  • How do you get out of Adobe Lightroom? What if I want to focus on Photomator and Pixelmator instead?

  • Waiting for more interactive widgets…

    ✅ WaterMinder ✅ Longplay Timery 👀 Focused Work 👀 What else? read more

  • Pixelfed Is Working on “Solo”

    I’m really curious about this. The idea of having my personal instance of Pixelfed is tempting. I like the idea of having full control and not being at the mercy of some other admin, updating the codebase as I wish while being part of the Pixelfed federation1. It’s expected to be released on October … read more

  • ⁉️This iCloud Upload of 78 items has been going on since I migrated from the 13-inch MBA to the 15-inch MBA with Apple Migration Assistant. Any ideas on how to fix this? 1🤔

    1. Annoying as hell. ↩︎

  • I wish there was a way to subscribe to a RSS feed within Day One. This way, I could delete my IFTTT account. 1😐

    1. IFTTT read my Micro.blog RSS feed to save a copy of my posts to my personal journal on Day One. ↩︎

  • I find it surprising and annoying that Apple’s PodcastsConnect doesn’t support… Sign in with Apple.1🤦🏻‍♂️

    1. It means a new podcast episode is coming up soon! ↩︎

  • I wanted to increase my podcasts listening time. I decided to put Overcast on the first home screen page. It worked. 👌🏻🤓

  • Wondering if @mtt Tiny Theme is compatible with Hugo 0.117… 🤔

  • While Elon Musk wants the Twitter brand to disappear from the earth’s surface, you can see the Twitter icon and references everywhere on the web. X is not taking over at all. Services or apps that depend on Twitter for logging in, news sites asking people to join them via social networks, apps offering a sharing action or whatever the needs are, most continue to use Twitter’s original branding. In support of those who refuse to let go the little bird, here’s my contribution1.

    1. Thanks to Midjourney 😜 ↩︎

  • On Apps by Apple

    What a strange move by Apple. This website made by Apple promotes first-party apps for the iPhone, iPad, Mac, etc. Why? Why now? I would understand in the context of being forced to allow third-party App Stores. Apple reminding people about their apps while people are getting excited by side-loading … read more

  • Remember Apple’s Freeform?

    I’m curious, is anyone using Apple’s Freeform? For what use case? Personally, I was curious about Freeform and experimented with it for a while, but then I stopped using it. I prefer using it on the iPad than on the Mac. read more

  • Pixelfed is rolling out Stories. 😒🤦🏻‍♂️ I’m not a fan at all. I’m not sure that I want PixelFed to take that direction. I decided to unfollow anyone who shares one of these.1

    1. I left Instagram because it wasn’t about photography anymore. ↩︎

  • I got an Ember coffee mug1 for my birthday, yesterday. The first thing the Ember app detected after pairing the mug with my iPhone was that an update to the mug’s firmware. It took 5 minutes to complete. Software is everywhere now guys. 😳

    1. The mug keeps the coffee at the right temperature. Great and well-design coffee mug. ↩︎

  • I played with Apple’s Maps Places feature, as shown in the following video. It’s nice, but it’s not exactly intuitive. There are many missing features, like setting a path between places and adding photos to a place within the guide, from the Photos.app for example to name a few. Also, it’s not clear if a shared guide gets updated if new places are added, or places are removed.

  • I updated my toolset website today1 with three additions under consideration: Digest2, Lazy3 and Heptabase4. The statuses of my current projects were also updated. Thanks for paying a visit.

    1. Use the table of content at the top of the site to locate the right section. Convenient, heh? ↩︎

    2. To replace Mailbrew. ↩︎

    3. A super-charged “save-for-later” service. Could replace Omnivore or complement it. I put myself on their waiting list. ↩︎

    4. A hard-to-define service / apps for supporting research. Could complement Craft. Or not. Another subscription. Gush. ↩︎

  • One Podcast, Three Looks

    I always subscribe to my own content distribution channels for quality control purposes 1. I’m using Overcast, Pocket Cast and Apple Podcast to display my latest podcast episode. In these screenshots, I selected the info button to display the episode details. I’m a paid subscriber of Pocket Cast. I … read more

  • Episode 01 — This Is Not a Drill!

    Bad weather 🌧️ means time to the coffee shop for creative work ☕ 👨🏻‍💻 on my next YouTube video about Craft YouTube Integration. I paid a visit to the Apple Store to get my iPhone screen replaced 🛠️. I came out without a replacement; learn why in this episode available on Apple’s Podcast. 👀 … read more

  • On Dark Sky and Apple's Weather

    A Eulogy for Dark Sky, a Data Visualization Masterpiece The design of Dark Sky was so wonderful that I could understand the shape of the weather at a glance, even from a zoomed out view of the app. Great analysis of the now-defunct Dark Sky weather app. I’m a bit late on that one. I … read more

  • We’re truly honoured to be able to announce that we have taken over development of Toolbox Pro, Logger for Shortcuts, and Nautomate. Source: Toolbox Pro, Logger for Shortcuts, and Nautomate | Snailed It Development Ltd

    It is good to know that there is a future for this nifty utility. I plan to use it for a project involving Plausible analytics API consumption to display graphs using Chartyon my iPhone.

  • I’m a big fan of AnyBox (YouTube video) and in the latest update (v1.27), information density increased a bit. I love it. 😍
