Is that meant to be a joke? I've been on HN for over a decade. Closer to ELIZA's era than that of LLMs. I'm curious because I'm also interested in hacking the Reminders app via its API, to add some features in a side app
One thing I miss from the Newton was the universal design it had for accessing app data and extending apps that made such add-ons to the built-in apps relatively easy.
While traveling in another country, I once forgot my iPhone passcode (don't ask, I'm autistic like that) After a few retries it put me on a 2 hour timeout. I had to get back to my room. I knew the way back on foot well enough, about 30 minutes away, but I wanted to take a look at the map anyway. I thought I'd try it on my Apple Watch Ultra 3. It was a few months ago so it was the latest OS. There were a few bugs in t…
On the watch it can be better to dictate than type anyway.
Certainly not going to hold my wrist up to my mouth on a noisy street and yell at my watch until it gets the names of foreign streets right lol
Great evolution story. Also love seeing what can be achieved by stepping outside design lines, re. centred, symmetrical UIs. Makes me want an apple watch ;) As an aside there's a screenshot in the article showing the Hidden Valley at Glen Coe, which happens to be one of my favourite short walks in Scotland. A less happy aside of that aside is the house at the base of the valley. I used to look at it dreamily as we dr…
And as a further coincidence, I met Jimmy Saville about 25 years ago. I was in Leeds hospital after a heart operation, and this old and somewhat scruffy track suited guy just walks in to the ward and starts talking to me. I had no idea who he was. After he left, a nurse asked “did you speak to Jimmy?”. It was creepy and unnerving seeing first hand how he just got to roam around.
I can confirm, the graffiti-covered Saville residence has almost completely been demolished.
About the map itself, here's a comparison with our own base style on the location in Scotland of the last capture.
Normal style : https://cartes.app/#16.13/57.290344/-6.171279 Outdoor style : https://cartes.app/?style=outdoors&terrain=oui#16.13/57.2903...
It's interesting to see the wide variations that can be designed. May styling is choosing between an infinity of possibilities !

Nice try, Claude Code

When I look at the in app purchase prices on the App Store page, it tells me what they’re for? (1 month vs 1 year). You can usually assume that if you see a different price for the same name item, that it’s a sale price.
Good to know: My screenshot was from the web version of the app store page (see link in my first post), the iOS-version shows month or year as you said. The premium yearly subscription has 3 price points shown (22.99, 34.99 and 44.99€) - I feel really bad for the developer as their customers are reminded that they have to pay more than others have paid before. I don't get why Apple is showing the old prices.

That’s a bad name.
That is one functionality, but there is also the "Start Workout" reminder / "Pause Workout" reminder / "End Workout" reminder. These are the ones that I'd have to change, particularly the "Start Workout" reminder. However, I do want that, I just don't want it to be a persistent screen takeover.

Maybe some people are too young to remember Apple's Maps v1. Even Tim Apple recently mentioned that debacle in what was essentially an exit interview.
I recently switched back to Google Maps after Apple announced ads were coming to Apple Maps, since if the default Maps app is going to be saddled with ads on my thousands of dollars worth of Apple hardware anyway , I may as well use the best. And yeah, let’s be honest, Apple Maps is good enough for most use cases, but Google Maps blows it out of the fucking water. In that light, I may be hard pressed to call it a deb…
Only reason to use Google nowadays for me is travel in countries where neither Apple nor OSM have good coverage.
