I came across this great post and wanted to share it on. I’m starting to use Pixelmator a lot more these days with photo editing on the cheap. It’s actually turned into a really nice app and is installed on my Mac and iOS devices.
Using Apps that get out of the way
I realised the other day that the apps I’m using these days are doing a good job of getting out of the way and letting me get on with my day.

The biggest difference between Apple Music and Spotify
I’ve been testing different music app subscriptions for the last 6 months going between the main three.

As I wrote about before WordPress is dropping the standard posting method for the block editor. I’m pleased to report in the latest v17 update on iOS you can still use the existing method we are used to.
