Since the release of first 12.9” iPad Pro in 2015, I’ve done all of my web development work on an iPad Pro (currently a 10.5” 64GB LTE model in space gray with a Smart Keyboard attached). Not only is this site coded entirely with it, I also use it at work to build the ON1 site.
As you’re reading this, keep in mind that this is what works for me. Your mileage may vary depending on your setup.
Miranda and the kids went for a walk the other morning, and this is how Otto spent most of the time they were gone… waiting patiently for them to come back with his tennis ball on the window-sill.
It was pretty damn adorable, so I snapped the photo above to show Miranda when they got back.
I just put the finishing touches on the code that will automatically push anything that I post here with the “status” post format to Twitter, so I can now post to Twitter directly from the blog. Maybe that’ll get me posting to Twitter more often 🙂
After a brief hiatus and some design tweaks, I’m ready to start posting again. Here’s a quick overview of the changes:
As you can see above, if a post has a featured image, it now shows as full-width rather than being constrained to a container. This applies to featured images everywhere–main blog index, individual posts, and pages. Images inside the posts will remain inside the post container.
I’m going to take advantage of WordPress’ built-in status post format to post what are essentially tweets. They will cross-post to Twitter automatically once I get the code written.
I tweaked the post meta design beneath the post titles a little. I added fancypants icons for each and tweaked the spacing.
I updated the list of apps that I use in the sidebar (← over there, or ↑ up there if you’re on a phone). Each app “ad” links to the App Store and if you purchase the app, I get a miniscule kickback.
I also made some changes to how things work on the back-end of the site and fixed some layout issues with comments.
More posts are coming soon, including one on how I use my iPad Pro for web development, so stay tuned!
It’ll be back eventually…
