It’s oddly fun to look at someone else’s app’s view hierarchy in Xcode.

@brentsimmons It never occurred to me that I could do that to someone else’s app.

@eridius Yah it is. Wish you could do it to iOS apps without jailbreaking.

@brentsimmons That Xcode view is so cool. I always forget it's there. (Unfortunately the Micro.blog view hierarchy isn't too interesting because of the web view.)

@chrislopez Mostly a shortcut to get consistent layout between the platforms, and avoid writing an HTML renderer. Using the JSON Feed with custom cells is potentially better, but as I'm sure you're discovering there are lots of little HTML tag edge cases.

@chrislopez It was always my hope that third-party apps would eventually be better than the official apps. Important to have a good set of choices for people.

While some might think that is a weakness, I believe it was when Twitter was making decisions like that, they were at their best. It’s definitely more important that you focus on the community, availability and the web pipes, that is the backbone of micro.blog.
