Pleasantly surprised by The Afterparty. The poster art made it look like a shameless Knives Out wannabe, but no; it's a well-executed “everyone sees the same events in different ways”, where each episode has a pretty distinct presentation/genre. (one is almost a music video)
Doesn't feel much like a whodunnit, but it's entertaining and nicely-constructed!

A tip, if you use music recognition on iOS: uninstall the Shazam app!

Without the app, the view that opens after recognition is much nicer. It's noticeably faster to load, and the “add to playlist” UI loads instantly. A nice quality of life improvement.

@alexkaessner Ack, good point—knowing Apple, probably not.
Or maybe just in the EU 😁

Say, how do you currently rewrite your Git history?

(and, I should have asked from the start: please do reply with the name of the app/extension you use, if you're in that case!)

Cykelero,
@Cykelero@mas.to avatar

@schwa Interesting, thanks! Can you describe what you mean by precise?

Cykelero,
@Cykelero@mas.to avatar

@schwa Ah, that makes sense! Because GitUp doesn't display commit messages in its graph.
In VSC, do you use a particular extension?

Cykelero,
@Cykelero@mas.to avatar

@schwa That's interesting stuff—thank you!

Usually, I don't share all the music I listen to, but I'm curious to know if there's any other crazy person like me out there who listens to music of this genre.

Sometimes I fall asleep to this playlist.

Cykelero,
@Cykelero@mas.to avatar

@simonemargio I don't know these at all—do you have a link to the playlist, or to a public copy of it?

It’s funny that YouTube for iOS et fam refused to implement the OS-provided Handoff functionality but instead implemented a much buggier, less good “continue watching” functionality that doesn’t even match timestamps.

Cykelero,
@Cykelero@mas.to avatar

@rosyna Which is surprising, considering how bad (in my experience) Crunchyroll's UI is overall. It's always so nice to see Handoff done (well), though!

According to macOS Sonoma's dev release notes back in September, it was supposed to prevent apps from stealing focus at random times, at least in part. But I don't think I've noticed any change—has anyone?

Something I’ll miss about TikTok: when a song gets trapped in your head a few days, you can VERY easily find videos other people have set it to, and get a sense of how everyone else relates to the music.

Track threads have been a joy on that platform I’ve never seen anywhere else.

Cykelero,
@Cykelero@mas.to avatar

@clarko Oh, dang, I wonder what TikTok would/will look like, after North Americans lose access. It's a big part of the videos I see there!

Alright, hands up everyone ✋

Who uses the Terminal in such a narrow frame?

Never seen this. It looks quite comfy :BlobhajBlanketBlue:

Cykelero,
@Cykelero@mas.to avatar

@ctietze I did that for a long time! In all apps with single-column layouts, I'd resize the windows to portrait orientation—it felt like it made more sense, like a sheet of paper, and optimized for more legible line widths; and made using multiple apps side-by-side possible.

Eventually stopped doing it for the Terminal, because most CLI programs expect/require a very wide screen, and terminals are terrible at wrapping text in the first place. But it sure felt nice!

Cykelero,
@Cykelero@mas.to avatar

@ctietze Actually, the first design sketches of Retcon (like this one from May 2019) were about a vertical, one-column window!
The idea was to allow using Retcon side-by-side with your IDE. That meant a lot of tricky design problems to solve, such as making up a new diff presentation, which wouldn't show the contents of deleted lines.
Really interesting work, but that ultimately felt too limiting. Would love to revisit the idea someday though.

Cykelero,
@Cykelero@mas.to avatar

@ctietze I really should set up a blog at some point! Writing this stuff up would be a blast.

I didn't know about NV being vertical. That's really nice!

I'm intersted in buying a drawing tablet for some blender stuff and had the following thought: hey I have an old iPad Pro and an apple pencil, maybe I can use that?

All of the advice online is that it's possible but it's a miserable slog and never quite works well enough :/

Cykelero,
@Cykelero@mas.to avatar

@PadraigOCinneide Before learning Blender, I thought a good GUI had to be consistent with the platform's conventions.
Blender showed me another very valid way: it mostly ignores platform conventions, but is extremely consistent within itself.
That's what makes learning it a joy: new interactions you learn build on what you know; and every new feature you understand multiplies with all others you've learned so far.

Try Wilderless 1.9 for free in the iOS Open beta test:

testflight.apple.com/join/8zIIxsqW

Any feedback is welcome, with a focus on app-breaking bugs and performance feedback. And if anyone has M1 iPads im curious how high settings can go. Release notes below:)

1.9

Cykelero,
@Cykelero@mas.to avatar

@protopop (the TestFlight link doesn't appear clickable, at least in Ivory)

Cykelero,
@Cykelero@mas.to avatar

@protopop Yep, it's a paid iOS/macOS client for Mastodon.
I think you have to include the "https" part for the link to be clickable!

Copy and pasting worked; the game looks so nice and cozy, I'm looking forward to giving it a try :)

People have their mind blown every time I show them the Places map in Photos—which blows my mind in turn. That view is so useful and fun! But only nerds seem to know about it.

Cykelero, to Youtube
@Cykelero@mas.to avatar

I can't find this again: a while ago, someone wrote a tool that'd create a webpage from any YouTube tutorial.

The generated page would show frames from the video, with the associated subtitles for each; so you could read the page like a step-by-step tutorial, instead of slowly watching the actual video.

Does anyone remember what the tool was?

Cykelero, to macos
@Cykelero@mas.to avatar

Sonar looks so good! Crazy how much better the workflow seems to be, with its completely rethought UI, even though the underlying data is the exact same.

The app's website has plenty of short videos; each one is almost enough to sell me on the app on its own. Delightful.

@shahor I think App Store apps can't reliably publish their prices, because of how Apple manages price points across countries.
Looking at the store page, looks like Sonar is just 45€/year in France.

I hate documentation teasing something, then not delivering

@ctietze In those cases there's just one thing to do,

Four years of my life, $2M invested, thousands of customers, and a product+team+brand I couldn't be prouder of.

A retrospective on my time building Muse: https://adamwiggins.com/muse-retrospective

Cykelero,
@Cykelero@mas.to avatar

@adamwiggins Still reading the article, but: the tension you describe between respecting your values, and making a viable business, is something I really dread with the app I'm currently building. I really don't want to compromise on my ethics and creative goals, but that might mean the app never becomes profitable—which would doom it in turn. Yikes!

@lx Heya! Thank you for creating your xkcd bot!

I was wondering—have you considered having the bot post the high-res (Retina) version of each comic, instead of the 1x version?

Cykelero,
@Cykelero@mas.to avatar

@lx Ohh, thanks for the upgrade! I'll look for it next time I see the bot post
