@matigo Reminds me of Prism and Feedly.
@nitinkhanna Specifically:
Be ready when your photo op turns into a video op.
Say you’re taking photos and you see something you’ve got to catch on video. With QuickTake, there’s no need to switch modes. Just leave your finger on the shutter to start recording. Want to keep the recording going? Swipe right. To take burst photos, swipe left.

@nitinkhanna They say you can press then swipe left to burst on the iPhone 11 site.
@matigo COBOL’s hard to beat both for fixed-format flat-file handling and for leading people not to screw up by using floating point for currency. It gets a lot of flak from people who don’t know a thing about it. (Pretty sure adding the report writer would have inspired a holy war if programmers had had the Internet though.)
FORTRAN is another in the “long-lived and resource-friendly” language camp. It’s probably even more healthy in terms of teaching new authors than COBOL, thanks to its continued use in the sciences / engineering.

Not sure the news made it here: Clark Goble died of a stroke this week. :( https://www.gofundme.com/f/clark-goble https://www.timesandseasons.org/index.php/2019/09/remembering-clark-goble/
@matigo Matt Gemmell has an interesting summary of UX research on those menus at http://mattgemmell.com/pie-menus-on-mac-os-x/. http://mattgemmell.com/pie-menus-on-ios/ used to have some demos, but appears bitrotted across blog system migrations.
Your puck is a bit different, as it springs a typical linear rather than a radial menu.
@matigo I’ve definitely wound up stowing a scooter underneath when the elder tired and wanted to ride the rest of the way. Tricycle is probably a bit big for that, though, unless it’s collapsible.
The younger gets a few stops but knows I’ll strap them in if they keep it up. Plus they tire of running alongside pretty fast anyway. 😂
