Image Annotation App Status

Image Annotation App has been updated many times since it was first released in June 2015. Most importantly it has drastically improved efficiency and smoothness in drawing.
App now uses OpenGL library for efficient drawing and uses technique mentioned in Krzysztof Zabłocki' blog (without using Cocos 2D) to draw smooth lines. Performance and smoothness is now comparable with best of IOS drawing apps Paper by 53.

What next?
I am thinking of adding some help content. Most probably some onboarding screens and random tips. Probably will add some functionality to automatically identify objects in the app.

Also, thinking of creating separate drawing application which will use same underlying drawing code.

P.S:
My sincere thanks to Krunal Dave and Panther Studio for providing graphics/creatives for this app. Also I am thankful to them for allowing me to use their apple developer account. This app is hosted under their account only.

“Image Annotation” live on AppStore

The application “Image Annotation” is live on AppStore now. The application aides users to mark or highlight things on images. Users can highlight object in picture or photo using shapes and quick sketches. It should serve as a handy tool to communicate things in a fewer or no words.

It is a universal application, i.e. it will run in iPhone, iPod touch and iPad in native resolutions.

Another important thing about this is that almost entire application is developed by Sagar Nandha, during his final semester internship with me. The application is professional quality and I am sure users will enjoy using it. 

Cheers…

Beginning after a long pause

It has been more then 5 years since I have reserved this subdomain and named this blog. Finally I am posting the first post in this blog. Intention of this blog is to cover technical things, primarily software programming. Also it will cover my opinion on software platforms, tools, applications, gadgets etc.

As time goes by, technologies are changing and evolving radically. It is going to provide new challenges and opportunities. With my limited knowledge and slow pace, I often find it difficult to keep pace. Writing this blog should give me inspiration to put more efforts and keep clarity of thoughts.

I will try to put good quality content and improve it further over a period of time. Hopefully readers will find experience of reading this blog both enjoying and informative.

Thank you very much for reading this very first post of this blog.
