Pretty neat how Jack saw Elon make an ass out of himself and decided that, instead of using the opportunity to rebrand himself the smart one, he would loudly declare "I also have shit for brains" and endorse an anti-vax grifter nepobaby for President.
@sandofsky I’ve been watching people chase the cross-platform UI framework white whale for 25 years; I’ve seen a handful of apps created that surprise and delight, but I’ve never been convinced the amount of time and effort that went into bending those frameworks to create that experience on each platform was less than if they’d just implanted native UI code for each.

If you’re reading this on iOS, it’s really interesting to me that clicking this link will slide open an Apple One signup UI — right on top of your Mastodon client!

@atpfm @siracusa @marcoarment @caseyliss SwiftUI isn’t responsible for what you dislike about System Settings.

By default, SwiftUI uses the AppKit widgets. You have to *opt in* to different styles, which System Settings has done.

And you can quibble about those styles, for sure. But this is about the designers, not the technology.

Difference between the screenshots below:

.formStyle(.grouped)
.toggleStyle(.switch)

Otherwise it’s the same code in both cases.

The WWDC slack opened up today with all of the channel names redacted. The placeholder names are good, but I think I can offer my help here:

Web developers: when you say, “your browser does not support this site,” what you REALLY mean is that YOU don’t support the browser. Don’t turn it around on the user because you chose not to stick to well-supported standards, or worse, are doing user agent sniffing.

If you truly use some feature shipped by one browser and not everyone, at least say, “We use x standard feature, which is unsupported in this browser.” But even then, the web is all about progressive enhancement.

@nckh @stroughtonsmith @quichebrowser I LOVE this! Just downloaded and started tinkering with it. I’m a fan. I’ll be using it. It’s earned a place on my Home Screen.
@nckh @stroughtonsmith @quichebrowser This is seriously amazing! Safari wastes too much space on buttons I hardly use (prefer to swipe from edge rather than use back/forward buttons). I combined the address bar with buttons, and now I can get more screen estate for actual webpage contents.

Hi @stroughtonsmith 👋🏼

We've thoroughly studied all kinds of presentation apps for years now—but it's the first time I see them all compared directly with iA Presenter. Traditional designs enlarge the thumbnails in the WYSIWYG GUI and compress the narrative. Feels redundant and uneconomic. iA Presenter showcases visuals on the left and puts the focus on the narrative. Notice the limited space given to the story in conventional presentation apps. This makes clear why we often pack our slides with text in PPT & Co.
