Recently I stumbled upon (as I later discovered) AI-generated music on #AppleMusic. It was not obvious that it was AI-generated, though. Quite bad, IMHO.
What’s even worse, the week after, more AI-slop was recommended to me. A total no-go.
Don’t get me wrong: that crap can exist and be available on Apple Music, I don’t mind. But not marking it as such and recommending it without marking is simply bad. I expect more for my money.

Got two more things to share about music today:

OMG, what a great performance. And that drum solo! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1tbSyrmXo60

The people at Apple responsible for the UX of the Music app on Mac should be forced to actually use it on a daily basis. Quite sure that would quickly improve it. Such a dumpster fire. Questioning why I am paying for this every single month. #AppleMusic

That's going to be another really nice release. Tons of improvements for daily use.

We just released Taska 1.7, a new version of our task management app for GitHub and GitLab. https://apps.apple.com/app/taska-for-github-gitlab-issues/id6741809383

The latest update add an MCP server for integrating Taska with AI agents (Codex, Claude Code, …) without the need to give them full access to GitHub/GitLab. Pretty handy to have your agent categorize, search and summarize tasks. But it can also add comment and even close tickets on your behalf.

Comparing screenshots that don’t quite line up?

Kaleidoscope 6.6 now aligns them automatically using AI. Works with UI tests, web pages, and real-world app screenshots.

Manual adjustment is still there when you need it.

That was an interesting one to work on, for a number of different reasons. Coming up with UI and interaction for something that doesn’t exist yet is a fun challenge.

I don’t get why everyone is talking about the new web version of the Apple App Store. It’s a catalog, not a store, isn’t it? Or did I miss the option to purchase? I’d love to be able to purchase a Mac app while browsing the web on my iPad.
