CodeBlueReader

Some people commute. I did that for five days a week last year. When you write lines of code at a remote office and also at home, it's difficult to share data between two locations. CodeBlue 6, a desktop application that is available at Mac App Store, is useful. But you may not be able to use it at your office. In fact, last year, I went home and do some homework by using CodeBlue to PDF-print some code snippets and load them with my old iPad almost every week day. That was tiring. Well, I have a better idea. How about developing an iPad app that lets me read CodeBlue 6 data so that I don't have to go home and do homework? So this is it. I now have more time to relax myself after arriving home.

CodeBlue Reader is an iPad-only app that lets you read a code dataset for CodeBlue 6. You can switch groups with a finger tap. The title list recognizes five color levels of importance besides a plain level. If necessary, export the selected code snippet as a text file so that you can share it with other apps.

2. When there are two or more code snippet records for the selected group, there will appear a small picker menu that allows the user to select 'to top' or 'to bottom' such that they can quickly go to the top or the bottom of the list.
3. When the user taps the calendar button next to the scroll picker menu, a new sheet will appear with a title list, which is equivalent to 'Show Code in Dates' with CodeBlue 6. They can list code snippet records with creation dates chronologicallyy.
4. The user can tap the toolbar icon with a download symbol to import a reader file from CodeBlue 6. Please read Page #21 of Quick Guide for more information.
