Loosing my temper

Loosing my temper

Hi everyone
I am slowly but surely forming a new opinion about Apple. I have been a loyal customer and on the "consumer end" of their business via many hardware and software purchases throughout the years.

Now that I am also on the developer side of their business my experience is quite different.

- Endless phone queues.
- Unanswered emails.
- Lengthy processes.

After waiting in phone queue for over 1 hour today I gave up and tried to make a constructive post on the developer.apple.com forums.

After authoring the post for a little while describing all the details and pressing send I see: Your post is being reviewed and will be published if approved.

I am seriously contemplating about just canceling my apple developer subscription and posting the app code as a public repo on GitHub. There I can at least interact with the people that use my stuff.

So far being an Apple developer has been nothing put painful and it has cost me 99 USD without giving me any tangible value back.

Just needed to vent a bit about Apples fetish for endless reviews that seem to be going nowhere fast.

Update: Token color scheme now has more variants

**UDPATE: There is now also a token-ultra variant of the theme**

Hello everyone

I have added 2 new variants to Token that are a bit cooler compared to the classic version of Token. These variants are also generated for all themes in /contrib in the GitHub repo.

Installation and configuration instructions are on GitHub https://github.com/ThorstenRhau/token

I hope you enjoy the theme

Token v2.0.0: optional configuration and opt-in plugin integrations

Hey everyone!

Token v2.0.0 is now available.

The main addition is an optional configuration API for customizing transparency, styles, palette colors, highlight groups, terminal colors, and more. Token still works without calling setup() if you prefer the defaults.

One important change for existing users is that plugin integrations are now opt-in. To retain the v1 behavior and enable all supported integrations:

require('token').setup({
  plugins = { all = true },
})

vim.cmd.colorscheme('token')

Alternatively, you can enable only the integrations you actually use.

The compiled cache is now configuration-aware, with improved validation and fallback handling.

What do you use Pro for?

Hi everyone
I am currently using the Pro Light plan that I finance out of my own pocket. The things that I do with it do not generate any revenue for me but instead the usage generates "joy".

So, my question to you who use the 200 USD plan and finance it out of your own pocket is: what do you use it for?

The reason for my question is that I am contemplating about getting the 200 USD plan but I have a feeling that when I spend that kind of cash every month it should generate some revenue back.

Thank you for your time

PocketBook Era Lite comparison to Clara BW

Hello everyone. A few days ago I received my new PocketBook Era Lite. I upgraded from a Kobo Clara BW and there was very little information available about the Era Lite model so I thought that I can post a few pictures that might help some of you out.

I never was entirely happy with the Clara BW due to the lack of physical buttons. The screen on the Clara BW is very good and I am happy to report that the Era Lite screen has similar characteristics. Just like the Clara BW it has a recessed screen without any protective glass in front of the Carta 1300 display. The jump from 6" to 7" feels very meaningful to me and I could not be happier about the upgrade.

The attached picture shows KOReader running on both devices. Please be mindful about that the current stable release of KOReader (2026.03 Snowflake) does not support the Era Lite. This has been fixed via this PR: https://github.com/koreader/koreader/pull/15415

Until the next stable release of KOReader is published you can run the nightly version, for me it works just fine on the Era Lite.

To my eyes the screens of both devices are equally sharp / contrasty.
