@goesselgold Nice!

@pilif Fineliner generates umlaut/accent/etc. variants of characters automatically. See settings, Font, “…” menu, All Characters.

How do those work for you?

@volkersfreunde That’s intentional. I didn’t want to reflow existing text and possibly break its layout after font changes.

@Canevecchio Thank you so much!

One of the most humbling experiences for me, as an imperfect meat-coder, has been seeing the flagship AI models *instantly* find and fix bugs in my code that had eluded me for months or years.

Seeing the stupidity (and quantity) of my own bugs makes it pretty hard to continue to believe that AI code is somehow untrustworthy or low-quality.

AI code has its own shortcomings, but bugginess is FAR lower than human code when you use good models, prompts, and architecture.

@lucamegh @Colinnapier Thank you! All I can say is that it’s trickier than I expected, but I figured it out, and it was totally worth it.

@Johnwesleya It’s there. Look under the Layers tool!

@yertle @christianselig I can’t get the third-party pencils I have from Metapen, etc. to work on the Duo.

I’m guessing they use the same mechanism that Logitech Crayons use for universal compatibility without pairing, which I can’t get the Duo to recognize in any way (cabled pairing, Bluetooth, etc.). Probably why the Crayon isn’t listed as being compatible with the Duo on Apple’s site.

The Apple Pencil USB-C pairs differently, via cable. Seems like ONLY that works on Duo, at least so far.

@njf @atpfm OMG, this is incredible!

@bethaburrito If it’s tap-and-hold on a page in the Pages & Settings screen, that’ll be fixed in the next update!

If it’s something else: fineliner@marco.org

Thanks!

@Colinnapier Thank you! I spent a lot of time on that, so it means a lot.

@salocin Anything unusual about your iCloud setup? That’s the behavior of trying to connect to CloudKit and it taking… a while.

@Andrev Nice job!

Fineliner, my delightful notebook app for your iPad, iPhone, and iPhone Duo, is out now in the App Store!

Definitely the most fun I've ever had making an app. I hope you enjoy it. :)

Best on iPhone Duo and iPad. Apple Pencil recommended!
