Nice work :) Your on-page hierarchical navigation looks like something you could do with existing navigation view transitions, disclosure groups, or an outline view, though the sticky header solution is cool. What UI patterns did you consid

While iOS is an umbrella term, the App Store is pretty clear about which devices an app supports. The device range is explained right beneath the screenshots, and the Compatibility section goes into more detail. In this case iPad isn't

It does except in recent marketing. iOS is still used as an umbrella term.

It's still one iOS SDK. As a developer and power user audience, we remember when iPhone OS was first renamed to iOS on iPad's release because they were the same. It hasn't been renamed back. Regarding usage, the term iOS deve

You do get used to the syntax, at which point returning to languages that are prefix here, infix there, statements one way, expressions another, can wrinkle your nose a bit. But syntactic patterns are a question of emphasis; they establish

These are great :) I'd like to do without file extensions again, but internet URL norms have now made that decision for all operating systems. But I'm still kicking Finder windows back into spatial mode three times a day.

My hunch is SEO combined with placing less responsibility on the programmer. The new docs have a page per code symbol, and much more focused single-page topic articles, rather than 20-page programming guides. Docs seem to be structured to a

I'd say, use a toolchain that gives you rapid iteration to the point that you try to keep up with it, rather than the other way around. For instance a hot reloading workflow has been common for web apps for some years, but in native mo

I'm not sure why this is a disliked post? Wouldn't mind a clue. I'm referring to the way they usually announce products right before they go up for sale, or announce software changes right before beta.

Apple has a long record of making decisions for users without presenting options about them. Having these problems solved for us rather than being bothered with them is part of what we've paid for all these years. But their audience is

Reading this I'm drawn to the idea that, if LLMs are so attractive to us as a productivity boost, and if they do that by synthesizing gobs of similar human output, then we have been asking humans too much for the same output as one ano

On iOS the Documents and Library folders exist per application in a sandbox, so those can be deleted with the app binary. Preferences like location permissions are reset too. But some things persist, like the app's related keychain dat

I feel like what you're describing is just marketing, in the sense of exaggerating the necessity of a product that works but which you really can do without. Or do you mean Gibson's products don't really work?
