After all these years, I like my terminals in monochrome, but I expect GUIs to be "light mode". To each its own, but don't get me started on syntax highlighting, everybody seems to enjoy their terminal prompts looking like a

Even Steve changed when the App Store was launched, of course!

In terms of MIDI grooveboxes, I see Polyend Tracker and Square Hapax are interesting, but they are not cheap either.

Thanks! I was not aware of those, go figure. In that case I understand that Setapp can "phone home" and update the apps if necessary, not the apps themselves.

by pantulis 3y ago
You are correct. That's why Sparkle is still relevant these days and of course it requires the app to phone home. Interesting things could happen with third party App Stores if they ever see the light in macOS.

I always used to think that accessibility is for blind people, text readers and all that shit. Turns out that over the years accessibility ends up catching you one way or the other.

Dystopia is excellent not only because it's free but because it is great for people with poor eyesight like myself, allowing for pretty big fonts that are broken on the official iOS Reddit App. The only alternative way I've found

Product-wise I'd argue that Evernote was in the middle of a deshitification but was financially running on fumes, and the move to Electron was the right one although the release was rushed and it alienated the user base. I find it int

It seems Bending Spoons is on a shopping spree, it would be interesting to know how they are leveraging the financials for this. In terms of technology prowess they do not seem to be lacking.

I'm not sure I follow when you say "it's not impossible". I would rephrase that as "it's useful", as is it's productive to work with the tools we have. But in the end we all know that new physics nee
