Anyone knows of a email client app that:
- has iOS, iPadOS, macOS clients
- supports a “unified inbox” across multiple Google accounts
- supports GMail labels?
- and has swipe gestures to archive, snooze, etc?
Using Spark now, but they don’t support labels on iOS. 😓
Love the small design touches in Claude v2
You can search and chat from the same input
You can use Markdown shortcuts to input rich text, like # Headings and `code` and - lists
It works well on mobile as a webapp. Just add to homescreen
Oh, and the neat animated “AI” logo
Takeaways from the Twitter algorithm rules
Do not:
- Be a curious person. You cannot follow more than you are followed.
- Have diverse interests. You cannot post “out of network” content
- Hold simultaneous conflicting beliefs and be contrarian once in a while. You shouldn’t have people unfollow you.
- Cite your sources if they’re from the open web. You shouldn’t post links, they’re frowned upon.
Doing any of those things will mean you’re a pariah on Twitter. What a weird place!
This wasn’t always the case in iOS, of course.
Similar actions, but on the springboard in iOS and iPadOS, don’t use the ellipsis as an affordance, even when they invoke a modal
This is interesting to me because I’ve only ever done design for web & mobile, and this kind of affordance seems to only be used on desktop, mostly – I wonder why?
But with the rise of SwiftUI, these seem to be showing up more on iPhone and iPad apps. Here it is in the Books app.
This is a small design detail in macOS and Windows that I’ve entirely missed in my decades of using it.
It turns out that when you have a menu item with a label that ends with ellipsis (…) it means the action will invoke a dialog, instead of being immediately executed!
Often, in a personal or business context, people just want to have an X vs Y and see how things relate.
Think of a product/feature comparison table.
Product X has features X, Y
Product Y has features Y, Z
Maybe we should build product Z with features X, Y, Z.
Relational-style tables like the ones popularized by Airtable & Notion are awkward to use for this sort of thing.
And so are network-style visualizations in Roam et al.
Network-style viz helps you see where hubs naturally emerge, but most people aren’t studying complex systems!
Can’t count the times I’ve seen people use Excel or dumb tables in docs because they want to represent adjacency matrices.
Graphs are how we naturally think to model relationships.
You can represent any network with a matrix.
Each row answers the question:
How is this thing connected to all the other things?
