After dealing with iOS 26 and macOS 26 for months, I still cringe at the aesthetic problems. How could anyone think this Liquid Glass gimmick was a good idea?

I've been building a "front page" for Toad (my terminal UI for agentic coding).

This will the first page the user will see if they run "toad" from the command line without additional arguments. For here they can browse / search for agents and install directly from the command line.

There are 10 agent supported so far, with more being added all the time. I also see this is a place to install other more specialized AI tools in addition to agentic coding.

I was waiting longer and giving benefit of the doubt, but it's pretty clear now that Liquid Glass is a disaster. The design is gimmicky, without any coherent vision to hold it all together, and (in many cases) seemingly without common sense.

I sincerely hope there is a way to simply turn it off, on all platforms, but especially on macOS. (Ugh, maybe I just won't update macOS. That Finder "toolbar-that-isn't-a-toolbar" is so bizarre. How did anyone ever think that was a good idea?)

The Textual site also links to Will's very nice Discord server, where people share works in progress.
@jamesthomson -- @willmcgugan created a very nice calculator example (see https://textual.textualize.io near the bottom). But I'm curious what you'd be able to do with it!

@jamesthomson -- Hi, James. Thanks for making PCalc. I still love it and use it on just about everything. Question: You've made PCalc for just about everything... but have you tried making the TUI version using Textual? That would be amazing.

Interview: Craig Federighi Opens Up About iPadOS, Its Multitasking Journey, and the iPad’s Essence

It’s a cool, sunny morning at Apple Park as I’m walking my way along the iconic glass ring to meet with Apple’s SVP of Software Engineering, Craig Federighi, for a conversation about the iPad. It’s the Wednesday after WWDC, and although there are still some developers and members of the press around Apple’s campus, it

A very insightful and candid commentary of the present state of iPadOS in "Why iPadOS Still Doesn’t Get the Basics Right" (https://www.macstories.net/stories/not-an-ipad-pro-review/). Echoes the developer's perspective by Steve Troughton-Smith in his "iPad Pro Manifesto" (https://www.highcaffeinecontent.com/blog/20240514-The-iPad-Pro-Manifesto-(2024-Edition)).
Not an iPad Pro Review: Why iPadOS Still Doesn’t Get the Basics Right - MacStories

Let me cut to the chase: sadly, I don't have a new iPad Pro to review today on MacStories. I was able to try one in London last week, and, as I wrote, I came away impressed with the hardware. However, I didn't get a chance to use a new iPad Pro over the past
