This continues my previous post on building a Mac style menu for iOS.
In this post I’m going to walk you through all the other details that make this work.
Navigating with Touch
I’ve talked about how to make the menu look good, let’s talk about making it feel good.
I started by looking at how you interacted with the Mac menu.
Click it to bring up a menu, then hover over the selections with your cursor
Click-and-drag on the menu title to open and select an item when you release your click
I decided that the way to translate these to touch was to support two analogous methods of interaction.
Tap the menu to open it, then tap to select an item
Drag on the menu to open it and select an item in a single gesture

I feel like this has been the latent subtext underneath a lot of rough discussions I've had with PMs & designers

Codea is our iPad app for creative coding. I’ve been developing a universal version for some time.
It’s hard to take a complicated, eight-year-old iPad coding environment and bring it to iPhone. There’s so many damn features that need to work in so many damn configurations.
Autolayout takes care of many of these issues (thanks, SnapKit). But it doesn’t take care of the most important: design. I’ve been stuck on the design for a universal version of Codea’s code editor for over a year. It might even be two.
One of many Sketch files with iterations of how the code editor should scale
I realised six months ago as I was using my Mac, using the menus, that I need these things — menus — in Codea. I was trying to solve a problem that has been solved for decades.
So I set out to make the best menus I could make for iOS.

RT @brandonlgtaylor: This is fantastic

What they’re doing here with Codea isn’t just putting the Mac menu bar on iOS. They’ve designed and built a very iOS-looking take on a menu bar, deeply informed by the aspects of the Mac menu bar that do work on a touch screen. Something like this is desperately needed as a standard interface element on iPad, and I think could work on iPhone too.
(As an aside, looking at the nice drop shadows behind Codea’s menus reminds me how much I hate the almost-no-shadow flatness of standard iOS popovers on iPad. Ever since iOS 7 I’ve thought iPad popovers look like a rendering bug or an early prototype. Putting aside a debate regarding the overall flatness of iOS 7–12, iPad popovers just look wrong to me. They should look a lot more like what Codea is doing with their menus.)
