July 11, 2017 at 14:28And 9 more tools for developing mobile applications
Continuing the tradition of sharing what we have found, we present a new portion of tools for developing and testing applications that readers might want to add to their arsenal. Today's menu: sounds, animations, voice control, and even whole languages.
Maker on the IFTTT Platform A
free set of tools for creating applets that include several actions and perform operations in more complex schemes than if-then. The solution also provides developers with access to a wide API base of various companies, establishing links with other services. Those who want to popularize their creation can also take advantage of the platform’s networking capabilities - it is easy to submit to an audience of 10 million users.
Glyphish
A collection of diverse sounds for iOS applications in good quality and professional processing. Samples are systematized both by their audio characteristics and by purpose (sounds of an error, a pop-up window, scrolling); In total, the set has 101 types of sounds. According to the creators, the collection fully pays for a one-time payment of $ 25, which is asked for; You can make your own opinion on this matter on the official website, where versions of worse quality are presented for review in online mode.
Eve
For those who want to try something like this, we hasten to inform you that Eve has appeared in the public domain - the programming language + IDE "with a human face." The authors aimed to create a language that takes into account the human factor and provides the programmer with the most comfortable experience. This is achieved through various aspects: from the wording of error messages to the intuitive syntax. The very structure of documents is changing, which for the most part is coherent text, where specifications are interspersed with pieces of code, and the internal navigation system makes it easy to navigate in a narrative. Eve is based on a uniform, consistent system in which each property / value pair is treated as an object called a “record”,
Fuse (UX Markup)
Another alternative for the actual code: a new declarative-reactive XML programming language (this time based on Uno) for creating applications on iOS and Android in real time. The platform is designed to develop interactive modular components. The creators traditionally promise speed and conciseness without sacrificing quality, intuitiveness, and convenient visualization. Among other things, users are offered advanced UI technologies: native platform components, OpenGL and vector graphics, which allow you to create high-quality cross-platform projects with a unified design. The platform is compatible with both Objective-C and Java, so the elements that are created in UX Markup can be designed not only as a standalone project, but also embedded in third-party native applications. Fuse platform code using UX Markup,
Snips Voice Platform
Just Add AI: Snips offers a voice assistant for your project. Creating a customized assistant is carried out in the web console through the use of existing queries and the formation of your own. Then the team on an individual basis helps to deploy on the desired platform (RaspberryPi, Linux, Android). The whole "kitchen" is ultimately located on the device, providing the user with privacy and data security. Now supported by English, French, German, Spanish and Korean, in the future, developers plan to expand this list.
API Tester
Cloud solution for testing the functionality, speed and performance of applications. Features include, but are not limited to: creating HTTP requests, extracting values from responses, checking values, reusing variables at various stages, and writing Javascript logic. According to the developers, the system they created is designed for more complex and dynamic tests than what Postman, beloved by many, offers. The user-friendly interface of the site simplifies and to a certain extent automates the writing of tests, allowing you to save them in addition, so that you can use the results of queries for further work. The results can be shared with the team, in one click generating a link. At the moment, all the functionality is available for free.
SQLify
Compact web tool: quickly convert CSV and JSON files and (just fragments) to SQL in online mode.
Flawless App
A solution for those who do not want to invest in expensive programs for the collaboration of designers and developers of the team. The plugin makes it possible to load mockups, prototypes and other outline designs into the iOS emulator to constantly check what should be with what it turns out and adjust the interface along the way. Designs can be verified both by overlay and visually, placing them on one screen; scaling allows comparisons down to the smallest detail. The cost of the plugin is $ 15 for unlimited operation time.
Lottie
A library with a wide selection of pre-made After Effects animations for Android, iOS, and React Native. Animations are rendered in real-time JSON format, as a result of which it is no more difficult to use them in native applications than simple images, regardless of the platform, and they do not weigh much more. A developer can customize elements according to his own needs, in particular, make them interactive.
