Using web views to accelerate iOS development (Socialcam job post)

1 points by mwseibel ↗ HN
We recently added a popular tab to Socialcam and we were not sure what it should look like. We wanted to get something working and in front of users quickly, and then be able to make changes and test the results. So we used a web view. To integrate with the rest of the app, we added a delegate method to handle location changes. This method detects Socialcam URLs, and dispatches messages to do whatever the URL indicates. Our popular view is an experiment. Once we decide on a final design, we'll probably implement it in Objective-C for speed. But then again... It's working pretty well already!
