Just finished "Lulu and Milagro's Search for Clarity" by Angela Velez. It's an excellent #OwnVoices Latinx teen drama about big questions like dating and college, and it's very well plotted, with lots of balls in the air that get caught and thrown again beautifully and which all come down nicely at the end. Reminded me of "Far From the Tree" by Robin Benway, which also had three siblings and which also juggled dramatic irony beautifully across multiple perspectives. A less skilled author could have told a similar story with more straightforward perspective trading, but Velez manages to create a lovely relay race of tensions that pass their batons to each other so neatly you're always eagerly awaiting the next development.

Updated test builds are now available, adding new settings for Forecast counts and summary dots, adding support for keyboard modifiers when using drag-and-drop in Forecast on iPad and visionOS (bringing parity with the support already on Mac), and making other improvements and bug fixes.
In three of the four weeks since WWDC, the conversion rate for OmniFocus on visionOS has been above 71%. (In the other week it was still above 62%, so the overall conversion rate for the full period is above 70%.)
I'm not suggesting everyone run out and make visionOS apps today: the total market size is still small. But it's a good sign for customer enthusiasm on the platform.
(As a company who specialized in building NeXT apps, we're no strangers to tiny markets with…
