I’ve been an iPhone user for about 10 years now but have considered going back so I’m curious: what do you find is better on iOS? Why would you choose iOS over Android?

Notifications are easier to get to on Android too: you pull down anywhere from the Home Screen, on iOS you reeeeeach up to the top and… no that’s control centre, try again, reeeeach… no that’s control centre again, try again… reeeeach… ah there it is.

Apple king of UX? Yeah right πŸ˜’

That should be: state.notes.push

Thanks. So should it be this:

setBoard(state => { state
notes.push…

?

I just can’t see how you can target β€œnotes” and not β€œboards” by just naming the argument β€œnotes” πŸ€”

Oh, do you have a link to any docs for that?

Great post. I think this:

setBoard(notes =>

Should be this:

setBoard(β€œnotes”, notes =>

But I could be wrong, am no Solid expert.

I personally prefer things as close to the bottom as possible. Arc has probably the nicest tab management I’ve seen on any browser. It would also satisfy high or low thumbers πŸ™‚

You scroll up (swipe down). It feels pretty intuitive to me.

This is Orion’s tabs:

30.12.2025 14:27 β€” πŸ‘ 0    πŸ” 0    πŸ’¬ 1    πŸ“Œ 0

…look through them. I kinda forget I can scroll down for more results now. There’s just something about the UX that feels off. Almost as if you turned iOS reachability mode on permanently and therefore permanently lost the bottom of the screen. Hope this helps.

So… I like it but… any chance items could _start_ at the bottom and you scroll up instead? Orion have an option to do this with their tabs. I feel this would be especially more useful with search suggestions where comfort mode currently feels like it hides things as opposed to encouraging me to…

I don’t know why I turned it off on Kagi. I’ll turn it back on and see how it goes…

Seems to only happen when navigating from a search result (I’m using Kagi).

@quiche.industries I’m finding recently that the ad blocker only works after reloading the page. Is this a known bug on your radar?

Apple, feature request: disable iPhone’s raise to wake when using the torch. When you’re trying to view something in the dark, the last thing you need is a bright phone screen lighting up directly back at you πŸ€¦β€β™‚οΈ <- me shielding my face from my phone.

Ah, that’s Tailwind doing the oklch stuff.

Oh, so we don’t need to bother with any of the theme-color stuff anymore? I’ll do some investigating…

@quiche.industries Hi πŸ‘‹ This doesn't happen often but the only example I can confidently link to is from MY site 😭 With Quiche the top of the screen isn't tinted but it is with Safari. I have the meta theme-color tags in place πŸ€·β€β™‚οΈ

Nope, all standard. Large text is off, so is bold. And the slider in Display & Brightness > Text Size is in the middle.
