I've followed Benn for years, and his critique of modern revenue models for musicians. It's stunning to me that a duopoly can punish musicians for speaking out like this.
I love this! I'm starting to feel this is a solution to a lot of info-overload stress in our lives. I'm making an iOS app with the same slant: every day has its own list, so you start fresh every day, or you can add to your tomorrow's list at night so you start the day prepared. I also added a bullet-journal-like view for the month and it all adds up to a lot less stress than what I've been doing before (the testflight is at https://testflight.apple.com/join/t5ZpRV2l )
Not to mention that adding an image chops 20+ chars of my limit. Want a URL in there and maybe a hashtag? You're down to less than 100 characters. These arbitrary platform limits should not burden the end user.
The screen you're talking about is just C64 BASIC. You'd do LOAD to get Turbo Assembler into memory (from cassette tape or disk), then go from there...
Yes, I may have been wrong on that part. Or it was planned but not started yet. Or Chris Lattner read that post and thought "we've gotta get on that". Or whatever.
Regardless of that, a lot of details match (opt into it, side-by-side with C and Objective-C, compiler based on LLVM, not based on C, modern language, specifically made to match the frameworks).
