 I know you all were jonesing for my take on the #AppleEvent invite, and I simply must give the people what they want. I'm glad @dgriffinjones included me as the de facto voice of my generation (with apologies to my generation). https://www.cultofmac.com/828686/what-could-wonderlust-mean/ New blog post: Plussing your iOS app https://lickability.com/blog/plussing-your-ios-app/ I love direct, actionable things that help improve something. Long term, abstract goals have their place (“anchor designs around your brand's visual style!”) but sometimes, you deserve a little objectivity. As a treat. Here's an are.na channel with even more: https://www.are.na/sam-henri-gold/low-risk-high-reward-design-tips

@samhenrigold I chuckled every time I saw `playerLayerWithPlayer` (5-7-5 haiku?) when I worked on a podcasting thing in the before time 😅  @samhenrigold I'm _ERROR_Buffer_ReadWrite__Too_Small_For_Arguments_To_vImage__CheckBacktrace joke lyrics from this tumblr post i think about constantly https://www.tumblr.com/hostbusters/126931825584/chocolate-by-the-1975-lyrics wild how consumer reports still docks points off a computer for lacking an optical drive I was skeptical that I needed to preview this pocket folder in my space in AR but I’m glad I did. @samhenrigold My guess was going to be some kind of menstrual product. Was NOT prepared for the actual answer 🤣 Going to the vet with an old (15) dog is really great because you'll go in for skin problems and leave with:  web design kinda freaks me out. too much space. i’m this close to saying “screw it, everything is clamped to 800x600”

 I use 1024x768 as a baseline because people do still use laptops with these kinds of screens. I tried a wider layout in the early days of Smithereen, but it turns out longer lines of text are harder to read. It was kinda at this point that I decided to give up on trying to be original and just build a pixel-perfect copy of VK's old design instead.  Nice to see that this stupid 2FA popup has carried over to the modern macOS all the way from the 90s. lemme tell you, having a text shortcut to this post link has paid off in spades. https://clagnut.com/blog/2419 had a rager of a weekend (I figured out a way to gracefully degrade icon web fonts so if FontAwesome fails to load, the chevrons can fall back to unicode arrows →) I still keep the now-broken HBO Max app on my Apple TV to remind me of when times were simpler.

@samhenrigold making customers choose between a burrito and your product is not a good marketing strategy. |

According to macOS dictionary, "wonderlust" isn't an English word. But anyway, I'm so looking forward to the end of distinction between "iPhone chargers" and "Android chargers". We'll just have one "everything charger".
