    Is this a new tactic by Amazon: clicking on reviews count to take a look at reviews to discover that not all reviews apply to the currently selected product? 😳😒

    As hard as I wanted to get extensibility in Craft (with APIs, for example), I still fail to see a practical use case for me. The APIs are really simple, but what am I going to do with them? I just don’t know. 🤷🏻‍♂️🤦🏻‍♂️

    I’m giving the iPad Pro with external display another try (under 26.2 b3). As far as I can see, it’s not all Apple’s fault if there are many paper cuts: third-party apps support with external display is lacking. Make no mistake: iPadOS 26.2 as come a long way… but iPad-only rules still make the iPad a bit too far from the macOS experience. Borderless-windows in dark mode makes it hard to distinguish which app is which. Continue reading →

    I’ve been creating YouTube videos for several years, mainly focused on Craft, but also covering Micro.blog and a few other topics. Some of my older Craft videos seem outdated since they reference much older versions that are not relevant anymore. Should I set these videos to private now? What are other YouTubers doing in this situation?

    Something must be going on with Apple’s iWork not being updated with Liquid Glass at this time of year. Apple might be working on better integration with Photomator and PixelMator Pro beyond Liquid Glass adoption. What is your take?

    Another major Internet outage is ongoing, thanks to CloudFlare this time. I’m experiencing several unusual issues this morning (Inoreader, Micro.blog, Craft-hosted docs, etc.).

    A bug in the Apple Shortcuts editor on the Mac. One of so many. Can you imagine if Apple allowed third-party Shortcut editors to create shortcuts? That would be awesome.

    Tweaks to iPadOS 26 b3 multitasking are so very much welcomed! Is Apple finally getting there where they take the best of iPadOS 18 and iPadOS 26? It might be the case. Still experimenting.

    I have finally deleted my Zapier account after a few years of inactivity. It’s significantly more complicated than IFTTT and much more expensive. IFTTT is far from perfect. It seems to be stagnant even. But, for my needs, it’s ok. I have two applets: 1) Save all posts on my RSS superfeed into a **Day One **journal, 2) Save a link into a Google sheet of a YouTube video that I like. Continue reading →

    With iPadOS 26 multitasking, I found that the best way for me to add another app besides an existing one is to go through the App Library, search for it, then tap and drag into place. Is there a more efficient way?

    In recent days, while on vacation, I spent some time cleaning up my Shortcuts library. It was a mess: unused shortcuts, non-working ones, unnecessary settings for Apple Watch or search availability, wrong tile color, etc. I’m still not done yet.

    Opening a link to the App Store now defaults to opening the App Store web version, requiring another tap to go in the App Store to download the app. Why forcing people to visit the web version first?

    Food for thought

    I’m so proud of us Canadians 🇨🇦 who avoided the US for vacations creating a four billion dollar deficit in tourism this year. I hope this will continue as long as the US is acting like an enemy. Power to the people who dare to defy stupidity and autocracy.

    I learned that Day One offers an MCP server for the Mac. Craft is about to launch its own MCP support. Now, could this mean I could build a bridge for exporting data from Day One to Craft (using a Shortcut for example)?
