    See You Later, Nerds

    Alex and Matthew talk about the close of the beta season – and the close of the show. Both tried to test iOS as best they could, but bugs and real life took their toll. That being said, Siri Shortcuts and the updates coming soon look to be exciting as ever. Please stay tuned towards the end of the episode for a raw conversation about the future of Supercomputer.Find us elsewhere: Join the Shortcuts User Group chat Alex Cox (@AlexCox)Alex's podcasts Two Headed Girl, Roboism, & The Robot and the UnicornMatthew Cassinelli (@mattcassinelli)Matthew on YouTube and TwitchMatthew’s website ★ Support this podcast on Patreon ★

    Android Just Smells Like Home (feat. Julia Skott)

    Matthew hosts special guest Julia Skott – quite literally in his home. Julia's all about Android, but uses an iPad and Mac, so the two have a lot to talk about. Plus Julia is just a blast.

But—thankfully—she's part of the "larger format iOS world" thanks to apps like Procreate and the Apple Pencil.  Matthew prods Julia about which apps are really keeping her on Android, and she mentions often it's the time cost that prevents major changes. Which of course leads to ways Matthew spends too much effort on projects at the wrong time, before refocusing on the various little apps that still work on Android while iOS breaks compatibility. Matthew holds his first Android phone in years and examines it as Julia mentions all the little things that make the experience in the face of, say, corporate decisions. Matthew also cedes that much of the customization is baked-in instead of requiring developer adoption, especially since Julia is from Sweden and she quite literally needs products rebuilt with different letters. Then the conversation steers towards Matthew's accidental but not really but well-meaning iMessage shaming of Julia, which leads to some pondering of how much real-world fallout there actually is over Android vs iOS. The two head towards the end of the discussion talking about learning iPad by way of necessity for work, the mix of natural intuitiveness alongside gestures you'd almost never discover, and getting moisture in the input of oversized smartphones. From there, Julia espouses the benefits of her pop socket, Matthew brings back the pinky ledge conversation, and Julia ends with a great point: you can predict what tech might be like, but you can't predict the world and how much people have learned yet. ★ Support this podcast on Patreon ★

    Interview w/ Greg Pierce, creator of x-callback-url

    While Alex was away, Matthew interviewed developer Greg Pierce, creator of Drafts and the x-callback-url spec that kicked off deeper interest in iOS automation. The show starts with  the basics of deep linking & how URLs are traditionally used, before diving into the good stuff straight from the source. Greg explains the benefits and drawbacks of early mobile automation, plus potential adoption of what’s soon to come, then covers how he’s using the new Siri Shortcuts capabilities alongside his own automation app Drafts. He also has thoughts on ways to extend Siri Shortcuts to run from other apps, plus sneaks in some details about what’s coming to Drafts for Mac.Then Matthew is embarrassed he doesn’t know JavaScript but commits to learning some new tricks, plus shares how almost everything he’s done has gone through Drafts at one point. Look for updates Drafts for iOS and Mac coming this fall with iOS 13 and macOS Catalina – make sure to sign up for a Drafts Pro subscription too, because it’s well worth your money and you get to support a great guy like Greg too.Links from the show: GetDrafts.comDrafts for iOSDrafts for MacAction DirectoryDrafts CommunityGetting Started with DraftsDrafts referenceAgileTortoise.comx-callback-url specMacStories archive of Drafts coverageFind us elsewhere: Supercomputer (@_supercomputer)@_supercomputer on InstagramAlex Cox (@AlexCox)Alex's podcasts Two-Headed Girl, Roboism, and The Robot & The UnicornMatthew Cassinelli (@mattcassinelli)Matthew on YouTube and TwitchMatthew's website ★ Support this podcast on Patreon ★

    Your Phone, Your Choice

    After a few weeks, Alex & Matthew are back to talk about the beta experiences so far. Matthew hung out in Apple Business Chat, Alex gets excited about Automation triggers, and everyone is assigned a book for summer reading.

This led to a quick aside on the name HomePod. Matthew's world blends across the iOS beta lines, especially since he needs to  import .shortcut files that can't be added in iOS 13. After drastic measures, Matthew saved all his shortcuts as iCloud links—for his work—and organized them all with own information. In reference to URL scheme-based shortcuts being irrelevant soon, Alex asks for clarification on what's now possible for apps who want to use Siri Shortcuts. Matthew gives some details before accidentally triggering Siri, which turns into a discussion about how broken the betas are. Both hosts get into it over the Public Beta – should you install it? Is it responsible to recommend that? Matthew reveals how many radars he's filed in the past, while Alex might be the model beta citizen. Alex ponders what it means for iPadOS to be its own thing, and Matthew mentions how Pocket didn't take iPad seriously for too long. This leads to mention of Instapaper and an classic improper explanation of what GDPR means, and apps now gone from Shortcuts that might be coming back in iOS 13. Both your hosts then dive into the Automation trigger capabilities, including what will and won't work in the background – NFC is the most fun so far. This also leads into Personal vs. Home automations & what's new for the Home app, before "in theory" triggers Siri again. Finally, Matthew assigns the book Atomic Habits to everyone as a summer reading project. Both hosts will be reworking their devices for the new updates and Home Screen shortcuts, so read along too before reconvening to discuss learnings from the book & how the experiments went. We'll be doing a few guest episodes coming up soon, so stay tuned for those as well. Otherwise, the show is on a slower summer schedule – feel free to tweet us anytime though 😎 Find us elsewhere: Supercomputer (@_supercomputer)@_supercomputer on InstagramAlex Cox (@AlexCox)Alex's new show Two-Headed GirlMatthew Cassinelli (@mattcassinelli)Matthew on YouTube and Twitch ★ Support this podcast on Patreon ★

    AppleScript Wasn't Born in a Day

    Following last week's after one day, a discussion of Matthew's morning routine sparks discussion about how Apple is changing. Plus, how order of operations matters, what the intersection of Arts and Technology means, and being funny on the internet. Alex had so much caffeine. Matthew swallowed a frog.
