Really interesting trying out the new iPad Pro’s in an Apple Store yesterday. Particularly:

Hover:
My older Pro doesn't have this - really useful to see brush size and shape!

Barrel Roll:
Works really well. When you compare it to using a pen tablet on the Mac (using arrow keys to rotate a brush), it’s a natural drawing experience.

Squeeze & Haptics:
Unlike double tap (which I ended up turning off) this worked fantastically. Made drawing flow much easier having access to tools like that

@jonhicks Did you see or try the nano screen at all?

@brandon What … what does that even mean?

I'm aware of Pika, Scribbles, and Bear. What other blogging platforms are out there that aren't the usual suspects (WP, Squarespace, etc).

@robb I really enjoy self-hosted Craft but definitely not for those looking to just create a quick site with minimal setup.

@robb Makes sense. Was Ghost on the radar too? Didn’t know if that counted on the usual suspect list. :)

I filled up my bird feeder this morning, and a huge red-tailed hawk just blasted out of the trees and snagged a bird from the feeder!

@brad_frost But did you then hear Sir David Attenborough narrating the event?

Two years on the job as of today.

I think that’s a professional record I haven’t broken since… 2019? 😬

@jgarber Where are you at nowadays?

What I’d like from today’s Apple iPad event:

  • Camera on the long side of the iPad (where it belongs)
  • Longer battery life
  • Faster processor (duh)
  • To not have Sherlocked 🙏

@gedeonm @jonhicks I was curious about that too. Listening to Jason Snell and Myke Hurley talk about it in the latest episode of Upgrade, it sounded like the nano texture was probably best if you’re specifically using the device in bright light, but not as great if you care about picture quality in general.

@jonhicks @gedeonm Haha yeah that was the question I asked that they answer later in the episode, but essentially it's a different treatment to the glass than the monitors. (As I understand it, the monitors have microscopic holes in them or something to make the matte effect, where the iPad screens are a glass treatment instead.)

@jonhicks @gedeonm I don't think the nanotexture glass on the iPad will add any feeling of paper-like texture, but I haven't tried them to say that for certain.

Have you tried the Paper-like screen covers?
