VRTUCAR requirements

A lot of people @Shopify would love to use VRTUCAR. Some of them already do so.

The Business-Plan does not cut it, because Shopify does not want to pay for all the trips of the Employees. They want something that can be used as a perk with a fixed price.

For example: pay a monthly fee and provide reduced rates on driving per employee

If you can help with that please contact brittany AT shopify.com.

Nexus 5 pros/cons

Nexus 5 usage report (Jan 2014)

I just switched from iPhone 5 to a Nexus 5 32GB for 399€ from the Google Play Store.

I used the Nexus for about a month now and I am pretty impressed.

It's a lot of phone for the price.

Pros:

i am stupid and lazy, RubyMotion to the rescue!

responding to this conversation on twitter: https://twitter.com/phoet/status/383552370015485952

it would be awesome if the RubyMotion toolchain would help me fail fast when submitting stuff to apple.

i have had several issue when doing this in the past:

  • i used an ad_hoc profile for distrubition (don't know if it's possible to know from the certificate)
  • info_plist entries were empty
  • CFBundleShortVersionString was not set properly
  • Icons and LaunchImages were missing, had a bad format (not PNG) or the wrong resolution
