Using Ionic View

Today I’ve used Ionic’s new feature, Ionic view. This is the first time I’ve used this and it’s fantastic.

The basic idea behind Ionic View is that you build your app, then ‘upload’ it to Ionic’s servers. Once there you download the Ionic View app (which is available for both iOS and Android). Then with you use your Ionic.io log in credentials and Ionic View lists the apps that you’ve uploaded.

Then in the Ionic View mobile app you select the project you want to view, this then downloads the files to your phone to view it.

Ionic View is a great system, makes getting a early working version of your app on a phone so quick and easy.

A new series on learning Ionic from Josh Morony

Josh Morony has just started a new series on learning Ionic. So far part 1 is going through the basics of creating and setting up a Ionic app, but it is an interesting series, because Josh has mainly developed mobile apps using Sencha, which I’ve never used. Seeing how a developer moves from alternative technology to Ionic shows that Ionic is getting some real traction and become a real contender for mobile hybrid apps.

 

First Blog Post Using Desk

Using Desk for the first time. I’ve been a fan of Desk for a while, reading John’s blog and his videos about developing Desk.

So finally I thought I’d pay for the app. And this is my first post using Desk.

A couple of the things I like about Desk is the full screen editing, which forces you just to write. I also like that it links to multiple blogging platforms, there aren’t many apps that link with so many different blogging platforms. So I was really impressed with Desk.
