I should know better than to leave tabs open in Safari. Was clearing down this morning and Safari crashed. Tab groups remained intact, but tabs in the default space were lost. Started browsing back through History Book and Surfed, but they weren't that useful in this case. Then I remembered that I have an overnight Shortcuts automation running that backs up a list of open tabs to Drafts.app. Win.

It's surprising to me how functional this little computer is. The only complaint I have right now is controlling audio input and output!

Ok - so I am all in as a non profit ED and grant writer and only used the iPad Pro. But it’s like 89% awesome for work. I went all in and learned the OS but I really feel like I’m fighting against it 11% of the time and it’s getting really old. I had to build a logic model so I used Omnigraffle on the Mac and it was like suddenly my workflow/process got lubed up and I was speed racing through all sorts of tasks.

For example, today I was writing a letter in the office 365 app. I needed to cut and paste from another document. Nope. Couldn’t open both at the same time/side by side. So then I thought I’d try it using Google docs because I found recently that Google docs is an awesome WYSIWYG writing app. Nope. Don’t support two windows.

I got it done, but it’s little stuff like that that creates friction in my productivity. And that sucks. Also - I understand that my examples above are app specific, but I could just as easily write about how the Files app is a pain in the ass when I need to drag a column to be a bit wider to see info without opening the preview up…or about how highlighting words when using an external mouse is stupid and requires dragging the dots like using a finger.

Rant over.

I guess my question for any Lemmings out there is this: what small things can #apple do to make the OS super awesome for office work?

Let’s make this the place for all news and questions related to Apple’s tablet OS, iPadOS.

Please, let’s be considerate of all OS’s and people’s choices, and do not belittle anyone in discussions here. Let’s just have fun and share information that could help everyone.
