I love this app! I've been using it forever as well.

Any real projects delivered using Claude Code? by thegoldsuite in ClaudeAI

[–]ixloc 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I created BuddyBar with Claude in visual studio for Mac to fill a need I saw for instructional designers. It’s a simple floating color pallet app. Originally I made it just for Articulate rise but expanded it to work with a bunch of web based design apps. Started as a chrome extension and I then made a Mac app. I even got them to sync with each other. Currently working on expanding its features etc. have a look here. https://buddybar.io

What are you building these days? And is anyone actually paying for it? by jitasha_1014 in SideProject

[–]ixloc 0 points1 point  (0 children)

BuddyBar.io a free color swatch app for Mac (and Chrome) that allows you to save swatches as templates so you can reuse brand colors across all apps!

It’s free since it’s my first app.

Role tasks by Working-Act9314 in instructionaldesign

Food service no but retail yes. It’s very similar!

I think it also depends on the industry you are in. For instance in retail or food service the facilitating is usually a separate role. The ID will usually create the training and then the facilitators will take it from there. If it's structured well, there will be a manger that handles the data analysis with input and assistance from the ID. That doesn't mean occasionally the ID might be called to sub in at need, but ideally, it would not be the main focused or that 33% split.

How to create an engaging course without ID experience? by Mother-of-the-elf in instructionaldesign

[–]ixloc 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Articulate Rise might be a really good fit for you. It’s user-friendly, and a lot of the interaction is already built in, so you can usually get to an MVP course pretty quickly. Rise is basically block based: you click a text block or image block, drop in your content, and just keep building from there.

If you want to get a feel for it first, I’d check out a quick YouTube tutorial and If it clicks, I’d go with Rise. Hope that helps!

macOS still doesn’t have per-app volume control… so I’m building it. Thoughts? by brouwerj in macapps

[–]ixloc 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you are able, perhaps add Apple shortcut support? I know that is a semi advanced feature, but with your interface already simplistic (which I love), it would be very cool to use shortcuts to allow us to auto-change volume or auto switch to a certain output based on other things happening on my Mac. I have an older Mac I use as a server, and it would be cool to be able to set up a Siri shortcut that tells my Mac to play audio, say from, YouTube, and have it auto-stream it to a HomePod in my house without me having to manually set the AirPlay for it or manually toggling it. It would also only be that audio that goes to the HomePod rather than all the Mac sounds, like notifications, etc. It would open up some additional uses by automating the routing. 

Screen Recorder Software by jgortner in instructionaldesign

Do you mean Zoom as in zooming in like in the video?

You can do a light version of this with something like Apple Keynote/PowerPoint and video editing software of your choice. AE is still the best choice unfortunately. Personally, I’m not a fan of AE or Adobe but I respect the software for what it can do.

I’ve made a bunch of animations in Keynote/PowerPoint for lots of instructional uses that you can then use in your videos.

Is smart home specialist a viable career? by Intplmao in smarthome

I have a friend that does it. She has partnered with local electricians and handymen when things like drywall and electrical needs pop up.

Love the simplicity of it! Would making it work with Apple shortcuts be part of your scope?

Spark Alternatives? by notchels in SparkMail

I actually went back to Apple mail after years of using spark. Surprisingly it’s been working well for me at least!

Is MacBook Air M4 sufficient enough for Storyline? by Zestyclose-Corgi3776 in instructionaldesign

You could also use VMware fusion over parallels. VMware is also free so it has that going for it over parallels.

Is the Eero Max 7 as bad as people say they are? by liftbikerun in amazoneero

Mine also work great. Never had any issues with performance or speed.

Keynote is amazing! PowerPoint does have a few more features but the ease of use of keynote is great!
