    If Apple is serious about AR, they are the best positioned to provide us a clean, uncluttered augmented view of our surroundings with ads and tracking besides what is required to make the AR magic possible. The Coming Supremacy of AR - Allen Pike

    Here is a good and possible tweak to iPad multitasking, one that I can imagine Apple implementing. These contextual menus shouldn’t remove gestures though as it provides a great power user feature. #apple #ipad #ipados A Fix for iPad Multitasking - MacStories

    On managing Fonts on iOS. Why is this happening? Lost of my installed fonts because I didn’t pay attention to this. There has to be a better way. #apple #ios13 #adobe

    Question to people here on Micro.blog: what are the choices of themes? Are the ones (nine or so) the only one available? Asking for a friend of mine. 😊

    Here is an insider note, from a blogger. Each and every single morning, I spend about 45-60 minutes doing things related to my blog: writing, reading, researching, bookmarking, designing, thinking. Every single day. It’s a passion I guess. #blogger #bloggerlife #writing 👨🏻‍💻😎

    Is it good for developers or for Apple? Devs prefer to sell two versions (one for iOS, the other for macOS) instead of only one… right? #iosdev #apple Apple adds ability for developers to sell Mac and iOS apps as a single purchase - 9to5Mac

    Eventually I’ll have to make a decision. Feature wise, design wise: one of them provide a satisfactory solution. None. And I’m not even talking about pricing. ☹️

    From iOS 13.4 beta 1. Amen. Here is a simple question: who thought it was a good idea to redesign the toolbar of Mail.app in iOS 12? Now Apple changed his mind and reverted the redesign introduced in iOS 13. #apple

    Who said that @gruber can’t have a critical view of Apple? From his report card; Mac: D. Ouch. He doesn’t like the keyboard and macOS Catalina. iPad: D. Cause: software, again. Apple TV: D. Software. Again. I do agree with Catalina security being too strict and the lack of a more “relaxed mode”. daringfireball.net/2020/02/m…

    Now that we’ve got beta1 of iOS 13.4… which includes iCloud Folder Sharing, waiting for horror stories of data corruption and data lost to happen. 🍿 I’m not going to be on board for this round of beta cycle. #ios134beta1

    There is a lot of push back about software subscriptions these days it seems. But we should remember about past scams with promised updates for paid software that never came. So many examples of “significant” updates that are merely excuses to charge the user base again. There is no perfect and definitive solutions when it comes to pay for software. It is a matter of trust between the developer and the users or potential customers.

    Well, it sounds like he is trying to justify the new and more expansive subscription model for Flexibits and Fantastical. For me, it does take much more than fancy animations to justify the price they ask. A working Apple Watch would help. Daring Fireball: Federico Viticci’s Review of the New Fantastical

    Here is one of my problems: I don’t have enough time in a day to write about all the things I’d like to post here and on my main blog. So many things I would like to write about. One such thing is about my blogger workflow (what tools do I use and why, what platforms, etc.). 🤷🏻‍♂️

    Just found out why for longer posts (> 280 characters) a title field shows up while editing my blog post. Nice touch. One thing though, I’d like to have the post categories always shown instead of having to hit the ellipsis button each time. Consider this a feature request. 🙋🏻‍♂️

    This iPadOS multitasking mockup is what Apple should try to do in the next major release. Better yet, I would implement it as a “pinch to merge” two apps when they are close together. If they are far apart, then tap and hold on one app, tap and slide over the other like on the mockup here is good! #apple #iPadOS twitter.com/orange_ki…

    How is that possible in 2020: an app that looks good, useful, available for both the iPhone and the iPad, that syncs across them and is a one time purchase? Really? No subscription? Instant buy. Spend Stack. 🥰🙏 apps.apple.com/app/spend…
