Honestly this comes back to the refrain I've been hearing lately: what iPadOS needs is the desktop version of Safari! That would let us run Figma just fine! Figjam runs great on iPad, it's actually a fully native experience and I love it. But if they'd just give us a first-class Safari experience, we'd be good here.

Cool, instant buy for me. A few little suggestions:

- Make the system font (San Francisco) an option for the UI. Maybe even SF Mono as an option as well?

- A little more help about which model to use for beginners would be nice. Maybe just an intro screen telling you how to get going.

- Would be great if Command-comma opened settings, like most Mac apps.

- Would be great if clicking web links opened Safari (or my preferred browser), rather than a small window that loads nothing!

brigleb | 2 years ago | on: On why Markdown is not a good, or even a half-decent, markup language

This is kind of absurd. Markdown has very specific use cases. For example, using any number of free apps, you can maintain a folder of notes that are human-readable, machine-parsable, that will effectively be useful forever.

You’re really gonna keep that folder of text files in “very good” LaTeX??
