Warming up the productivity engines by putting some effort into my internal satellite TV app, which now has a new product name to go with. Revamping the janky 2015 ObjC codebase with modern Swift. Still an internal app, however, not one I have plans to distribute

Trialed a few Midjourney-assisted icons but ended up going back to a plain glyph. Just looks better on the tvOS homescreen

Major rewrite of my EPG view today; really struggling with making it look nice, but it works

Still experimenting with displaying information on tvOS; now, I have color-coded genres, at least. Not at all happy with how I denote 'now’, but maybe I just need a ruler at the top with a big line through the entire list

Big line it is

@stroughtonsmith Seems the most obvious. Simple and effective.

What if the currently broadcast item was slightly raised and enlarged? Sort of how the currently selected icon on tvOS works. Might be distracting or hide stuff. Maybe fun as a design mockup to try.

There was some tv guide app I used on Windows about 20 years ago that was excellent. Can’t recall the name right now.
