I am very proud to release Parcel 8.0 today. It is a brand new app with a refreshed design for iOS 26, support for Apple Intelligence and more. Available for iOS 18 too.
Many thanks to my beta testers who helped me make it a better product 🫡
Full release notes below.
Introducing Bases, a new core plugin that lets you turn any set of notes into a powerful database.
Now available to everyone with Obsidian 1.9!
Perplexity is now crying because their plagiarism machine cannot bypass Cloudflare's firewall. How about you start paying for stealing others' content to train your shity AI?
Perplexity Says Cloudflare Is Blocking Legitimate AI Assistants https://www.searchenginejournal.com/perplexity-says-cloudflare-is-blocking-legitimate-ai-assistants/552927/
There is no Legitimate LLM or AI if takes all content without permission and these companies sell their services for money. It is stealing. Plain and simple.
To be completely honest with y'all, I'm feeling the same sense of dread about iOS 26 as I did with Stage Manager in iPadOS 16. And it's actually even worse, because design touches *everything* across platforms.
The more time passes, the more I feel like the entire idea of Liquid Glass needs to be scrapped. The material is bad; the few structural ideas they had are functionally worse than before.
I'm feeling very demotivated. iPadOS 26 is the only great thing I'm using so far.
The more time I spend with Liquid Glass, the more I don't understand Alan Dye's and the design team's obsession with minimizing UI chrome and "prioritizing content" instead.
With collapsed tab bars in iOS 26, it now takes me two taps to switch between Library and Music.
Is that…better? The animations are gorgeous, sure. But does it actually *work* better? 🤔
Wait, how does one actually subscribe to YouTube Premium Lite…?
