Thank you! After months of slowly building and perfecting the iPhone app it feels great to finally be able to share it with everyone.
Congratulations! What was the hardest and/or most rewarding part?

I am assuming you abandoned most of stock UIKit and built custom implementations.

Thanks!

Hardest and most rewarding was all the serious engineering we did to make the app and gestures fun and fast. Most of the components in the app are custom, from the navigation controller to the story menu down to the scroll physics. Aria just answered this Quora question that goes into some of the details.
