@lachlanjc0Got my iPhone 12 Pro today! The reviews super undersold how fabulous the new design is. Huge fan. Pacific Blue is perfect.
@lachlanjc0Here’s what my regular desk setup looks like. Since the development you can do on the iPad locally is extremely limited (you can’t run Node, for example), I’m running all the code on a remote Linode server. I use the Blink Shell app to connect over Mosh, then code using Vim inside Tmux. External display support on iPad isn’t that capable (most apps just mirror with pillarboxing), but it allows using a more ergonomic setup with a much larger display. The iPad is right below the display on a Compass Pro stand, so it can still do Face ID seamlessly, I can reach out & use the Apple Pencil or touch gestures when I want, but I mostly use Apple’s Magic Trackpad since it has the best system integration & multi-finger multitasking gestures. The keyboard is a Kinesis ergonomic keyboard, connected over USB alongside the HDMI & charger plugged into Apple’s USB-C adapter. For design work, I use Figma inside an iOS client called Figurative that gives support for local fonts. I also use Working Copy for editing Git repos locally (mostly writing documentation & workshops), alongside Secure Shellfish which adds my Linode box directly into the Files app. While I’m developing, I switch over to Inspect browser which gives basic, though certainly less capable than Safari’s, web inspector with CSS control & JavaScript console. I also use an app called Shiftscreen for viewing files & certain web apps (Slack, Google Docs, etc) in full-screen on the external display. When I’m away from my desk, the same 1.4lb, 5.9mm, multi-touch, Apple Pencil-capable slab of glass with better battery life than any MacBook carries all the same apps. It’s my favorite computer ever :)
@linus0Woah this is cool, it's super easy to make a a simple text editor in iOS, it has bolding and and underlining and italics and has support for images!
@matthewgleich0Finally finished setting up my new macOS instance! Crazy how much space I saved. I was using ~750GB on my last instance now I am only using ~120GB with everything installed!
@jessding0made a tiny little app today! scooting further along in my iOS learning journey inch by inch. Also, I got an offer today! exciting stuff
@linus0I took a nice walk in the rain in the park near my house. I also got into the Apple Schoolwork TestFlight.
@daiwik0Did not do much today. So here is my MacBook Pro covered in Stickers
@lachlanjc0Had a productive day, though I took a break to watch the :appleinc: Apple Event with @matthew. (Not buying anything yet, somehow!) Made the first version of unified transaction lists on :bank-hackclub: Hack Club Bank (pictured below!), improved the 🧾 receipt experience for the new Stripe Issuing cards. (Lots more coming there.) Also worked with @christina695 at the end of the day, bringing some design polish to a slide deck for an upcoming donor call.
@23neil.g0Text on Big Sur Dark Mode is pretty cool. Also join #flex
@lskaling0I finally received a few posters I ordered a while back, including this one of a quote from Steve Jobs
@linus0Hacking around with some private apis in macOS!
@safin.singh0A factory reset, 5 disk wipes, 3 failed installations, and a network boot later...
@winston0my fam all got new phones, and so did i!!! i got the iphone 11 🙂 ! upgraded from the 7+ lol. no more fingerprints, but there is face id + water resistance. apparently, the iphone 11 can go up to 2 meters for 30 minutes and not break. time to test that out XD
@winston0might get a new iphone 👀 , played krunker lol, worked on my website again 💻 , ate yummy sea salt seaweed 😋 , and happy that my school starts very late 😁 ! (no beach today) 😞 also, hopefully getting some stickers!
@linus0I'm working on notarizing my app, it's interesting.
@austin0Omgomg my jah pods came in :parrotdad: (free if u buy an iPad as a student)
@linus0Today I added in Deep Linking into my Notes App. It was surprisingly easy to do. Now you are able to click a link, and the app will open to that specified note!
@lachlanjc0Every two weeks, @christina695 & @zrl & I write a newsletter to Hack Club’s biggest donors & supporters. Though they look simple, we each spend many hours planning, writing, editing, revising, & testing them. They’ve been an incredibly useful tool for our fundraising, so as we send out new ones, we open source old ones, six weeks behind. Since I’ve been writing our latest issue, I’ve also published our issue from May 20. Here’s a video of the shortcut I made on my iPad to publish!
@malte0Uploading 6.4 Gigabyte of RAW photos to my iPad via AirDrop. This. Is. Slow.
