I launched an iPhone app yesterday, and all I got were some stupid lessons

Congratulations, it looks like you're on your way to escaping from developer obscurity :) I really like the clean spare design of your calendar app. Great job on the promotional page and video, it looks very professional. However, when I watched the video I had a bit of difficulty understanding the number of steps required to set the background color for each list item. Very sharp looking, though, I like it.

Watching him set the color for every chunk of an item was really painful. It looked like 1) not a simple or intuitive action and 2) really repetitive and boring.

I imagine it's a case of being slightly blind to one's own features. There's not a single case in the video where sets multiple colors for an item, so it seems like an oversight, probably due to the underlying implementation. Definitely a problem worth solving.

Oh yeah, it hurts. Like I mentioned in my reply to the parent, totally embarrassed by it and have already built a fix for the issue in v1.0.2, coming in a week or two.

Thanks! Everyday I'm hustlin'.

That pattern of setting background colors for multiple blocks is by far the most embarrassing part of this whole launch experience, and I've already built a fix that'll kill all those ridiculous repetitive actions for 1.0.2.
