For the past 7 years, the iPad has been my main computer.

In this story, I share everything I've learned, describe my entire iPad setup, and collect my wishes for iOS 13 and the future of iPad.

I've poured months of work into this.

Beyond the Tablet: macstories.net/stories/beyond…
This story is, by far, the most complete account of all my work on iPad through the years.

From file management and multitasking to Shortcuts and podcasting, if you want to know how I work on iPad Pro, this story is for you.

It's my iPad Manifesto.

macstories.net/stories/beyond…
Of course, there are also extras!

The story is available as an eBook exclusively for @ClubMacStories members as a free download. A special Making Of is also coming this week.

And we recorded a special episode of @AppStoriesNet about it.

Details: macstories.net/news/beyond-th…
Among the topics covered:

- iPad file management with open-in-place and bookmarks
- My @iAWriter and @WorkingCopyApp setup
- Automation with Shortcuts VS @ScriptableApp (with examples!)
- My review of the @BrydgeTech keyboard and @Logitech Slim Folio Pro
- Lots, lots more 😄
If you're just looking for my iOS 13 wishes/future of iPad thoughts:

The opening 3D animation – as well as all the chapter images – were created by the amazing @bkbkbk.

Details about his setup (Cinema 4D, plus a farm of Macs/PCs for rendering) coming later this week for @ClubMacStories members. It's wild.
Writing this story was a labor of love. I wanted to offer one final update before WWDC and tell my whole iPad story so far.

I hope you'll enjoy it. Now I can't wait to see what's next for iOS 13.

Fun fact from today's iPad story: @bkbkbk and I decided to use HEVC/H265 for video compression for the intro animation. Thanks to that, we were able to keep the video file < 5 MB and use a 10k bitrate version too.

For the past few months, I’ve been trying to find new ways to access and control macOS from iOS.

Here’s what I’ve come up with:

Using a Mac from iOS, Part 1 – Finder Folders, Siri Shortcuts, and App Windows with Keyboard Maestro macstories.net/ipad-diaries/i…
In this story, you’ll find:

- My new top pick to access Mac/FTP servers from iOS Files app
- Siri shortcuts for macOS + iTunes/HomePod controls
- My automated podcasting setup with Shortcuts, @keyboardmaestro, @LunaDisplayHQ, BetterTouchTool & @toggl

macstories.net/ipad-diaries/i…
Finally, in the article I explore the idea of “mixed automation” – combining Shortcuts on iOS with AppleScript, shell, @keyboardmaestro, and other apps on macOS.

Make sure to read the details and watch the podcast setup video on Page 2: macstories.net/ipad-diaries/i…

Great news for all those running homebridge who want to test iOS 12.2′s HomeKit changes with a webOS TV: github.com/merdok/homebri…

(I’m going to mix and match both old and new configs)
Here’s my mixed setup for TV control via HomeKit: the new TV accessory in iOS 12.2 (featuring remote) + homebridge-webos-tv with custom switches for inputs, specific TV channels, and a slider for volume.

Best of both worlds so far, and I can control everything on my TV.
I kind of love where I’ve ended up with this mixed setup for TV controls

Welp, iCloud on all my devices (iPhone XS Max, iPad Pro, Mac mini) has started randomly not syncing some things.

Reminders and HomeKit scenes different across devices. Photos and notes are fine.

After signing out and back in, iPhone told me it hadn’t backed up in 4 weeks 🤔
The iPhone is now stuck on doing this backup, saying “2 hours remaining”, and it’s not moving at all (I have a fiber connection).

I have already tried signing out of iCloud and back in everywhere. Honestly not sure what to do except hope it’ll fix itself eventually 🙁
Deleted all my previous incomplete backups, now stuck like this after 90 minutes. Will keep checking later today. 🤔

Story time. A long time ago, in a galaxy far far away before anyone knew how evil Google would become and their techniques for everything were suddenly the trendiest thing ever, I had a job interview. 1/
I won;t tell you the name of the company but let's just say they REALLY wanted to be a "web two point oh" superpower. So obviously, they copied Google. At the time, Google were (in)famous for asking fucking stupid interview questions like how many ping pong ball fit on a bus /2
this is supposed to demonstrate the candidate's ability to think laterally. What it SHOULD demonstrate is the candidate's ability to spot a non-serious employer and walk out on the spot but hey. /3

1.’Dada ‘ was actually the name of the Dutch company that imported Fake Ghee Called ‘vanaspati ghee ‘ into India in the 1930s as a cheap substitute for Pure ‘desi ghee ‘ Which was prepared from cow or Buffalo milk in India 🤔
2. Desi Ghee was locally made product sustaining Indian Economy-on other hand-So Called ‘Vanaspati ghee’was a type of vegetable shortening made up of hydrogenated or highly saturated vegetable oil and made to just’mimic desi Ghee’🤔!

It was a Fake Product to fool the Indians 😎
3. Proper ‘Desi Ghee ‘ was expensive & Lever Brothers, now Unilever (Hindustan Unilever in India), knew there was a market for a substitute for desi ghee, since many Indians could barely afford Ghee in those days 😨

1) I've been working on BF'88 for a while, and I think it's time to share everything I've learned about gamefeel so that when this project is done, someone else can do something even cooler. First, none of this would be possible without the amazing work by @jwaaaap & @tha_rami.
2) Seriously, the first step is to watch the art of screen shake and do literally everything in that video.
Everything described is in BF'88, and having those tips available was crucial for the further explorations I've been doing.
3) I'll try to keep this as game-feel focused as possible, but it will necessarily dip into sound design and visual fx. We're going to start with one gun in BF'88, the Null Mass Cannon and dissect everything about it.
