Very similar to this Kickstarter project but it wasn’t this. https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/nickolaspeter/a-hyper-minimal-calendar-for-2020
I remember coming across a full year calendar on a large single sheet that didn’t have weeks annoyingly split up at months. Can’t seem to find it now, anyone know what I’m talking about?
@jpeg Would love to see the Mac and iPad versions of Mast get some improvements as well. Better menu bar menus on Mac with keyboard shortcuts on both Mac and iPad (command+N for new Toot to start), remember window size and position on Mac, allow resizing of columns and hiding ones we don’t want to see on both …
@Gargron I don’t understand how the timeline syncing from Mastodon 3.0 is supposed to work. I thought I would be able to load mastodon.social on any browser and have my timeline position remembered from the last time I viewed it?
@JPEG so happy to have username autocomplete in the newest beta!
@mastonaut will you be adding the new timeline syncing to your app so that it syncs last read position with the web and other apps? You can read about the API in the Mastodon 3.0 announcement post here: https://blog.joinmastodon.org/2019/10/mastodon-3.0-in-depth/
One trick to make your MacBook Pro feel a bit more modern is the Displaperture app. It can set a custom rounded corner for your display. Really hoping it keeps working for a long time to come since they’ve marked it as retired.
Sad that one of the first things I noticed on the new 16” MBP is much more light leaking out of the key edges when viewed from a low angle compared to my 2016 model. Hard to capture in photos but very noticeable in person and something I loved about the butterfly keyboard.
@jpeg it would also be nice to have long-press on the timeline and DM tabs to open the Toot composer. Maybe do something special in the DM composer to first show all of the people you follow along with a search field.
@jpeg just discovered the long press functionality on the search tab in Mast 2, very nice! Would be interesting to see the search bar stay attached to the keyboard with the results above. That’s an idea I’ve been thinking about to keep the input field close to the keyboard so you can actually see what you’re typing and the keyboard at the same time.
@JPEG do you know if you’ll be bringing the new cross-platform timeline syncing feature to Mast 2 yet? That is the killer feature for me that I’m really hoping to see from some devs soon.
@tapi hrmmm, I'm not sure I understand how to use this. At least when I type that into Wolfram Alpha it just gives me this: https://www.wolframalpha.com/input/?i=y+%3D+180+×+sin%28.22+×+x%29 which doesn't seem to give me a result as any sort of set of numbers from 0 to 180?
Math question … if I want to get from 0 to 180 in 30 steps with a nice ease at the start and end, is there some kind of formula or tool I could use to figure it out? Trying to create a frame-by-frame animation of a rotation from 0 to 180º with an ease both in an out.
So very blessed to have these two in my life (and our other pupper Buddy, not pictured)
Getting some Plume SuperPods tomorrow to try out to potentially replace my Eero WiFi system. Looking forward to trying them out, seems like a super interesting system.
Is there really no way to simulate a 4” device in Apple’s simulator anymore? Seems important to be able to test UI at the smallest screen size 😕
@JPEG for both the home and notification timelines!
@JPEG super excited that apparently there is now an API for “last read toot” markers to keep timeline position synced between apps. Part of the recent Mastodon 3.0 release. Hoping this will be added to Mast!
And by “video editor” I mean a video editing app, not a person. Just looking to try a Hyperlapse style effect on some vacation videos.
