    On Apple betting too big on China. Well, I have some news for you: because of our obsession with paying low prices on everything, we pushed every company in the world to depend on China’s cheap labour. We are the ones who depends on China. Think globally, act locally.

    Apple usually show the way when it’s time to put humans interests above anything else. Apple cannot be far behind. WWDC2020 will (should) be a virtual event this year.

    The thing that I find surprising is the position of eBay. I can’t remember the last time I used this service. Same for people around me. Apple.com is No.4 in U.S. e-commerce market share macdailynews.com/2020/03/0…

    I have some doubts that Apple will feel the pressure to up their game with the stock apps because they allow third-party apps to act as default ones. Why? What do they lose in case of status quo? Keeping pressure on them with constructive comments as bloggers has more effects. Why? It comes down to public image management.

    The sad state of buying software these days. I did pay for Enlight back then. Deleted. Too bad, it was great while it lasted.

    The share sheet design in iOS 13: I find it confusing. 🤷🏻‍♂️ It is a step ahead of iOS 12 but yet I’m not satisfied and I don’t know why exactly. The inclusion of Shortcuts is ok but should they have been put in a separate section? Also missing in iOS 13: a way to maximize/minimize popover windows like this one. I understand the need to keep sight of context of invocation. Your take?

    I was an indie developer from 2009 to 2013. I made three apps that got me about $5000 in revenue. I don’t know how much per hour this represents. I loved this time of my life where after a long work day I would sit in front of my Mac to learn Obj-C, Interface Builder, etc. until later in the night. Now, I can really appreciate what it is like to build apps and let the world know about them. Expressing Gratitude to Developers

    Interesting small new app: Tot from iconfactory. More interesting though: free on Mac. One time purchase on iOS. iCloud sync. See the trick? I like this. Clever. It could have been the other way around too. But I’ll stay with my current tools. tot.rocks
