Just found out a (quick and dirty) way to interact with QC on an iPhone (or iPad): Liveview (with Interactive turned on). You do have to scale the components in such a way that they fill the entire 640*960px on your screen ideally. In my demo I just cropped the UI a bit.

For anyone interested in learning QC, I put together a simple demo of an iPhone app and left a lot of comments on how it was put together. This is the file I wanted to see when I started learning: http://buff.ly/17B6xVK

There needs to be more of this - be the change you want to see.

Wow, thanks! There isn't much UI specific QC material, so this is much appreciated.

quartz composer is an amazing piece of kit

These tutorials are really awesome! Thanks! I can't wait for more of them.

Excelent! I've been looking for this!

I followed the full tutorial, but in the end, trying to add the text to the bubbles and its shadows somehow broke the comp. I really want to learn how to use this app, it seems limitless, but, somehow, I feel like every little thing, such as a drop shadow ( that I can quickly do in AfterEffects), requires a lot of work.

Is there anywhere that explaining why you connect the images patches? I've tried hard to use it before, but was confused about the basic way nodes connect to each other. Even Developer tools wasn't clear on it.

Thanks for sharing!
