I'm loving Zed.dev so much that for the first time in like ever, I changed macOS's default "Open with…" app from TextMate to Zed for Markdown files
And instead of using Marked app to view the rendered Markdown file/s, I'm just using Zed's built-in rendering, especially good as a split to the side

Every day, I'm still blown away that Apple uses yellow for link text in Notes app
In dark mode, it's not bad.
But in light mode, it's awfulllll contrast between the link text and the light yellow background.
(I'm not here for alternative notes app suggestions. Pls don't.)

#SwiftUI help request: Notes app does the sidebar toggle button best!
Button stays in place, no matter if sidebar is hidden or shown.
So, you can re/click to toggle on/off.
I can't figure out how to either:
- move the default one to the left OR
- hide the default and add my own*
Pair with me?

Just a causal #opsec reminder to friends, especially to queer/bi friends:
A photo of a key is often enough to make a copy of it

So… if you want to protect yourself against people making copies without your permission, you may want to keep your keys in your pockets

I love that The On-Line Encyclopedia of Integer Sequences (OEIS) exists! What a thing!
It's a perfect example of the power and victory of the web
But boy howdy, does it leave a lot to be desired visually
oeis.org/A000108
A simple subtle refinement could spruce it up a lot a lot

What is Apple's name for these filter button thingies that they added to iOS/macOS Mail?
I'm trying to read the HIG about them.
