Warbird posted:Looks like that may be due to Carrot pulling from a different weather source? Mine defaulted to Dark Sky’s and I presume Apple does the same as they own them. Carrot still pulls from Dark Sky by default but will probably change soon as the API shuts down in March I believe. The dev is currently waiting to hear from Apple on if their API will support over 40 mil (I think. Not looking it up right now) users as that's all they quoted for. You would think by common sense that Dark Sky and Apple Weather would now show the same data but they don't. Switching between them inside Carrot Weather confirms this

Carrot can be switched to other sources, though, and even personal/local stations. Dark Sky never worked well for me, so I use Carrot set to AccuWeather and the station at the elementary school three blocks from my house.

I don't know where Carrot gets its data, but if it's Dark Sky, it's not what Apple is using or supplies. I'm monitoring a ski area on the stock weather app, and Carrot reports like 8°C higher temperatures.

Wanted to share my favorite app of the last few months: Sweepy Sweepy is a chore list that serves you your daily tasks to multiple users. My wife and I aren’t the best at deep cleaning the house, so we turned to this app to help us deal out the chores. It has a bunch of template chore items, so it helped spark some ideas of what needed to be added. After about a day of setting up rooms and chores, we are moving smoothly. This weekend my wife commented about how helpful it was for her, and she felt like it was worth the money. Highly recommend!

What's the best iOS piano app? More specifically, looking for an app that's just a keyboard and emulates a grand piano sound. I got Reason Compact yesterday and it's pretty cool for basic on the go synth experimentation and similar to what I'd be looking for, but it has no piano sounds, or at least not free ones from what I could find. I'd be willing to pay for a good piano app provided it's not too expensive.

Anyone know of a pics app with widget support that doesn't suck hot garbage like Apple Photos at rotating through a selection of images? Edit: Photowidget : simple - close to what i want, but doesn't support the largest rectangle with a single image, it does two inside it instead :-/ Mister Facetious fucked around with this message at 12:13 on Jan 10, 2023 |

It has a ton of widget options but I think they all look like garbage but the photo widget is drop dead simple: pick a Photos album or pick images from Files.app and it displays them in either a small, medium, or large widget. It cycles through them on a nice interval and you can tap on the the widget to view the history of photos displayed. Violator fucked around with this message at 13:08 on Jan 10, 2023 |

Yeah, I'm looking for a 4x2 widget like Apple Photos has too. How often does Widgetsmith rotate, and is it random or linear? I don't see an option to configure it. Mister Facetious fucked around with this message at 20:24 on Jan 10, 2023 |

just posting about a couple extensions that I find really helpful https://underpassapp.com/StopTheMadness/   Search Ban - https://searchban.com quote:Search Ban is an iOS Safari web extension that removes spam and low value search results from search results. iPadOS, MacOS, and image search support coming soon. It comes with some built in filters and you can add more manually or by clicking the ban hammer:  I also like mapper, which redirects google maps links to Apple Maps: https://apps.apple.com/us/app/mapper-for-safari/id1589391989 Vinegar is a popular extension for better YouTube but in case you don’t know: quote:Vinegar also replaces the YouTube player (written in who-knows-what) with a minimal HTML <video> tag. Post extensions you like

mawarannahr posted:Post extensions you like Noir is great for auto-creating dark mode colour schemes for websites. It very occasionally gets things wrong but on the whole does a great job. And really highlights the missing functionality that extensions don’t work in the in-app Safari views - I get so used to being able to read pages at night in bed, and then forget I’m in-app and half blind myself with a (default) white scheme.

Sponsorblock for skipping commercials on YouTube within Safari. HyperWeb provides all sorts of benefits, including CamelCamelCamel + TrustReviews on Amazon, as well as prioritizing specific search result pages, and adblocking. Corb3t fucked around with this message at 04:31 on Jan 13, 2023 |

Cheap oval office won’t even pay rent, he must have resented a third party app getting subscription money.

I’m not sure any of the early adopter users have used anything but an iPhone app for Twitter in a decade +. I’m the same, always use 3rd party iPhone apps and have never seen an ad. Coq au Nandos posted:he must have resented a third party app getting subscription money. Can’t believe even Elon is that overzealous. To be realistic though it is/has been a bizarre situation (for maybe a decade?) to have a huge proportion of your most loyal and valuable customers using someone else’s app, via a deliberately degraded API, and with no way to even display ads to them. That, plus arbitrarily limiting the number of API users per app, and without any route for apps to pay for more/better access means they’ve just been throwing money away for such a long time.

I've been using Tweetbot for almost a decade and count me in as another who will ditch Twitter for good if I can't use Tweetbot anymore. Trying to go through tweets in the default app is an exercise in frustration.

I'm surprised it took Twitter this long to completely sunset third party app APIs - they probably hate that a huge subset of their users never sees sponsored or promoted tweets. It feels like most websites want a stranglehold on their "experience", which means they want to force users to download their app and not be able to bypass ads. If Reddit ever sunsets their third party app API, I'd be devastated.

From what I can tell there's no pattern to which apps got suspended or are still working so it feels to me like something in their infrastructure expired and whoever maintained that piece was fired in November. Or maybe Elon sorted the list of API users by queries made and killed off the top 20%. Who the gently caress knows with that clown.

Weedle posted:i really feel for the people who work on these third-party twitter apps and have spent this morning waiting to find out whether their job can exist anymore They've already all moved on to Mastodon anyway. Their API is already way better than Twitter ever was, and it's open source. I'm in 7 Mastodon TestFlights. It's really thriving. Ivory (by the Tweetbot guys) is predictably one of the best. wooger posted:But it’s entirely *their* choice that the API doesn’t include ads, promoted tweets and numerous other features. Exactly. It's baffling. Also, their embedded Tweets have always been a POS, as evidenced by the tech thread on these here forums being 90% about Twitter embeds. I had to implement them in an iOS app a few years ago, and they were dogshit to work with then too.

"Mastodon’s full-text search allows logged in users to find results from their own statuses, their mentions, their favourites, and their bookmarks. It deliberately does not allow searching for arbitrary strings in the entire database." There's movetodon for finding people from Twitter, if that's why you want search though

As per goon suggestion, I used SongShift free version to transfer all the thumbs-upped songs from one of my Pandora stations into an Apple Music playlist. I have the shift set up and it worked great the first time. Now, a few days later after I've thumbs-upped a few more songs, I wanted to update the AM playlist. I ran the shift again, and quickly, within a couple seconds it says it's complete, but the song counts didn't update, nor did the Apple Music playlist. Is this like a limitation of the free version where you can only do a shift once? I've made a new shift with the same parameters, deleted the AM playlist, and it runs and catches the updated song list just fine.

Your server is only aware of things that federate to it, so if I search for "taylor swift" on my server, I'm not necessarily going to see the same results as the Taylor Swift Mastodon server does. (also because that would require checking with every single other server)
