Today the internet has brought me a thread of people on Twitter complaining about PCalc being featured on the Vision Pro store:

I cannot get over the dichotomy between how much nicer the Solo Knit band looks versus the Dual Loop band, and how much more comfortable the Dual Loop is 😭

EshuMarneedi,
@EshuMarneedi@mastodon.social avatar

@christianselig Weirdly, I think the Solo Knit feels much more comfortable than the Dual Loop.

There's been a wave of great Vision Pro videos from lesser-known YouTubers that easily beats most of the people who got early review units. If I were Apple PR, I would be changing up my preferred media list

@stroughtonsmith Cleo is fantastic. She was previously at Vox, I think — should definitely get on the PR list.

Made the mistake of wearing the Vision Pro at a coworking space and some youths saw it through the window and started yelling “YOOOOO Vision Pro!! yoooooo” so now I’m going to my hotel

EshuMarneedi,

@gruber @chrisgrande Interesting. Mine said to remove it to begin the update. Maybe that was removed in 1.0.1?

World-changing technology is only obvious in hindsight; it's quite plausible that a child born today is going to have visionOS-based glasses by the time they are a teenager, instead of a smartphone. They will quite literally perceive the world completely differently to how we do today. How do we plan for that?

EshuMarneedi,
@EshuMarneedi@mastodon.social avatar

@stroughtonsmith They also won't use Google because generative AI will take over the world by then. Articles and books and YouTube videos may be out of date too.

Interesting times ahead!

:appicon_ivory: Ivory v1.8.3(iOS) is now available on the App Store! This is a tiny release that fixes a couple bugs and fixes some issues we've found when running on VisionOS in compatibility mode. Those of you lucky enough to get a VisionPro in a few days, please let us know if you spot any big issues.

Also, here's a high resolution render of Ivory the elephant for you to enjoy as a desktop background or iOS/iPadOS wallpaper:

Not to fact-check a fun blog post or anything, but, no, visionOS doesn't have circular checkboxes.

Like iOS, it doesn't include a checkbox control at all in UIKit, just a toggle switch.

Like iOS, back to the stone age, there's a standard circular checkmark for multi-selecting items in a table view or grid.

And, also like iOS, there's a square checkbox in WebKit.

@stroughtonsmith I don’t know what they have against checkboxes! I think they’re perfectly natural on a touchscreen.

    Apple rejected Runestone for visionOS, stating that it does not include a button that allows users to restore previous purchases but…

    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!

    🎙️ 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

    An image of Citations on visionOS with a finished citation.
