(Having the ability to write text directly on the canvas is great, I've been waiting for this a long time, I found it quite annoying with my auto-tiling setup that a separate text window popped next to the main window, and I couldn't see the full canvas.)

Calibre 9.6 Adds New Card-Based View of Full-Text Search Results with Book Covers:

(I recently downloaded Calibre to read an ebook for a university assignment, I really like its customizability, that I can set text width, number of columns, panels to show, etc. The only thing I don't like about it is that it's bundled with a full-blown ebook manager and ebook editor, while all I need is just a simple ebook reader, idk why it has to pull all that extra stuff if I download the reader (at least on Debian))

Krita 5.3.0 Released!

Today is the simultaneous release of Krita 5.3.0 and Krita 6.0.0! Depending which version of Qt and KDE Frameworks you build, the same source will result in one of the other. Both versions are almost functionally identical, with 6.0.0 having more Wayland functionality.

I'm writing my first self-published book — more details next week. It's a topic I presented for @joshdholtz at @deepdishswift. Part 1 covers Swift Testing, and Part 2 introduces my new open source framework. The sample app is an airline ticketing app backed by a real-time shared API that randomizes every week — simulated flight statuses, dynamic seat availability, 20 cities (10 domestic, 10 international).

Why does this only work like 60% of the time? Any other good way to reset sandbox in-app purchase transactions during a Unit/UI test, so I can start with an unsubscribed state? #UIKit #SwiftUI #Swift #Testing
