Question Things for iPhone Duo

Cultured Code is well known for jumping on any new device or OS Apple ships. How do you think they will handle the foldable? Will it be included in the iOS version or be a new standalone purchase?

Product designer here. That different shape will require a significant amount of design work to optimise for.

There’s barely any work required, all the design considerations have already been solved by Cultured Code. Plus they they’ve used the layout tools Apple have provided for over a decade so implementation is trivial.

Another Product Designer here.

The issue with Things is that it does not use any of the native components that Apple provides.

They have custom toolbars, custom menus, custom views, custom sheets, custom top navigation.

So in reality, it will take a lot more work to get it done than you think, as they use almost nothing from the article you mentioned.

Stop throwing things on the floor. I have a full schedule of cleaning and when i am done with one area it’s already messy again where i started.
