Developing Yippy

Contributions

All contributions are welcome, whether they are pull requests, bug reports, feature requests or general feedback.

Project Structure

There are 3 different schemes:

• Yippy
• Yippy Beta
• Yippy XCTest

Yippy is used for running and archiving a production build of Yippy. Yippy Beta is used for development and archiving a beta release. Yippy XCTest is used exclusively for running the unit and UI tests.

Using create-installer.sh

First install create-dmg. Then place X.app in the same folder as create-installer.sh. Execute script:

./create-installer.sh X

You will find the installer disk image X.dmg in the same folder.

TODO

• Support more types of pasteboard items
• Allow setting preferences for keyboard shortcuts
  • Customize toggle hotkey
• Automatic updates (maybe use Sparkle?)
• Create a bug reporter, if places in code are reached that should not be possible create a unique error and a prompt to report the bug.
• Don’t let any of the app be used until access is granted
• Toggle for attributed text
• Launch at login
• Convert history storage to storing each piece of data into a file organised by directory of indexes
• Favourites
• Search (https://github.com/krisk/fuse-swift)
• Max history length
• Cell height cache improvements. Will improve window size changes and launch time.
  • Find a cheap way to clear the cell height cache
  • Store cell heights on disk
