RE: https://mastodon.social/@overcastfm/116371407005870950 transcripts are the coolest thing I’ve seen in a podcast app since Marco’s smart speed implementation. run, don’t walk, to your nearest App Store for this update

Shouts to Flighty for making me the first person on a flight into Palm Springs to know that we were being diverted to San Diego. &lt;heckin’ wimdy gif goes here&gt; The pricing model of “yeah I’m traveling next week but I don’t do this on the regular” makes it an absolute no-brainer, and the info about airport conditions is better than anything I could find online about KPSP’s weather.

less positive reviews for MobileSafari which did not keep any of the webpages open that I tapped into from Ivory while offline. The number of tiny data loss bugs they ship in Safari on iOS and Notes on the Mac every year just grates (Notes on macOS, **every year**: “we could restore your open notes, but it’s more important to tell you that we added drawing tools.”)
