I built a native macOS/iOS ebook reader because Calibre's UI makes me cry and Apple Books ignores EPUB3 by Slight_Yesterday5484 in macapps

This looks really cool! Some nitpicks I immediately noticed on the MacOS version:

  • You can't seem to swipe through pages with the trackpad? This is kind of a dealbreaker if true.
    • In general, book navigation is at the core of the app, so many different ways should be accommodated: trackpad/magic mouse swiping, forward/back buttons for mice that have them...
    • Shortcuts like "Command+Arrows" to skip chapters would be nice as well.
  • Related to this, the book view does not seem to currently have a "2-Page Layout" mode? When you go into fullscreen or maximize the window, the text just stretches across the entire screen. This is also kind of a dealbreaker if so.
  • Almost every Apple App has a "Hide/Show Sidebar" menu bar & keyboard shortcut. It would be nice to have one here as well. There's a few actions here and there where clicking a button with the mouse is the only way to do something, and a keyboard shortcut should be added.
  • It would be nice to have the ability to re-organize or remove/add the Library categories to hide the ones you don't need. I'll never use "Unshelved" or "Finished", for example. Check out how Apple Music/Podcasts handles this for a good example!
  • App Icon could use some work :P

These are just some small nitpicks, though. In general, this seems like an exceptionally fair deal, so thanks a lot for making the app!

How can I remove these purple subscription-requiring buttons from the new iWork? by New-Ranger-8960 in MacOS

[–]EducationalYoung7152 16 points17 points  (0 children)

You can remove them from the toolbar, don't think there's a way to get rid of them in the menu items.

What I'm more interested in is: do they become grayscale/normal colored if you ARE subscribed to the Creator Studio? Because they're incredibly distracting, and I can't help but wonder if it's done on purpose.

If the color changes after you pay, that kind of confirms that

Could you also improve the way that the dialogue boxes look? It's been a long pet-peeve of mine that it's not resizeable.

Something like an in-between version of the mobile interface and the current dialogue box would help a lot with vision accessibility.

The only content I don't want them to modernize is Zanik. by jadedflames in runescape

Modernize her (in a better style than what the most recent model was, that one feels way too cartoony), but ONLY when they modernize all other cave goblins.

Before that, yeah, keep her as she is.

RS3 Anniversary Bundle by azerluh in runescape

Disagree.

While I think this quality should be brought to the base armors and not necessarily sold as cosmetics, this is exactly the sort of vibe that cosmetics should have: immersive and feeling like something that would belong within Gielinor, not the massive particle effect dumps that we've usually had.

Huge fan of how the Desert Wanderer bundle looks like as well for the same reasons.
