While adding this short-form case study to my portfolio I figured out a way to hack together a page transition in @Framer 🫰 (It's not perfect, but so much better than the abrupt black out that was happening before)

@ChanceIzLit @theapplecycle I made one but it has a delay. I don’t see Apple offering this because it’s too complicated. Running a Shortcut that has actions based on device orientation is working best for me.

Created a Shortcut that adds Double Tap to the Action Button on the iPhone 15 Pro. In this example: •• Double click opens Camera • Single click opens Sonos It's got some downsides, but it's fun.

@ilyamiskov There’s actually an updated version that’s been on TestFlight for years. It’s really nice. No idea why they haven’t publicly released it. I believe the app was sold then never re-released. Email their support and they’ll add you.

What's your favorite @Figma keyboard shortcut? Here's mine: Control + Shift + ?: Show all Keyboard Shortcuts. Blue means you've used it, black means you haven't. (Thx to @joeyabanks for that gem!) Also the plugin "Zen Keys" adds quick menu actions for things without a shortcut.

The X rebrand is so poorly done and ego-driven, it’s painful. X will never be the platform that “delivers us everything” bc it’s not what users actually want or need. Just some billionaire’s poorly informed idea & desire to own a monopoly app. Twitter is gone. End of an era.

@maxscumbag You need to store a variable in another app like Data Jar when the Action Button is pressed. Then I’m using a Focus mode automation to count how many times the button has been pressed. It just makes the single click response time a lot slower.

The new iPhone might be my favorite in years. The soft edges make it more comfortable to hold, it feels significantly lighter, it’s slightly smaller. Also having a physical button you can set to do anything is incredible.
