Ah, yes! I had it set up like that in the beginning, but turned it off because I wasn't sure what the expected outcome was. Can flip it back and add a "reset" button for the Adjusters. Thanks for the feedback.

Hey, thanks for the feedback. Thought the same thing. I released an update for them a few minutes ago https://github.com/tylergaw/colorme/pull/4

I've been using it on an iPhone 6 and it's better. I still miss and get the horizontal slider from time to time, but feeling better now. What do you think?

I wrote the post. I'll speak to that last part. I commented elsewhere in the thread about this too. I included the part about not knowing for two reasons.

1) I couldn't figure out a way to write an explanation of the bitwise OR operator that was terse enough to not derail the main topic of the article while still making sense. The post isn't a tutorial about bitwise operators, it's about building JS OSX apps. It's a long post, with a lot of concepts. I didn't want to add two or three more paragraphs to explain something that was non-essential to the task at hand.

2) I wanted to show vulnerability in myself. I could have left out the two sentences in question, they were also non-essential to the main topic. But, I knew this post was going to garner attention. I wanted to show–by example–that it’s OK to not know things and to say, "I don't know."

I didn't foresee this much discussion about it, but I think it's good. Look at all the great information about bitwise operators in this thread. There's also a good explanation in the comments on the post. Those comments would not have been made if I chose to leave those two sentences out.

Thanks for reading the post and commenting.

haha, knew I was gonna get called out on that one! That is super interesting and spot on in my case. Would love to see your talk.

When I got to that part of the article I stared researching bitwise operators to try and give a short explanation. I couldn't sum it up well in the voice I wanted to. So I decided to just say, "I don't know, and that's OK." I try to write in a way that's accessible to people that are maybe newer at programming. Maybe without a CS background, like me. With this, I felt like there would likely be so many new concepts, that it would help to leave one out that wasn't essential to building the example.

For my next post I should research and write about bitwise operators.

I also do not know what a linked list or binary tree is, but I'll certainly take the time to learn about them in the future.

Thanks for reading it and commenting.

Yes, you can! Which is totally cool. There is a sample app written in JS that uses Xcode. They have it set up with a main.js file, they use the same ObjC.registerSubclass to create an AppDelegate. Then they have .xib for the interface. You can make the same connections from IB to the JS as you're used to.

If you have an Apple Developer account, you can download the sample project here https://developer.apple.com/wwdc/resources/sample-code It's listed under "JavaScript for Automation Cocoa Application"

I haven't seen anything official, but I think you can. Mavericks introduced Code Signing for applets http://macosxautomation.com/mavericks/codesign/02.html so you can at the very least distribute JS Apps. The first time someone tries to push one up to the app store for review will be interesting.
