flexbar 6
KICKSTARTER NEWS – I use a MacBook Pro for my work computer. Back in the day, it came with a Touch Bar, a touch-sensitive strip above the keyboard that allowed me to interact with my applications in different ways. I wasn’t really a fan and didn’t use it much, but maybe there’s a better way to implement this idea. That’s certainly the hope of a new Kickstarter campaign called the Flexbar. It’s a USB device for Mac and Windows that allows users to define how they want to interact with their applications and then do so with just a touch. For anyone who regularly has a process for doing something, such as editing a picture in Photomator or a video in Davinci Resolve, it could be a way to quickly access the features needed most. As this is still a Kickstarter project, it’s hard to know how well this will turn out, but I’m cautiously optimistic that it could be very helpful. If you’d like to know more, take a look at their Kickstarter page.
