Who’s from the future

Singin’ Don’t worry (don’t worry) ‘bout a thing,...

This.
10,000x this.
Every day, I beat myself up over two questions: “What can I do to make life as worry-free as possible?” and “What have I done to get closer to not having anything to worry about?”

Accessibility for iPhone and iPad apps →
marco:
Every iOS developer should read this. It’s long, so feel free to save it for later. But really, read it.
VoiceOver accessibility in iOS is extremely easy. I made dramatic improvements to Instapaper’s accessibility with about 15 minutes of effort a few versions ago. Instapaper is already often used by people with reduced vision because it can show web-page contents with large, adjustable...
