@gruber You mentioned iPadOS being separate from iOS by marketing brand only on a recent podcast.

The clearest sign of this is in Xcode. There’s no distinct iPadOS, only iOS:

I want to join The Browser Company just to fix the bodgy focus rings on their custom buttons in Arc, and then I'd fly off into the night like a vengeful, bug-fixing Mary Poppins.

@tonyarnold Does that mean that slimmer rectangle is the click target?

@jamesthomson I see your clever 20 year non-compete clause is finally expiring 😝

Apple’s New iPhone Ad: ‘Don’t Let Me Go’

The sole reason why I pay for an Apple One Family is because my dad wouldn’t have a photo backup otherwise. It’s expensive.

It’s a key example of Apple sacrificing the user experience for the benefit of extra service revenue.

it should bother you more than it does that analog clocks have three “hands,” and that the third hand is called the second hand. we all just let that happen

@rebrafsim It makes sense if you write your dates as MM/DD/YYYY.

@macrumors Ah I didn’t know 24GB was an increase over the previous model. Still really needs to be more for my needs…

Good week for me to be on The Talk Show with @gruber.

@jsnell @gruber My favourite episode of The Talk Show in ages.

Re the notion of the iMac as appliance — iPhone fits in that role now. But does that framing also help understand the direction of iPad or Apple Vision?

And you talked about Xcode running on the iPad — can you imagine the Vision Simulator running on iPad? I think Apple Silicon Macs had to come out so developers could make apps for the Vision Pro: https://icing.space/2020/apple-ar-app-developer-story as Intel Macs don’t have the unified memory architecture.

@gruber As an alternative to Arc, have you heard of Horse? The app is very elegant, the tab system is the best I’ve seen, and the website is classic. Is it Chromium though not WebKit. https://browser.horse

royalicing,
@royalicing@hachyderm.io avatar

@gruber I’ve been trying it for a month. I use both it and Safari at the same time. If you have a tonne of tabs that you want to keep open it’s way easier for me to manage than the squished tabs in Safari.

Navigating is really interesting — click on a link and it opens in a new child tab (instead of navigating the current tab). You have to try it to understand.

Yeah it’s $50 at the front door! Interesting model for sure. (I like from a developer point of view that it’s just a Stripe form.)

@gruber Cool! I have no affiliation with the author btw.

I can record a video of me using it. Any use cases you think would be good?

@gruber Horse browser changed their pricing. Now has a monthly option, and the others have increased.

@gruber I know I’m kicking myself for not getting the $99 lifetime price!

Hard to imagine Bluesky sticking around after this. At best, as an ActivityPub-compatible instance perhaps 😅

royalicing,

@stroughtonsmith My Instagram is personal, so unless I create a second account I’m unlikely to use Threads for work related posting. So Bluesky is attractive for that reason.

My web development tip:

Try to use your fancy JS web form while you're on a train. See if it still works. Most don't.

@tomw Trains & airports are chaos monkey for front-ends.

PSA: Content Security Policy makes no sense on static sites that aren't Web apps and just consist of ordinary pages of content (e.g blogs).

If you operate a personal blog (especially a bespoke one generated with templates and/or tools of your own making) or similar, PLEASE DO NOT ADD CSP DIRECTIVES. If you cargo culted them into your server configuration or <head>, please get rid of them. CSP is user hostile and more often than not just ends up breaking things (like bookmarklets).

royalicing,
@royalicing@hachyderm.io avatar

@colby oooh I never thought about bookmarklets. Browsers should probably allow them to run since it’s the user triggering them.

royalicing,
@royalicing@hachyderm.io avatar

@colby I mean browsers should ideally carve out a method to allow bookmarklets to safely operate. e.g. it could somehow treat scripts that were created via a bookmark to have elevated privileges.
