iOS 9 Feature Rip-Offs

If you've watched the Apple WWDC Keynote for 2015, then you'll notice some of the new features that Apple introduced for iOS 9. If you're also a Windows Phone user, then you'll notice some blatantly obvious ripped-off features from WP8.1 in iOS 9.

So let's start.

The Notes App Rip-Offs

The iOS 9 notes app is mimicking the Windows Phone "OneNote" app as much as possible. But that's just an opinion - the recently introduced features reinforces this, but what's the point of complaining. Here's some actual content.

Checking for users who don't followback on Twitter

Since I no-longer "digest" my news from twitter,

I maintain my twitter account solely for people interested in "subprojects" that I embark on, and to stop others from grabbing at "extramaster".

I am aware of those that don't really care about my tweets and about the fact that a substantial portion of twitter users are bots.

And so, to keep my twitter followers as close to 1:1 as possible, I created a little online tool which identifies users who are not following you, hence not "followbacking".

Instructions:

In order to check for Twitter users that don't follow you back/aren't following you, then you can follow the steps below.

• Step 1: Visit the landing page - http://www.extramaster.net/tools/twitterFollows/
• Step 2: Click on the "Login to Twitter" button.
• Step 2.5: Authorize the application with Twitter, or if you already have, let it login automatically.
• Step 3: Look through the accounts that aren't following you (that you follow), and have fun!

Please keep note that if you want to build a semi-meaningful relationship with me, feel free to have a chat with me on Google+! Twitter feels too much like a race, and it's doomed to fail anyways.

Google Chrome Canary Detection Page

Here's a simple online page that you can use to check if you're using Chrome Canary:

In terms of development, it's not a good idea to set a rule to funnel web browsers.
However, as a page used for demonstration purposes, it's always nice to have a page that can detect which browser you're using, in this case, detect that the browser being used is one of the Google Chrome Canary channel.
