    If Apple decides to postpone WWDC2020 (because of COVID19], it could mean, for the first time in a while, Apple will ship new features at the same time of their announcement this fall. Just sayin. #apple #iosdev #WWDC #WWDC2020

    The more I experiment with Notion, the more I find it interesting, powerful and useful. This thing can be a personal CMS for any blogger. I should write a blog post about this.

    A bit hold but still relevant. On the pervasive use by Apple of the ellipsis in iOS.

    Bookmarking apps and services like Pinboard are great but they offer limited features… (I was a user of Pocket before). For me, I decided to use more versatile tools like Notion.io instead. More complete, deeper learning curve but way more than bookmarking service. (I was evaluating Raindrop.io but stopped because of lack of support of multitasking on iPadOS. I wrote the developer about it. Still didn’t get a response). alanralph.co.uk/3721-2/ Continue reading →

    I’m not on beta this time for iOS / iPadOS. I can’t remember when was the last time my devices were not running a non-beta release. 😳🤔

    If true, this would put the final nail in the coffin for depending on a computer to do full reset of a device. Just like on the Mac. Can’t wait. #apple #ios134 www.macrumors.com/2020/02/2…

    Security is not an easy thing to implement without adding layers and burden to the end-users. Same thing goes with added hardware features (like TouchID) which translate in added steps in the setup assistant. They do require setup. Is there a solution to all this? More features, less choices, same bureaucraty? pxlnv.com/blog/cata… Continue reading →

    Just opened Adobe Spark Post to create something and I was greeted with a poll. The first question was how I would feel if Adobe Spark Port was no longer available. 😳😱 That doesn’t bode well for this service.

  • A new and interesting concept for iPadOS multitasking

    Another iPadOS multitasking concept appeared on Twitter. First, this is an intersting starting point to redo multitasking on the iPad. Very simple gesture: single tap as it should be. My guess is that developers wouldn’t need to update their app in order to support this new model. It does fix the problem of finding the second app to bring in. Second, how the hell do they make these animations? How do we bring this to Apple’s attention? Continue reading →

    Desjardins, a major financial institution here in Canada, deserving mostly Quebec province and well known for a major data breach they were victim of recently, occupies modern offices near my home. They rented and rearchitected the internal space available in the olympic stadium’s main tour. Impressive. See the link here to have a look. design-milk.com/montreals… Continue reading →

    Sometimes I feel that I’m spending more time testing tools and switching my stuff between them than actually doing useful work with them. Currently testing MarsEdit and Notion. Always looking for better tools and services.

    I’ve always been fascinated by the web service called “Notion”. Anyone here using this platform? I’m wondering if this can be useful for me and how it would fit in my current workflows. Maybe I’ll open my account there and see how it goes.

    Yeah, Steve Jobs would have been 65 today. I’m kind of always asking myself: would Steve like to be remembered like this, every year, directly from the CEO of Apple? Anyways, I miss him a lot. #apple #stevejobs #sjobs twitter.com/tim_cook/…
