Biscuit, the app that returns "beautiful" to Reddit.

Although Reddit is one of the most important communities in the Internet, its aesthetics might lead you to believe otherwise. To fix this problem, an app has been created.

We're talking about Biscuit, an app for iPad that profoundly changes the appearance of this social news website.

Reddit is a platform that allows any person to upload images, share news, or create topics for community debate. Other users can comment and contribute to the topic.

Biscuit transforms all this disorder into something more pleasant to the eyes. Following the minimalist line of Apple's products, it intends to organize all the articles and categories.

A user is reporting a crash, and I cannot see how it could possibly be happening.

The code in question (in frame #18 below) is this:

NSFont *font = [NSFont fontWithName:@"Helvetica Neue" size:13];
// some other code
NSGlyph typicalGlyph = [font glyphWithName:@"e"];

Naming things is hard

So let's work together

Instead of having one controller object that does everything, I've been trying to split things out into various task-focused. This means I have to come up with names for these objects, such as "CoverAnimationDriver", etc. Naming things is hard, so I want your help. Aside from domain-specific bag-of-properties model objects, what nouns have you used in class names? In my experience, these are usually used as a suffix on the class name.

Here's what I've come up with so far:

View
Controller
Manager
Data Source

Imagine that a number line lives on a 2D plane. "Positive" on the number line is in the 0° direction, and "Negative" on the number line is in the 180° direction.

"1" is a vector of length 1, pointing in the direction 0°.

"-3" is a vector of length 3, pointing in the direction 180°.

Multiplication of these vectors can be understood as multiplying the lengths and adding the angle of each vector.

"1 * -3" is a vector of length (1*3 = 3), pointing in the direction (0° + 180° = 180°). In other words, "1 * -3" is a vector of length 3, pointing in the negative direction.
