I know I’m pretty quiet on social media lately, but just wondering like @LeraLynn might, if I did say anything, #AreYouListening ?

[Jim Blanchard @Jimsfiction]

@RMLostAirpods @Procreate @sixxthirtyAM I’d like to know more, too. Is “chuck” a Kiwi term?

[Jim Blanchard @Jimsfiction]

@Procreate @MFTHOI Y’all are quick!

@andrewpprice @sahiljiqbal App developers are partly responsible b/c they won’t develop for Android. Ref. @Procreate which won’t dev. for Andr. b/c it’s just not as good an end-to-end ecosystem, but it’s mostly Google’s fault for not pushing the envelope into a truly competitive ecosystem. 2/2

[Jim Blanchard @Jimsfiction]

@andrewpprice @sahiljiqbal The title should be: How Apple Doesn’t Help Startups As Much As They Want. It’s a monopoly of sorts b/c nobody wants to put the years of work into competing with Apple that Apple had already done. 1/2

@Procreate @kindly_anni Sorry, I meant to say “flow-on gesture” instead of “another step”.

[Jim Blanchard @Jimsfiction]

@Procreate @kindly_anni I just created a feature request for this. Go there to upvote. https://t.co/JS4kebx34y

@LeraLynn Naa, it’s just “Junk food melodies...”

[Jim Blanchard @Jimsfiction]

@Ogedei_Bahadur @LeraLynn Just like almost every other day.

@Procreate @mittensthemagic Step one, turn off caps lock.

[Jim Blanchard @Jimsfiction]

Still puzzled. Why is the origin limited to plus or minus 1.707” in both x and y axis? Document is 18” x 12”, units are inches. *pulls hair out*

[Jim Blanchard @Jimsfiction]

@affinitybyserif I have not been able to discover how to show rulers in Designer on iPad. I imagine I need the rulers to move the origin point, because I can’t find that either. So puzzled.

[Jim Blanchard @Jimsfiction]

I found it! I found it! Document, Guides, That Thing At The Bottom, slide it over until you see Spread Origin. Why is this a Spread and not a page or document or art board?

[Jim Blanchard @Jimsfiction]

@LeraLynn You’re probably sympathizing with all the restaurant workers bustin’ it in the Covid era.

[Jim Blanchard @Jimsfiction]

@KINGGPEPPER @Procreate You can turn your whole iPad display grayscale temporarily.

@RebekahLowell @Procreate Very nice work. Have you considered the @Paperlike iPad screen protector? Might give a more natural feel for hand lettering. I’ve been thinking of trying it. https://t.co/Bcn0FLTGN6
