Inkwell App for macOS

Manton Reece, founder of Micro.blog and creator of new RSS reader app Inkwell, announced the release of a native Inkwell app for the Mac earlier today. If you’re interested in checking it out, the app is available for download directly from the link in his blog post.

While I haven’t yet tried the Inkwell app for macOS, I did check out the web version and enjoyed using it! One of the features that sets Inkwell apart from other RSS readers is the ability to highlight text from within a post and then use that to create a new post on your own Micro.blog account.

Additionally, the “Fading” tab, which collects posts older than a few days and automatically archives them afer a week, is a nice way to ensure you don’t end up with too many unread posts to catch up on.

Apple Announces AirPods Max 2

Apple announced the AirPods Max 2 earlier today via a press release on their “Newsroom” website:

CUPERTINO, CALIFORNIA – Apple today announced AirPods Max 2, bringing even better Active Noise Cancellation (ANC), elevated sound quality, and intelligent features to the iconic over-ear design. Powered by H2, features like Adaptive Audio, Conversation Awareness, Voice Isolation, and Live Translation come to AirPods Max for the first time. The new AirPods Max also unlock creative possibilities for podcasters, musicians, and content creators, with useful features like studio-quality audio recording and camera remote.

AirPods Max 2 will be available to order starting March 25 in midnight, starlight, orange, purple, and blue, with availability beginning early next month.

“With the incredible performance of H2, AirPods Max are upgraded with up to 1.5x more effective ANC for the ultimate all-day listening experience,” said Eric Treski, Apple’s director of Audio Product Marketing. “The sound quality is remarkably clean, rich, and acoustically detailed — and when combined with capabilities like Personalized Spatial Audio, AirPods Max 2 deliver a profoundly immersive experience.”

It looks like the AirPods Max are getting a pretty nice upgrade. I have a pair of the original AirPods Max (with the Lightning port), but would be interested in comparing audio quality as well as checking out some of the “Intelligent Features” that have been added to the AirPods Max 2.
