Hi, this is Allison Sheridan of the NosillaCast Apple Podcast, hosted at Podfeet.com, a technology geek podcast with an EVER so slight Apple bias. Today is Sunday, November 17, 2024, and this is show number 1019.

Support the Show
This week I received a very generous donation from Paul Nielan to support the show. He wrote a note that included some tidbits I thought where interesting:
Long-term listener. Retired mechanical engineer. Would have donated sooner if you had Apple Pay. But NC #1017 was so good it got me over the Paypal login hump. Totally agree on Apple Notes. You say it so well and systematically. Notes could be so much better. Because the ergonomics are bad, it’s hard to get into “flow”. Reminders is the same way. Too many keystrokes. Also ‘share’ is totally confusing. to me too.
Very few (any?) podcasts take the time to explain why they don’t like something. Also greatly enjoyed your Gigsky guest—that’s also confusing and I learned quite a bit.
Of course I loved learning that I’m not the only one who finds Share in Apple Notes confusing and the ergonomics of the interface to be subpar. I was also intrigued that he said if I’d had an Apple Pay button he would have donated sooner. Made me wonder how many people might not donate because it’s a hassle to open a PayPal account.
I did a bit of digging and I think I understand a way I could have an Apple Pay button if I open a Stripe account. They take about the same processing fee as PayPal does for their service so it wouldn’t make much of a difference to me. I’ll let you know when/if I get it working. Thanks so much, Paul for the great idea and the lovely donation.
