You know, I'm not sure the world needs a specific day where everybody lies to each other

The tough part about any interesting iPad software rumors is that — ok, what if this year does have some decent changes, will that be all the improvement we see for the next three years?And that's presuming the changes this year are real, dependable, high-quality longterm solutions, and not just lip service to some frustrated blog post or YouTube video from years ago.Last year, Apple instead simplified a bunch of iPad apps and took away sidebar navigation and complex layouts.

Throwback time to the first app I ever developed — 'SmallText X'. It had some weird features shoehorned in, and it never left my hard drive, but it was a pivotal component in my introduction to Mac OS X, UI design, and learning to build real, functional software (…in REALbasic, no less)(Screenshot of the earlier version of the project included for funsies)

Aside:Whoa I had no memory of Carbon's color picker, which is nothing like the Mac OS X one (which we still use today, and came from NEXTSTEP)

Trying out GPT-5's Agents feature: I gave it a screenshot of Broadcasts on iPad, and asked it to recreate it using Jetpack Compose using Material Design on Android. It built a whole Android Studio project and gave me back a zip file — it didn't run out of the box, but with a little bit of project settings tweaking…Well, it gave me this. Based on a screenshot. In a first pass

So how about a second pass, and a third pass, with a little bit of guidance?Remember, I handed it a screenshot. I didn't show it my app in action, nor did I give it any code to start with.This stuff is incredible — yes I know you people use Claude or whatever to do the same thing every day 😅

It now adapts down to a tab bar on a phone layout. Clown colors aside, this is getting pretty interesting

iOS fakes an infinite rotating dial by just making a really long repeating list, cause nobody would ever scroll all the way to the bottom, right? 😂https://mastodon.guerilla.studio/@tixie/115141321518325702

Apple would rather disable app tracking prevention in Europe entirely than to have to conform to the rules in its own apps that it imposes on third party developers.And then it tries to blame regulators and lobbyists for the situation.At every turn, Apple is determined to prove that it's a scummy company that can't remotely be trusted“Apple (…) holds itself to a higher standard than it requires of any third-party developer.
