Interesting newcomer in the note taking apps landscape: Noto - Elegant Note. Really nice design. Not sure about long term viability (remember Evernote?). Not sure about design scalability with a lot of notes. Another subscription to take care of. Not cheap for a young app. MacStories.net has more to say about it for sure. I’ll keep on eye on that one. apps.apple.com/ca/app/no…
I almost forgot that I have a Podcast (in french). My last recording goes back to last summer. I didn’t mention it on my blogger workflow. Too insignificant I guess.
I know this one is fake but if the rumoured iPhone 9, or iPhone SE// or whatever they call it looks like this fake model, I kind of like it… especially the edges that looks like the one on the iPad Pro. Get rid of the bezels and voilà! But it’s not going to happen. #apple #iphone twitter.com/WhatTheBi…
One of the things that I don’t like with Apple Music.app is this: the visual feedback that comes with adding or loving a song. Too obstructive, too slow. Reminds me of the volume hud… that Apple finally got rid of with iOS 13. Oh, and by the way, why burry Add and Love in a sub-menu? Agree? #applemusic #apple #ui #ux #design
Asking my dear network of friends: I’d like to be able to put a widget of Google analytics on my iPad home screen. Do you know of any iOS apps that can do this? I’ll pay for it if the design is up to my taste. Something along the line of this one (which is no longer being maintained). Thanks. 🙏🏻 apps.apple.com/ca/app/ga…
Another prime example of Microsoft great efforts in designing visually appealing UI elements: icons. I love those very much. Can’t get out of my head the simple thought that they are getting better at design than Apple on the desktop OS front? Oh and pay attention to the mail icon design evolution from the very beginning to 2020.
Nice summary of opinions about iPad’s ten years anniversary by Mike Rockwell. And I second his own point of view on iPad current state of affair. #apple #ipad #ipados The State of iPad - Initial Charge
Because I’m a freak of visitors statistics in general, I just enabled Google Analytics for this micro.blog. Just another way to see if I get any attention (I’m not attention freak though!). 😊
You know what? When reading replies on Twitter, I rarely go past 5 replies… this is usually the point where things are getting either ugly, out of control and not related to the original tweet. This is why I think social networks are not good instruments for debate and discussions.
I expect Apple to go ahead with this, allowing the users to set a default browser or mail client on iOS. Changing defaults is part of a modern OS and this would be, in my opinion, another step towards the upcoming ARM-based Macs running iPadOS. 9to5mac.com/2020/02/2…
