🚨Okay, ladies and gentlemen, it’s time for the newest edition of my weekly creative summary! Thanks for taking the time to have a peek at it. 😊 If you prefer the email version, it’s coming up later today, but be sure to subscribe here!
Folks, I think I’ve finally rationalized it. Don’t think of it as a PURCHASE. Think of it as an advanced prototype that you’ve paid Apple for the PRIVILEGE of testing.
Thinking about the Apple Vision Pro, the right way.
The lack of proper footnotes support in the Ghost editor is… how dare I could say that… perplexing? This solution is a bit… overwhelming for me. Oh well.
If you’re a Craft user and are looking for ways that Gen AI could add value to the Craft Assistant, I wrote this document. I think there is an untapped potential in Craft because of minimalistic support for the ChatGPT entry-level model. Feedback is welcome.
The Next One Is My Best
I just completed recording my next YouTube video (my YouTube channel), which will come out early next week. It’s probably the one I’m the most proud of at many levels. The release will match the release of a new version of an app that I like a lot 🤫. Technically, the sound is good. I’me using Bezels to demo the app on the iPad and the iPhone, a first for me. The video structure seems logical and should help the viewers in learning new things. Can’t wait to share that one. I hope it will get the attention I’m hoping for. 🤞🏻
I'm Sorry but Apple Vision Pro Is Another VR Headset, or Is It?
Of all people who reviewed or are now active users of the Apple Vision Pro, some are mentioning, rightfully, that this is not about AR1 but 95% about VR2. Apple doesn’t want to admit it, but this is a VR headset. Why is that? Is is because it is “easier”3 to recreate something from the ground up (the virtual world enabled by visionOS) than taking the reality and adding meaningful and useful stuff to it? I see much more limited use case for augmented reality than for virtual reality. It might change in the future, now that people are now exposed to it through other people using the headset sharing their experience.
I’ll probably buy an Apple Vision Pro when it arrives in Canada. My wife doesn’t know it. She will undoubtedly question my decision. She can be challenging at times. But I’ll go ahead anyway. We don’t have a home theatre by today’s standards. We never invested money into these technologies. But this time, it’s different. It’s a too important moment in technology to pass.
The Arc Browser is the perfect browser to consume my Micro.blog timeline. In fact, it’s the best browser to consume, period. I’m (mostly) in love. I know, I may be late to the party.
Currently exploring and testing the Arc browser. This thing looks seriously cool. I wish Apple invented it. My only serious concern is iCloud Keychain support. 👀🤔
Basic Apple Guy writing about the Apple Vision Pro:
For now, Vision Pro remains a very exclusive playground for developers and enthusiasts, clay waiting to be moulded into something quite incredible for the future.
Craig Hockenberry writing about the Mac turning 40:
Apple Vision Pro is a technical marvel, but ultimately falls short in ways that satisfy the natural curiosity of developers.
Time will tell if a new generation of developers will find their way to be creative and think outside the box1. Otherwise, Apple will eventually have to try harder to think outside the box.
