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.

Bye Bye Zapier, IFTTT, Still a Keeper

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. The latter could probably be eliminated.

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?

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.
