New post: The Galaxy Z Fold 7, one month in.

I expected to hate this phone. I thought the fold was a solution to a problem I didn't have. I thought the flip was the right form factor and the fold was a gimmick for people with more money than sense.

A month later, it has changed how I work. Dev work, blogging, AT training, video calls — all better. The inner display turned my phone into an actual multitasking device instead of a single-app pipeline I constantly switched between.

It's not the best foldable on the market. The battery can't keep up with combined phone and tablet use. One UI is still bloated. TalkBack has bugs unique to this device. But the form factor itself? Sold.

Full post covers accessibility, screen reader quirks, hardware, what sucks, and why I'm already eyeing the Clicks Communicator as my next phone because I can't leave well enough alone.

2. The absurdity that was the Tesla infotainment system being entirely screen-driven. This made people take a step back and think about what else shouldn't have a screen, which gave voice to the idea that everything from screen-controlled kitchen appliances to, dare we say it, entirely touch-driven phones may not be the best idea after all.
Yeah. Safe to say, Clicks has less of a risk of fizzling out than Planet Computers does. Because more of the masses are ready.

@nolan For quick notes, I use 'Quick MD Capture'. For more detailed ones, 'Simple Markdown'. Both from Fdroid.

For code, I made my own editor that is a line editor, each line of code is its own element, and I can add line above, add line below, etc. I can jump between blocks with heading navigation, and zoom into a particular block to have just that code in a text box.

@esoteric_programmer @nolan If I'm just typing the next line, I can press enter or how ever you enter a new line for your input method to add a new one. What I don't have to do is use TalkBack's clunky reading controls to navigate through a giant text box. Only the current zoom level is in the text box (line, inner block, outer block, file)
