> It installs, opening it is a simple message saying I need to enable it in Safari settings. Strange, but ok.

I’ve made several Safari extensions for iOS, and they all have to do this.

Apple provides no API for an app to enable its own Safari extension. It also has no public API on iOS to deeplink to the Settings page for enabling the extension. You just have to tell users where to go and hope they don’t get lost.

(There is an API on macOS to quickly open Safari extension settings. It’s nice! Maybe they’ll add it to iOS someday.)

Is this spam? They do not name the company or anyone involved. They mention a Reddit post, but don’t link to it.

I am aware that Microsoft and Apple have implemented fast window-switching slightly differently. I use both OSes daily. The point I was making was both make similar high-level design decisions.

When you begin alt-tabbing, you cycle between your other open windows, arranged by how recently they were last open. Cmd-Tab is the same, but between apps. Both features rearrange items only based on recency, and always keep the same order.

An interesting idea, but not something that would fit my workflow for several reasons (not the least of which is it's Windows-only).

Cmd-Tab on Mac and Alt-Tab on Windows does the same thing every time. Its consistency lets me use it extremely quickly, with confidence. It does what I want it to, every time. I don't wish to sound dramatic, but if I hit a shortcut with a window in mind, and this app picked the wrong window even once, I would uninstall it immediately. "Cmd-Tab, but it doesn't work sometimes" sounds frustrating and strictly worse than the system shortcut.

Maybe it should look more like GitHub Copilot. It watches what you're doing and shows a small indicator somewhere of the window it thinks you want to switch to. If the app guessed right, you hit a keyboard shortcut and switch to it. If the app guessed wrong, you just ignore the suggestion, like with Copilot.

I've tried tons and ended up on Notion. Works on every device, syncs well, supports rich embeds and easy publishing to the web. It really depends on your preferences. Anything works as long as it has cloud sync and half-decent search.

Some apps I've tried and liked: Apple Notes, Simplenote, Bear, Obsidian and Craft

I love using note-taking apps for this reason. They are a bottomless bucket into which you can throw unlimited unorganized thoughts. When you need them later, simply search.

That's a rude, tactless thing to say. People in many fields simply don't need more than a cursory knowledge of computers.

For example, I was talking about veterinarians. They need to type records into a web browser, but that's about it.

Veterinarians spend their time learning about things far more valuable to them. For example, which painkillers are safe to use on a cat recovering from surgery, or how to precisely drill into a dog's spinal cord to remove a fluid buildup that's robbed it of the ability to walk, or how to stabilize a dying animal in the emergency room.

These are the least "dumb" people imaginable. They do not need "upskilling" - they went to four years of medical school. They have more important things to do than figure out computer arcana.

I definitely got that impression reading the reviews of the OP's product. An associate comparing it to "a polished Apple product" shows the younger generation is used to decent software and would appreciate it at work.

(To other commenters, this is not an invitation to dunk on Apple. Please keep discussion on track)

This person is 100% correct that git will never see adoption outside the tech industry.

My partner worked as a veterinarian for several years, and it was fascinating to see how vets use computers. These were brilliant people - I knew three who did literal brain surgery. But they just had zero patience for computers. They did not want to troubleshoot, figure out how something worked or dive deeper. Ever. They didn't care! They were busy saving the lives of people's pets.

It was a good reminder there are many smart people who do not know computers work and do not care to. A good startup acknowledges this reality.

Same. It always had the nicest UI and interaction model, but the bugs ruined it for me over time.

There was a particularly annoying one where if I got to 31:20 on Show A on my phone, then play Show B on my Watch, the playback in B would jump to 31:20. This was brutal if you were somewhere around the 2-hour mark in Show B and have to find your place again.

Really hope the new owners can make everything work again.
