🎙️ Been working on an awesome visionOS app that you'd love to show off now that device preorders are only a week away?

Drop it in the replies here; if you'd like to be boosted, include:

1️⃣ a screenshot or video
2️⃣ a link-out to your site or App Store page
3️⃣ use the hashtag

Assume the reader knows nothing about you or your projects: what is your app, what does it do?

Remember you can edit posts if you forget something, and mute the hashtag for a period if you don't want to participate

@stroughtonsmith Little late to this, but I’m bringing my citation creation app for school papers to visionOS. I don’t expect much of a market, but thought I’d share it anyway since there are so few apps on this platform.

Citations lets you make citations in a variety of formats and is completely free. (It’s already available on iOS and macOS.)

I look forward to downloading all of these other amazing indie apps when I get my Vision Pro in a couple weeks! https://apps.apple.com/us/app/citations/id6444069568

CNET has gone to shit. Truly. Which is a real shame — CNET used to be the tech news website, alongside The Verge (This Is My Next) and Engadget (where This Is My Next came from). Now, it's SEO spam written by AI bots to get you to click affiliate links.

They know what gets the clicks, they know they don't have to exert effort writing that content themselves, and they know how to make money from those clicks. It's dirty, cheap, and frankly disgusting. Shame.

Having an existential crisis with periods in acronyms. NYT Style adds periods (P.V.D.) and AP doesn’t (PVD).

This company is so moronic, holy shit. I’m genuinely furious.

My app, Citations, just got rejected by App Review because I mentioned Apple Vision Pro in the goddamn release notes. WHAT?! How is Apple Vision Pro “pre-release” when I can buy it?

Also, ALSO, Apple Vision Pro is marketed on THE FRONT PAGE of the App Store!

No wonder everyone is pulling their apps off of this thing! What the hell is this moronic policy? When can I submit and not get rejected?

@rejected, this one’s for you!

Interesting. Apple says the visionOS Simulator will include a beta version of the App Store in a later build coming “this fall.” I’m excited! https://www.macrumors.com/2023/09/05/visionos-app-store-coming-in-fall/

The personalized Apple Music station I think is Apple Music's best feature. I do wish it acted more like a never-ending playlist instead of a station, however, similar to the “Autoplay” feature, where you can rewind and see which tracks are coming next.

Here's hoping for iOS 60 (more like visionOS 37) when we're all dead and gone and our great, great grandchildren finally remember that “Music” is an app Apple makes.

Back on the action button during these stupid-ass game demos:

This is actually very nice. I always keep my phone on mute and if you don't, you're a stupid heathen and I want you to unfollow me. This finally makes that space on iPhone useful.

I get a kick out of knowing that ESPN’s CMS uses Markdown. (I’m guessing the author mistakenly put a space between the square brackets and the parentheses.)

Apparently Apple Music for Mac has rabid fanbois (they are all men. All of them) and they are on Threads?! Of all the truly shitty products to stan, you want to defend Apple Music on the Mac?! I’ll defend Apple Music on iOS, even tho sync is a shit show, but on the desktop?! Man normies are weird.

EshuMarneedi,
@EshuMarneedi@mastodon.social avatar

@film_girl I noticed this too. I complained about how you can't close the settings menu with ⌘W on Threads a few weeks ago and the fanbois came after me.

The Music app on macOS feels like an Electron app. It's genuinely abhorrent.

@stroughtonsmith I still check my Threads account’s mentions from time to time on Mastodon. I think more people should do the same.

Update: AI will not be a topic at next week’s Apple event. Turns out the paraphrased quote from CNBC was inaccurately characterized. https://9to5mac.com/2024/05/02/tim-cook-confirms-apple-will-discuss-big-plans-for-ai-at-next-weeks-ipad-event/
