This is the most technically impressive blog post/web article I've ever seen.
It's really fantastic.
Just delightful: "Every year I celebrate Settings Day: a day when I take a look at the options and toggles in all the apps I use."
Ok, I’ll bite … What day is “Settings Day”? (And can it be changed in Settings?😉)
Some more info about the embeddable emulators.
