Hey @internet, @PureWeen and even @davidortinau! How are #XamarinForms things? Does there exist a feature/library that does a "placeholder" image loading? For example, let's say I have a 2MB image on the web and a 10KB image. I would want to load the quick one first... 1/4
This is not if it fails or something, but more the fact that when the app starts, it has a bunch of blank spots. If the internet is not playing nice, it may take 20 seconds to load. But I know I can either generate or load a "thumbnail" much faster and get a better UX... 2/4
I know I can do a load of the image via VM logic, but this might bypass the image caching or something that exists in forms. I know I can also create a fancy new control, but I am thinking what I really want to do is make a new ImageSource type that does all this for me... 3/4
Given a 3 week deadline, I just built a mobile app using #fsharp and #xamarinforms for emergency responders.
I applied techniques I learned from @ScottWlaschin 's book, @debasishg 's book, and @IDesign_inc 's book.

The mobile solution is partitioned into two sub-domains in which each layer (UI, Domain, Data Store) relies on their relative specification library. A specification library exposes business terminology as record or choice types and business policies as function types.
I spent the first 2 days domain-modeling.
I then put together a Project Design document that provided three options for how the application would be developed given the time constraints. These options included advantages and disadvantages for each option.
