Upnext: Learn with Superpowers
Truthfully, I’m having deja vu, as a result of I really feel like I’ve coated this app earlier than, however a cursory search of the iDB archives returned nothing. Anyway, that is Upnext, and it’s cross-platform app that permits you to save something, to learn later. That features articles, podcasts, newsletters, tweets, threads, movies, and extra. All objects go right into a single library, the place they are often organized and filtered as you want. The app does require a subscription, which I do know is a deal-breaker for many, however that is a kind of apps that I feel will be so worthwhile to customers, they’d fortunately pay for it.
Pixel Music
I really like progressive, music-making apps, so this one jumped proper out at me. Pixel Music is a music sequencer primarily based on photographs. Take a picture you’re keen on, and begin taking part in. Pixels flip into pitch, velocity, and observe durations, and you may can feed in a number of photographs on the similar time. You possibly can select what components of the picture shall be performed, at what time, and you may even file your self taking part in alongside the sequencer. There’s assist for MID, AUv3 with preset, Ableton Hyperlink, and rather more. Discuss a enjoyable method to spend the weekend!

Anyway, Perplexity makes use of a mix of AI and web search to present you immediate solutions and knowledge on any subject, with up-to-date sources. The group behind it says it’s like have a superpower in your telephone that permits you to search, uncover, analysis and be taught sooner than ever earlier than. Truthfully, they’re not completely improper.
Tremendous Meat Boy Perpetually
Tremendous Meat Boy Perpetually is indie platform online game developed by Staff Meat (lol). There have been just a few titles launched underneath the Tremendous Meat Boy banner, however I consider the unique Meat Boy dates again to the early 2000s. Anyway, the brand new cellular recreation takes place just a few years after the occasions of Tremendous Meat Boy. Meat Boy and Bandage Woman are having a picnic, when their arch nemesis Dr. Fetus sneaks up on them, assaults them, and kidnaps their child Nugget. You might be tasked with serving to the couple get their Nugget again and instructing Dr. Fetus and his goons a lesson.
