There’s a new “Bendable” type of Arrow shape which lets you add a nice adjustable curve to your arrow. You can also have arrow heads on either end (or both) of the shape.

SVG importing has been much improved. Drop shadows, text on a path, poly lines, transforms, reading css colors, and more are all now supported.
[…]
Also new: pressing the option-tab keys will hide all palettes and toolbars. It’s a little thing, but I really like being able to see my image without any distractions.

Senator Scott Wiener (D-San Francisco) announced SB 1074, the Blocking Anticompetitive Self-preferencing by Entrenched Dominant platforms (BASED) Act, which is sponsored by Y Combinator and Economic Security California Action. The BASED Act will restore competition to the digital marketplace by prohibiting any digital platform with a market capitalization greater than $1 trillion and serving 100 million or more monthly users in the U.S., from favoring their own products and services on the platforms they operate.
[…]
Preferencing conduct prohibited under SB 1074 includes:
- Manipulating the order of search results to favor a provider’s products or services, irrespective of a merit-based process
- Using non-public data generated by third-party sellers — including sales volumes, pricing, and customer behavior — to develop competing products that are subsequently boosted above the third-party sellers’ product.
- Employing policies, charges, or practices that put business users at an unreasonable cost disadvantage relative to the provider
- Favoring the products of a company based upon the profit margin return to or paid to the provider
The intention was to allow other apps to become more visible, instead of the platform owner’s own services.
The bill was formed by a group of small companies backed by startup incubator Y Combinator, as well as consumer groups. However, that support was undermined by the sheer amount of lobbying Apple and Google decided to perform.
[…]
Lobbyists then started to drive constituent calls to member offices, informing them that Apple and Google’s products and services could degrade if the bill passed. Ads were also run, saying that search results would be “less useful,” that deliveries would be “slower,” and it would also make smartphones insecure.

Following the latest update of Apple’s Invites app, hosts can now manually edit the guest list to update guest responses and adjust the number of additional guests.
[…]
Elsewhere, the dashboard has been expanded with an All Events view, bringing both upcoming and past events into a single, unified interface. Sharing options have also been improved for hosts, who can now generate and download an image of their invite card.
Anyone using Apple Invites? The latest update suggests Apple wants it to be useful. When I tested briefly it failed my basic requirements so I’m leery of evaluating further.
Every time I look at this app, I can’t believe it exists: first because it seems totally unnecessary for Apple to be involved in this space, and second because the intended workflow and prioritization of features seem completely alien. Version 1.0 let guests collaborate on an Apple Music playlist, but it took until version 1.8 to be able to edit the number of guests?
And for a company so insistent on saying “no” to a thousand things to gain focus, you’d think they could at least have skipped introducing their own credit cards.
And again I have to ask myself, if SwiftUI, SwiftData etc. make it so easy to create apps for all the Apple platforms, why does such a simple app only exist for iOS? Why no macOS or iPadOS version?
This would be a great showcase app and Apple could even provide the source code as an example of “here’s how we do it”.
