"Clear" Possible in Corona? (Note-Taking App)

Solar2D General Questions/Discussion
#1

Hey - I’m a relative-enough Corona-Newb (2 Months as of now) 

I was wondering if something like "Clear’ - The not taking app would be easily done in corona? Doesnt exactly have to have all the fancy gestures?

For those of you who havent seen Clear:

Also didnt want to start a new topic, - Are RSS feed reader apps possible with corona?

Hi @jack761,

I think this is definitely possible in Corona… and with some extra effort, the “fancy gestures” too.

Cheers Brent! I was brainstorming how to start this yesterday, I dont know how to implement it, I tried doing this with a list format, Doesnt really work with the required gestures or physics! Its a toughie!

Hi @jack761,

For this, physics certainly isn’t necessary. :slight_smile: But for the fancy gestures (especially the “pinch” to group/compress list rows), it will take some fairly advanced handling of multitouch. That being said, one of the coolest 3rd-party modules I’ve seen is the following by Corona ambassador Matt Webster. Check it out and see all that you can do with it…

Ah cheers @brent 

As for physics I have going to have it so when you make a new note, It effects notes above it by collisions - And then puts them back to there positions, Kind of like it slightly bumped the other notes :)
