macOS "Things" like interface

[dupree]

Hello everybody

I'm new to Xcode and Cocoa so I need someone pointing me to the right direction.

I try to apply an interface like in Things ( http://www.culturedcode.com/things/ ).
What I need is a list using floating elements and the ability to add additional information to the elements.

Thank you.

That's a very nebulous request. Could you provide more concrete / specific items from "Things" that you'd like to implement. What do you mean by elements? What kind of information are you trying to store?

Thanks.

That entire interface is non-standard: it's all custom code. That's a massive amount of work.

If you look at the screenshot ( http://www.culturedcode.com/styles_2.0/images/screenshot_things_big4.jpg ) you can see a list (right), which doesn't look like a standard list. The elements are floating and you can add additional information like tags, notes etc.

Domainbrain looks very similar http://domainbrainapp.com/images/screen_main.jpg

Yep, it's a load of custom views. You have to write all that yourself. You could use the f-script explorer to confirm...

I didn't know about f-script. I will try using f-script to figure out how it works.
Thank you.
