Is Reeder 4 or Unread the Best iOS RSS Reader?
by
A while ago I said that Unread was the new bar for having a beautifully readable interface for your text based content. It was so much better I felt that Instapaper needed to take a step forward to keep up. Now Unread has some faults, most glaringly it’s entire lack of the ability to manage…

Kingston USB C Hub for iPad Pro
by
Today’s video is a bit about the USB C accessories I use with my iPad Pro to get it all functional. The biggest issue with the whole thing was the crazy short cable on the USB C Hub, which they all seem to have. A short extension cable cleaned that up and got my desk…
How I use Ulysses and Shortcuts to write from my iPad Pro
by
All the blogging and video editing work I do to produce content for my site is done done from my iPad. In fact, lots of my writing was done on my iPad 2 8 years ago when I got that device and fell in love with it as a writing tool. Today I’m going to…
iOS, Blink Shell, Mosh and tmux

Pixave as Digital Asset Management for iOS (it’s terrible)
by
One of the places that iOS lacks is it’s Digital Asset Management. Sure, the typical home user has no issues. I had no issues with how iOS handled media until I started doing more videos. As soon as I started recording more video and wanted to keep b-roll around and findable, the limitations in iOS…
Downloading Zoom videos on iOS
by
While Zoom runs credibly on iOS, you can’t record locally and unfortunately they make you jump through at least one hoop to download a call if you’re on iOS. The key to being able to get your video or audio out of the Zoom web interface is, as always, iCab set to show your browser…
