Working on a feature that’s been planned right from the beginning of Leatherbound: customisable accent colours!

Thanks to the early planning (and SwiftUI) the implementation has been very straight forward! Now I’ve just gotta settle on which colours I think work well 🎨

Some more work on the past read edit screen. Simplified the entry form if you only care about the end date instead of both start/end. Coming together! 📚
Pre WWDC feature work on Leatherbound: working towards supporting re-reading. I’ve put this off for a while because my original DB architecture won’t play well with it. But I’ve now got the foundations of the feature in and it came together smoother than expected!
@marcoarment I assume you’ve seen this, but on the off chance you haven’t… looks like the folks at Quad Lock are fans! (Instagram ad)

The one big downside to this migration is that Realm + Sync is NOT free to the developer unlike CloudKit/CoreData

This will *most likely* result in Leatherbound becoming a subscription backed app. This kinda scares me. I loved the simplicity of Leatherbound being a completely obligation free project.

I’m excited to get the new version out really soon! In the meantime, here’s a 📸 of the new tab based layout

Todays work on Leatherbound: reworking the library view to get rid of my janky custom search navigation view. As a bonus also added sort options. Before/after 📸
Spent some time implementing tabs in Leatherbound. I’m not 100% sure I prefer it yet, but it makes other parts of the app more discoverable (and allows for a sidebar menu on iPad) 🤔

Just submitted Leatherbound 1.5.0 to App Review. The headline feature is an oh so trendy “Year In Review” to look back on previous years’ reading stats. It should be hitting the App Store in the coming days 📕📗📘
