image (@carried) means that task was procrastinated on and got moved to the next day or postponed to some other time.

Side note

Maybe it’s just me, but the git integration in Xcode is confusing. I may or may not have had to redo some code and that is why this devlog has so much time on it. I’ll make sure that my future devlogs aren’t this unproductive when it comes to actually making features.

Thanks for reading my devlog and have an amazing day!!

Devlog 01

What is Glide?

Glide is a Mac note-taking/task planner app built for students. You take notes and create tasks by typing things like “9:00 [] Integral rules homework @daily.” The tasks are then parsed live into a clean, structured timeline. In the future, we want to make an iOS app, add sync, and more features that will help students. Also, I’m making this app with @aarnav_sharma and @harieshkarth.

Why Glide?

Every other note-taking app that we’ve tried is either overwhelming or missing features students (like us) would want. Glide is our attempt to fix that.

What I did in these 90 minutes

Now that you guys have some content on the app. So far, I’ve made a basic window so that I can on the line parsing stuff. The images attached show you what the line parsing (as of right now) is doing.
