7 Things This Week [#148]
A weekly list of interesting things I found on the internet, posted on Sundays Wednesday this week. Sometimes themed, often not.
1️⃣ Parker Ortolani shared two music apps that you can still get today that showcase previous iOS designs in case you liked the old Music apps better. [🔗 @parkerortolani // threads.net]
2️⃣ Niléane is doing the thankless work of showing how Threads is failing marginalized communities. It sucks and Threads should do better. [🔗 Niléane // macstories.net]
3️⃣ Manton Reece shared a measured opinion on where he draws the line on mixing politics with business. It largely mirrors the way I feel about such things. (Sticker Mule crossed the line.) [🔗 Manton Reece // manton.org]
4️⃣ We’ve gone from an iPod nano with a strap to make it a watch to an Apple Watch sans strap to make it an iPod. Isn’t nature beautiful? [🔗 Allison Johnson // theverge.com]
5️⃣ I’d rather get DRM-free EPUBs for purchased books, but these new price drop alerts for Apple Books are pretty nice. [🔗 Ryan Christoffel // 9to5mac.com]
6️⃣ This Beeline cycling app looks super cool. Can’t wait to give it a try! [🔗 Ben Lovejoy // 9to5mac.com]
7️⃣ “Cate’s Brother” by Maisie Peters came out a couple of years ago, but I only just discovered it. It’s a real banger and my song of the summer. [🔗 Maisie Peters // song.link]
