The section one seems kind of silly since the header is already sticky, but the normal one is quite nice!
It is just for demonstration. My point is that you can do away with the header and still showing useful info for that section with this control.

Maybe something like alternate background color for sections and use the widget to display the section name.

Here's another: http://cocoacontrols.com/platforms/ios/controls/timescroller

(shameless plug alert: I created Cocoa Controls, but not this component)

Cool stuff. Great for people who don't want to mess with Date handling.
Hi aaronbrethorst, I just started with iOS programming. My background is Java and I've been accustomed to leveraging "3d party frameworks/libraries". Is there any website curating such thing for iOS? I believe Cocoa Controls is one of them?
Path really seems to be killing it with new (but acceptable) ui features. The last time I remember such large groups of people just accepting dramatic ui changes without loudly complaining was windows 3.1 > windows 95 start menu.
So true! Their 'pivot' went under-the-radar for most. They really just went from a 'Private Photo Silo' in 1.0 to 'My Digital Journal' in 2.0.
Just out of curiosity, which features are you talking about? I'm only wondering so that I might be able to incorporate them into my own UIs. I did some googling for what you're talking about but couldn't find anything definitive.
Path: "The smart journal that helps you share life with the ones you love."

That tells me a lot.

Why don't they say something like "Trying to be Facebook and/or 4sq alternative with a focus on a/v that only works on mobile and is focussed on location. Really we're not sure of what we are and that's why we called ourselves Path."

I watched the video, is that what it is?

I'm not saying I am an absolutely a fanboy or anything. I'm not. But the innovation they brought to iOS is undeniable. Just like Twitter brought about the pull-to-refresh.

Maybe this scroller widget will be adopted widely, who knows.

Great work! A HTML version would be amazing too.
maybe for mobile web, not on desktop. it doesn't really make sense for big screen.
Very nice! +1 vote from me :D
