I really hate how wide the WATCH has gotten relative to the narrow bands.

The Series 10-11 sticks out like a sore thumb on my wrist compared to an original ("series 0").

I think this would be resolved by having wider bands. I have one that is a little wider (right image) and it is the only band I find acceptable to wear in public.

(The Ultra has wider bands compatible with the larger size class, but the smaller 38/40/41/42 doesn't work with these)

Can someone please make wider bands?!

We all know Charles Napier was famous for playing tough military characters like the commander in Austin Powers or the general in the Star Trek DS9 episode "Little Green Men."

But TIL he also played the main SPACE HIPPIE in Star Trek's original series!!! 🤯

Colored folders are so 1990.
What a weird green checkmark.

What a convoluted set of steps to get a tax document.

Here's a genius idea Apple: why not attach it to the email telling me about it?

I wonder how many people will not be reporting their Apple Savings earnings due to shitty UI.

I love how Apple is just trying to scare users about developers adopting technologies it originally promoted as being useful to them.

"Adding" is also very imprecise language and sounds like we're modifying the system. The spotlight service stays in Hype's application bundle.

I finally made my first completed (inked/colored) hand-drawn animation!

It is for a solarpunk concept where people practice a dance martial art similar to Capoeira.

PSA: I missed when this was added to Mail.app (maybe a macOS 14.x update?) but it appears you turn off those pesky link previews when pasting URLs into a new mail message.

My 1 bugfix update got rejected because I link to my website.

How are my fellow Mac app developers dealing with Apple's last gasp crackdown at their anti-steering provisions?

Are you making entirely separate versions of your website? Are you using query args to change behavior?
