A year ago I thought to myself, "do I still need Ulysses?" I've used the app for many years, and I've even called it the best app full stop for Apple's platforms, but I was wondering if I needed to spend $30 per year on an app that published to

This weekend, the customizable Action button on the iPhone 15 Pro has driven Apple fans to the web to share their best Shortcuts ideas, from more advanced workflows to some that are perhaps more juvenile.

Apple Books launches Year in Review, a new in-app experience that helps readers to celebrate the titles, authors, and genres that defined their year.

Does anyone have any recommendations for a good Outliner for the Mac that also syncs to iPadOS? Ideally I’d like to be able to use the outline for presentations on the iPad having (mostly) written it on the Mac, so increasing font size and ease of use there is important. Printing outlines is occasionally important to me. Omnioutliner seems like a safe bet, but I do resent an $80 upgrade from essentials so I can get bold 🙂 and there has been some criticism of lack of development. W...

Mastodon has a reputation for a harboring a culture of ‘reply guys’. There is a culture of high engagement and reactions on people’s posts, which further alleviates the level and amount of replies that are annoying, irritating or demeaning. The account Mastodon Migration recently collected some posts by large accounts that all experience this issue, […]

A tiled web map, slippy map or tile map is a map displayed in a web browser by seamlessly joining dozens of individually requested image or vector data files. It is the most popular way to display and navigate maps, replacing other methods such as Web Map Service (WMS) which typically display a single large image, with arrow buttons to navigate to nearby areas. Google Maps was one of the first major mapping sites to use this technique. The first tiled web maps used raster tiles, before the emergence of vector tiles.

I am once again foolishly attempting to standardize the formatting of a tag. I presume there’s been some discussion about which is preferable etc. Standard formatting makes it easier to discover actual data entry issues and direct folks more cleanly to things needing human intervention and investigation (phone numbers missing digits, etc). I have a set of validator rules that standardize to the all dashes form but that just happened to be the most common in the dataset I first pulled (King Cou...

Don't be surprised if Twitter looks very different on the web in the near future. The social network has started rolling out a previously teased web redesign that, for starters, boasts a much simpler look -- the three-column view is gone in favor of a simpler (not to mention more vivid) two-column layout. It's thankfully about more than cosmetics, even if it doesn't have everything users might like.

A few weeks ago on AppStories, I mentioned to John that I was looking for the “Things of read-later apps”. What I meant is that I wanted to find an app to save articles for later that felt native to Apple platforms, had a reliable text parser, but, more importantly, featured deep Shortcuts integration to
