Paper is possibly one of the best, or the best application published by Facebook. As we saw in our testing, the application is amazing in all its aspects and the interface and animations are at a high level. Now, POP, the animation engine used by Paper is published as Open Source.

On the website of Facebook code can read more about this engine that essentially, enables new options for animation versus Core Animation. So thanks to spring, decay and custom, the three new animations that offer POP, developers can improve the animation of their apps. 

If you start working with it we would like to know how you aprovecháis. So, to write code!

Update Facebook Messenger for iPhone. Improvements for sharing photos and videos

Add to Flipboard Magazine.

Messenger, the mobile messaging client Facebook for our iPhone, has been updated to version 5 by solving one of its biggest problems: the interface to attach content to the message. Now, Facebook has placed much easier carrying gallery photos, stickers and even the camera to the same area of writing messages.

The new interface for attaching photos and videos saves us navigate many menus and panels

Another novelty is that we can now send videos that are stored on our reel, and also improved the contact tab to search our list of friends.

The interface of the talks remains the same, by Facebook's plans to wean your messaging completely from your main application. I do not know if this strategy is the right one, but I have to say that Facebook Messenger has become one of my favorite messaging client for my iPhone.
