Introducing Violoncello for iOS!

Hey, everyone! As many of you probably know, Violoncello has quickly become one of my most important projects in recent times. In the last several months, the Android version of it has grown exponentially, and it has reached the point of being my most successful app yet. As a result, a few months ago, I decided that it was time to make an iOS version of it. So that’s what I did!

Violoncello for iOS is largely the same as its Android counterpart, as it is still a text-only web browser. This means that a lot could be ported over from the Android version to its iOS counterpart, so they do share many features. That being said, there are still some notable UI and feature differences. The iOS version lacks some of the newer features of the Android version like finding text and printing pages, but it does offer some new ones like a more intuitive bookmark manager. It is also important to mention the iOS version still has plenty of customization options, and some of them can be unlocked by upgrading to Violoncello Premium. This small in-app purchase was first introduced with the launch of Violoncello for Android, and it serves as a way for people to support my work and get some fun extra features in the process. To summarize, while they do have some differences, the two mobile versions of Violoncello do also have a lot in common.

Overall, I’m very pleased with how Violoncello for iOS has turned out! As of now, it’s only available for download here in the United States, but I do hope to start rolling it out around the world in the not-too-distant future.

Anyway, if you want to try out Violoncello for iOS, you can find it on the App Store. As always, thank you so much for reading, and enjoy!

I love my Instax Mini SE. Here's why!

Hey, folks! I did it. I finally got into instant photography. And I love it. Admittedly, I've had some experience with instant photography before now. I got my first instant camera at a thrift store in 2022. It was a Polaroid OneStep from the 90s, and while film was still readily available for it, it was far too expensive to justify using it regularly. As cool as instant photography was, I accepted that it wasn't economically viable for me and moved on. ...Until about a month ago! On one of my first dates with my girlfriend, she introduced me to her Fujifilm Instax Mini 11. It was a much more compact and modern instant camera than my Polaroid. It also used smaller film slides. This was a big deal, as she informed me that the smaller film came at a smaller price. I was intrigued. A couple weeks later, I ventured to Walmart and splurged. I picked up the cheapest Instax they sold: The Mini SE. It only cost about $57, and it came bundled with 10 slides of film. I also picked up an ...

What's in John's Backpack? (EDC)

I may no longer be a computer science major, but I'm still fascinated by electronics of all kinds. That's why I take great pleasure in writing about my "everyday carry," that being the devices that I regularly take along with me. These are often being swapped around, as I am an enthusiast at heart, but some of these have stuck around for a long time. So, here's the list: Phone: iPhone 15 Pro (128 GB) It's a very nice phone. That's about all I have to say about it. Like most people, I'm pretty apathetic toward iPhones. I prefer iOS for my needs, and it does what I need it to. 'Nuff said. Laptop: MacBook Pro 14" (2023, M3) I feel bad for my MacBook Pro. It gets tossed around in my bag, is constantly being used, and has a fair few battle scars. But it keeps on going. This laptop has gotten me through college thus far, and I'm hoping I won't have to replace it for a few more years. Watch: Apple Watch SE (the newest one) I swear that this i...
