Coming up on Double Tap tomorrow Shaun and I talk to Ged Maheux from The Icon Factory about the demise of the Twitterrific app who doesn’t hold back on his thoughts on the future of Twitter.

What a fucking mistake that was. Chapelle doesn’t deserve shit and Randy has more humor in his pinky than Chappelle in his entire bigoted body.

Out now is a new episode with Ged Maheux from the The Iconfactory! We dive deep into Linea Sketch including the big 4.2 update from last week. ipadpros.net/2023/02/02/epi…

If you don’t have the patience for Procreate, Línea is much more straightforward, does a lot, and will have you up and drawing in no time. 👍🏽👍🏽

Ah, the lovely toothy texture of a new matte screen protector. Warmup on Linea Sketch #ipadproM2

I’m not leaving Twitter — not yet, anyway — but I’m going to try and make a go of it over on Mastodon. Find me at [email protected].

Seems like Twitter just did a service-wide reset of everyone’s push notification settings. I had all of these except DM’s turned off prior for Twitterrific account. They are ALL back on now.

Check your push prefs cause yours may be back on too. Elon Musk can fuck right off. 😡

My latest story is an important one in all this Twitter drama: I talked to The Iconfactory co-founder Ged Maheux this week about Twitterrific’s demise and what it means to the disability community, as well as what it means for accessibility at Twitter.

Twitter’s Infrastructure Continues to Crumble, Silently

Popping in to mention my interview with James Bilsbrough and Crossed Wires is now Exclusive to Mastodon about the end of Twitterrific We talk 3rd party clients, how we got here and the negative ramifications Elon Musk’s decision has on accessibility, users and more crossedwires.net/podcast/ollie

The ban on third-party Twitter clients has severely impaired my ability to read (or even see) all mentions/replies directed at this account. Please consider following mastodon.social/@siracusa on Mastodon instead.

When he suffers flu-like symptoms, it’s a massive tragedy that invalidates the shot altogether. When Tesla’s “self-driving” software kills people, it’s a mere statistic on the way to a better world. That’s just how it works

My next variant cover for Batman 134 featuring #punchline , also comes with the red foil version. 2 more to go to complete my cover run so don’t miss it! :) #batman

Twitterific makers The Iconfactory also makes the great simple drawing/notes app Linea Sketch. It’s become my go to for working things out for storyboards and also one of the apps I love doodling my own stuff with. Also did some of the initial designs for Mandy on it. (2nd last one)

Want to give thanks to all of our beta testers over the years. Especially those helping us on Accessibility, making Twitterrific one of the best apps for the visual impaired community. Sean Heber thank you for your dedication and ethics.

Twitter just disabled the API key for Twitterrific for macOS literally as we were pulling it from the App Store.

Wondering if they did this for all remaining 3rd party apps that were previously working. Can anyone verify that?
