Spotify Looper: Day 52

Debugging. I’m having to systematically work through each view to see if it’s working correctly. It’s a pain, but at least it helps to see a clear path forward!

Currently: Track detail view:

• fix non-updating track name
• fix track duration
  • forgot to update trackPosition duration in the spotify object
• Play/pause button is slow to update (seems to only trigger on timer ticks)
  • future update
• fix non-loading of track details if paused when launched (but a track is still available)
  • it’s just a slow start (maybe the 4 second polling)
  • Add in a loading screen/message

MinimapView:

• position handle is not draggable
  • because it’s bound to spotify.trackposition directly, which is a published property, not a state variable. Any updated properties on spotify should cause the view to be redrawn, so if I set the trackPosition using onAppear() in the view, it should be ok.
    • I had to use onChange(of:perform) rather than onAppear()
• seeking using the position handle works, but needs debouncing, otherwise it’ll jump back to the previously updated position before the seek closure is complete
  • future update

ScrollInPlayView:

• creates LOADS of spotify instances!
  • fixed: spotify objects weren’t environment objects!
• the playhead and sections don’t align on the correct position. Zooming 8offset makes it worse
  • possible fix: segmentViews were hard-coded to 206000ms. Build and run to test (waiting on xcode update)—Yes
• looper middle section should allow movement
  • future update
• on high zoom settings, the playhead jumps quite significantly. Can we animate?
  • future update
• Loop controls aren’t quite right—doesn’t turn on loop without toggling play/pause

Mandy feedback

• long titles text wrap (scroll, or clever truncate)
  • plus add margin to text view
• loop/section/bar labels look like buttons
  • not aligned properly with magnifier view
• scroll minimapview
• make transport controls bigger
• minimap height isn’t the same as magnifier view
• minimapview add rounded corners
• make logout button
• pinch to zoom doesn’t work properly
• disable rotation
• minimap jumps when scrolling magnifier view quickly

ipad/macos builds are weird—disable for v1 then fix for 1.1
