I personally keep it all (on iMessage) as a bit of personal history. Trying to see conversations I had with friends and family around fun/important events, searching to see if I ever went on a similar tirade about a product I’m about t

Even when I was a new user right as Reader was getting started, I didn't think it was clunky to be honest. I thought it was clear when I was using one vs. the other. The only problem I've ever had is that typing/saying "

Discord is really awful about this, and that's one of the many reasons I dislike it. Its defaults are bad. I should be able to set, at the account level, the default that servers don't send me notifications. I believe by default,

I use Apple Maps for all of my transit needs, but I still keep Google for business data and lists like this. I don't find the Apple Maps list set-up to be what I want from this kind of feature. I do find it reasonable to keep two map

When I was in college, my roommate (also a music student) and I would scream about how frustrated we were with Finale for notating out music. Reading the [review and seeing GIF examples][1] of the workflow of Dorico music notation software

We got a new video system at a work that is a bit beyond my knowledge, but the files it puts out are very big (read the Apple ProRes whitepaper to figure out which option on this system would give us the smallest video files). I've o

I think the phrase used here quite often is "security through obscurity" when it comes to links. The question is whether people feel comfortable with family photos falling under that principle. They're obviously not meant for

I was unaware there was copypasta on HN. I know this might be generally the sort of post that the site wants to avoid, but the phenomenon of copypasta within a given community still makes my heart smile a little bit.

For what it's worth, you can move Markdown -> Typst by way of Pandoc.

For the curious: There’s an API built into Mastodon to save timeline location on your account. Ivory is planning to support it, doesn’t currently, however it does save timeline location to iCloud, readable by Ivory on your other devices.

Out of every tool I’ve ever used to make a .docx file from Markdown, Pandoc is the only one that has consistent results with converting Markdown headers to Word styles rather than just a bigger font size. Lots of Markdown tools in my tool b

Part of the reason on iOS it takes longer, at least in my vault set-up, to begin throwing in a new note is that Obsidian has to finish syncing and show me notifications (that I wish I could turn off) from a plug-in I value before I can begi

Been using it for a few days now, and my biggest hope is that it gets a dedicated Mac app. I've been a bit disappointed with it so far in Unite. Maybe if I picked up Coherence it would work better?

nvALT was one of my "gateway" apps into really finding my happy place. Before nvALT I thought Apple Notes was sufficient for me. It really revealed to me what things I wanted to be using notes for that I wasn't. But I also

I agree that removing 3D Touch makes text editing worse (presumably — my XS Max still has it and I’ll discover this fall), but if you step back, hopefully you can understand its removal. Adding an entire extra layer to the display was far

Some time around 2016 or so, shortly after getting my first Mac, I started using this. It became my default audio/video player in less than a day.

I’m actually quite adept at my iPhone keyboard — one of many reasons I prefer the larger-sized phones. But I’m both actually faster (a solid 30 extra wpm) and feel less constrained when I’m typing on a full-size keyboard. There have been

That’s what they’ve replaced TextWrangler with, but if you look at the feature comparison page, the free tier seems to do so much more than TextWrangler did that it feels less accurate to call it that — I was never a TextWrangler user, thou

I like the completions of Sublime text a lot better for most tasks. ST’s packages are also really powerful and BBEDit isn’t extensible in the same ways (though it is through AppleScript and a host of other things). After the 30-day “trial”

As of today, there are so many incredible tools for Markdown — like Brett Terpstra’s Marked 2 and Christian Tietze’s Tableflip right off the bat — that make it so much more versatile. Obviously there are flaws, but if you find yourself work

IMO, Apple still sees it as very important that macOS is fairly attractive for developers. Of course they’re selling lots of MacBook Airs to college students, but outside of that… It’s not as if they want their CLI interaction to be 1-for-
