   that can easily be shared, copied and modified by other developers. Public repositories
   are free to host, private repositories require a paid subscription. GitHub introduced
   the concept of the ‘pull request’ where code changes done in branches by contributors
   can be reviewed and discussed before being merged by the repository owner. [https://github.com/](https://github.com/)
   for non-block-editor issues.
 * [gutenberg-mobile](https://github.com/wordpress-mobile/gutenberg-mobile/issues)
   on GitHub for block editor issues.

   report in GitHub or want to discuss.

## Instructions for Reporting Issues

 * Search the GitHub repository first to see if the bug is a known issue. If you
   verify a known issue, please leave a comment noting the app and device info you
   tested with!
 * For new issues, please follow the template GitHub repository that shows up when
   creating a [new issue](https://github.com/wordpress-mobile/WordPress-iOS/issues/new).
 * Please be aware that a bot will ask for labels but you may not have rights to
   add them. Know that labels will be added by someone on the triage team.
 * Please do not include full Activity Logs which include tokens. Activity Logs 
   can be very helpful for debugging but you should only include them if you have

# 󠀁[WordPress iPhone App Mockup. New But Familiar](https://make.wordpress.org/mobile/2014/10/07/wordpress-iphone-app-mockup-new-but-familiar/)󠁿

I want to thank Aaron for giving me the opportunity to share my thoughts.

I love WordPress. My life changed because of it. It’s part of who i am today.

Looking at the WordPress app for iPhone i felt there is something missing. The simplicity
and freshness of iOSiOS The operating system used on iPhones and iPads. 7.

I created this mockup to highlight my idea and changes to the current WordPress 
iPhone design. My goal was simple. Create something new. Make it look familiar.

[⌊WordPress iPhone app Mockup by Stefanos Kofopoulos⌉⌊WordPress iPhone app Mockup

Current design (left). Mockup design (right). By Stefanos Kofopoulos

Think of it as upgrading from iOS 6 to iOS 7 and then to iOS 8. Simpler. Crisper.
High contrast. Works on all iPhones and screen sizes running iOS 7 or newer.

All items calling for user interaction come with an explanatory icon and legend.
Text can be translated to resonate with international users and complement the icon.
Vice versa too.

In case of text only interactions (eg Settings, Edit) a different color is used.
Strings translations will complement the difference in color and resonate with users
too.

All elements and graphics used are iOS 8 native. Except the Reader and Notifications
icons i created.

## Nav bar

Stays the same. Theme colors apply. The improvements here include:

 * Edit menu moved to left. Where it usually is on iOS 8 table view and lists.

 * New iOS 8 typography.

 * WordPress color (#464646)

## Sites list

Design overhaul based on iOS design language. The improvements here include:

 * Contextual ordered items (icons and typography)

 * iOS 8 like table menu with fav icons for each site

 * Different functions follow same design language (add button)

 * WordPress color (#464646)

## Tap bar

Design overhaul matching WordPress app and iOS design language. The improvements
here include:

 * Theme support matching Nav bar color

 * Clean. High contrast icons with legends

 * Simple. Unified content creation icon. Content can be video, photos, text. Older
   icon implied text only.

I would love to hear your thoughts. Design files are available for everyone. Made
in Sketch 3.1 though.

# 󠀁[Get Involved by Porting Objective C to Swift](https://make.wordpress.org/mobile/2014/09/30/get-involved-by-porting-objective-c-to-swift/)󠁿

Howdy iOSiOS The operating system used on iPhones and iPads. Devs!

If you’re interested in contributing to WordPress for iOS but aren’t quite sure 
where to dive in, one thing to consider is taking an existing Objective C class 
and porting it to Swift.

Its safe to say the iOS community as a whole has been pretty jazzed by the new language,
I’ve certainly been, and the team would like to see Swift used for more things. 
This isn’t limited to new classes, we’d also like to start migrating existing code
written in Objective C.

If you’d like to get your hands dirty with some practical Swift code, here’s your
invitation to dive in. Great candidates to port to Swift are any of the Categories
in the app.

Give us a shout on [#WordPress-Mobile](https://make.wordpress.org/mobile/tag/wordpress-mobile/)
on Freenode, or pingPing The act of sending a very small amount of data to an end
point. Ping is used in computer science to illicit a response from a target server
to test it’s connection. Ping is also a term used by Slack users to @ someone or
send them a direct message (DM). Users might say something along the lines of “Ping
me when the meeting starts.” us on Github. We look forward to hearing from you!
