@JeroenSchaper Hm, same with me. I escape from Fantastical every 12 months, then survive one without it, and then I am back. My Fantastical spending cycle is a year and a bit :)

V naší krajině je hojný pták, co dělá zhruba ci-ci-ci-ci-ci-cít. Často ho slýchám a dlouho jsem se marně snažil dopátrat, co je zač. Včera jsem díky @davidvalouch zjistil, že je to strnad. Nemám k tomu žádnou drtivou životní pointu, jen že je hezký mít sociální sítě, kde můžou probíhat takovýhle jednoduchý interakce. Díky, Davide! Sledujte Davida, píše hezky o ptácích.

@stroughtonsmith This is actually the first Vision app that I find interesting.

sandropennisi, to random

I guess it was a good decision to launch my app next week. Because everyone is already talking about Vision Pro and I even read that first reviews will already arrive tomorrow (don't know if this is true).

Anyway, here is the full icon. Don't wanna spoil more yet though 😄

@sandropennisi Awesome icon!!

I've been playing with today and I've gone from skeptical to in love. I've never felt so much at the center with any search service before. I guess that's what a service where the user is the customer, not the product looks like.
I'm really considering paying €10/m... for a search service!

@sesivany I’ve been a customer since like ever, and I wouldn’t be able to go back.

@sesivany Have you tried the Kagi Summarizer browser extension? That’s a real game-changer.

To be honest, I'm saddened by the fact that Degauss has disappeared from the recent System Settings.

The current macOS System Settings screenshot does not highlight or return anything for the term "Deg." This indicates that Degauss is no longer supported. Sad panda.

I saw somebody ask if you can have more than one video playing at a time on visionOS, or if it's like iPad.

The Simulator suggests that yes, you can have multiple videos playing side by side. Here are two different Safari windows, one playing YouTube and the other playing Apple's Guided Tour

@stroughtonsmith I wonder what happens to the final output FPS when both videos have different framerates.

The real reason to order

@zmk TBH, it’s pretty good. It's pricey, sure, but it’s the only cloth I’ve been using to clean my two screens in two years (I machine-wash it occasionally).

Občanka v mobilu začíná zítra už teď je ale ke stažení na Google Play. 💪

  1. ledna naběhne zákonná povinnost pro centrální úřady přijímat eDoklady. Dobrovolně je mohou začít přijímat i další úřady, soukromé firmy nebo i fyzické osoby. Další státní subjekty pak mají jasně stanovené termíny, od kterých musí eDoklady brát. Doufáme ale, že to stihnou i dřív! Třeba policie v terénu prý stihne už duben. (1/4)

@keddie Aplikace je moc pěkná (testuji iOS). Moc by se mi líbily ještě dvě věci:

• lepší (respektovat systémové nastavení velikosti písma, zvýšeného kontrastu, zatím chybí tmavý mód, kteří někteří lidé používají ne proto, že je fancy, ale protože ho lépe vidí);

• aplikace na watchOS (abych nemusel nosit mobil, až půjdu někam dělat nekázeň :)

Ale jinak je super! Ještě design kartiček, ale to je jiný příběh.

Just in time for my birthday! Thank you @flarup for pouring your soul into this at a time where the industry is prompting its way to mediocrity.

Also, I’m happy that Dash-kun made it this time! 🥲 🚆 📚

@maffeis I remember that @gruber wrote in one of the first articles about the first iPhone that we should expect steady incremental updates, and nobody knows what the future holds. Slowly, incrementally updating, we got the powerhouses we have today.

I am excited to share that I just launched my new portfolio featuring a range of design projects I worked on at and – https://vancura.design.

Key highlights include:
• Visual Studio for Mac 17 Shell
• High-Density Fluent
• Welcome Screen for Xamarin Studio & Visual Studio for Mac
• Xamarin macOS Application Icons

I still want to add a lot, but that needs to wait until I recharge a bit. Let me invite you to the portfolio’s humble beginnings.

Můj nejdelší příspěvek na blog ever - Rokopis 2023; zmiňuju tam mimo jiné i to, že jsem si udělal profily všude možně, včetně Mastodonu... a ono tu nic není poslední dva měsíce :( jenže po pravdě, na Mastodon bych si dneska asi úplně nevsadil. Ale taky je pravda, že v těch předpovědích dvakrát dobrý nejsem :) https://zbiejczuk.com/blog/2023/12/rokopis-2023/

Baby steps on my quest to ipadify Godot.

Here I show a SwiftUI panel that will replace the Godot version (they run concurrently right now).

Perhaps I should start a blog series on these design decisions - native iPad menus:

@Migueldeicaza I know someone who can draw new ones :)
