Lex FriedmanTim Cook can serve Apple, its shareholders, its employees, and its customers well without giving Trump trophies, and without remaining silent on inequality towards our most vulnerable. He has failed.

Opportunity Knocks
This week I have taken on a new role at Cross Forward ā the makers of Widgetsmith, Pedometer++, and other fine apps. Iām sure you all know this means I am working with Underscore David Smith and Stephen Hackett. Stephen has been working with Underscore for quite some time now,
David SmithThe next Pedometer++ screen to get a 1st draft redesign is the route editor. There are several mapping based functions in the app, so finding a new general design approach is essential to getting the iOS 26 design in shape.
Thankfully this kind of screen feels like what Liquid Glass was designed for. There are many functional UI's where it feels awkward but for a visually rich screen with clear content vs controls this felt much more straightforward.
