Over on The Sweet Setup, I wrote a quick review of the Twelve South Curve laptop stand. It’s my laptop stand of choice, mainly because it’s smaller, lighter, and (oddly) more portable than the Rain Design mStand or other stands I have stuffed away in my closet.
After the review was published, Twelve South’s founder Andrew Green forwarded me a link to the history of the Curve laptop stand. Definitely worth checking out.

Ross Kimes on a little app he’s developing to make posting to a Jekyll-based blog from an iOS device a breeze:
Reposit lets me take a Markdown file from Ulysses, my writing app of choice, and publish it with one tap from the system share sheet. It performs all of the steps listed above so all I have to do is write and hit publish. If there are images in the post, it will grab them and put them in the correct directory so they show up in the post.
The Newsprint used to be Jekyll-based before its current Siteleaf iteration. I would have killed to have an app like Reposit at the time.
Can someone build something like this for Siteleaf? Pretty please?
Michael Rockwell’s Home Screens page caught my attention today, if only because it rekindles my old fascination with everyone else’s home screens. Shawn’s has helped re-spark this as well.
I’m a sucker for home screens — the weekly1 Sweet Setup interviews tickled my curiosity just enough to enable further exploring for new apps and workflows for iPhone and iPad. Between The Sweet Setup and MacStories, there are plenty of home screens and workflows for everyone.
I used to post these fairly often back in the day, the latest being October 2015. Here’s my latest home screen:
I’m still developing my full thoughts on the iPhone X, but there’s a lot to be impressed with. I can’t imagine an iPhone feeling better in hand than the X’s combination of glass and stainless steel. The X is a work of art, as is the X’s variation of iOS 11’s typographic theme.
If I have one nitpick, it’s the remarkably bad colour shifting when viewed at non-straight-on angles. For 2017 2018, it seems really bad. I’m also not a fan of the smaller keyboard (the reason I started with 8 Plus a few months ago).
Otherwise, it’s my favourite iPhone yet. So much fun to use.
“Formerly” weekly, actually. We’re working on getting the series going again. ↩
