Re: Which git service suits a LiveCoder best?

As to the ’how’, I planned to move into script-only stacks more anyway, and will also test the Levure framework, and/or Script Tracker. I’m not sure if those two are compatible though? I mean, if I use Levure framework I can’t (needn’t?) use Script Tracker as well, right? Anyway, with the help

iphoneDeviceModel lookup library

Hi guys, This is for those of you who develop for iOS. We all know the challenge of getting the layout right for various iOS screens. ”The notch” (camera area at the top) is especially annoying, since there’s no easy way of knowing if the user’s device has one or not, and how many pixels it is

Status update: I've updated the library with a minor correction (two iPhone 11 versions with notch that weren't included in the script constants). I've also improved the demo stack a lot, so that it now works in the Simulator, if you indicate which device you will simulate, before deploying.
