Most of you know me for my consistency, a golden arrow in my blog series. I've written 1000 articles in 1008 days! Almost an article a day, and my honeymoon was the only holiday I ever took. I'm super proud of this achievement; it has been a fantasti...

It's not the first time I'll be talking about community. I think it's an essential aspect of any successful tool. This shows in my previous explorations of Astro, Medusa, and now Vendure as well. All these products thrive in a super open, welcoming, ...

The cool part about Vendure is how easy it is to set up and how abstract each layer is. Basically, we get the following elements: External database Server Worker Admin UI Frontend While this is amazing, it also brings a bit of complexity when it co...

The previous article looked at customizing Vendure on a data and process level. In this article, we'll look at customizing emails, as they are often a big part of a webshop system. We'll be looking at two different layers of customization for customi...

Even though Vendure is a pretty significant project out of the box, in some cases, we might want to go in and modify some elements to work to our specific use case. In this article, I'll take a high-level look at some elements we can customize within...

While doing yesterday's article about console.log on Chrome for iOS, I needed to screen record my iOS device. I started looking at which app could help me with this process.
It turns out it's super simple with a pre-installed Mac application. All you have to do is connect your iOS device to your Macbook.

First, open the Quicktime application on your Macbook.
The next step is to connect your iPhone with the lightning cable to your Macbook. (Depending on your Macbook, you might need a converting hub).
With the iPhone connecting, click Quicktime player menu -> File -> New Movie Recording.

You can also see the option for "Screen recording", but that will only do your Mac screen.
Once you clicked the Movie Recording option, you should see a block saying "The camera is off".

If you hover this block, it will give you some options. We need to click the little arrow next to the record button.

Clicking this arrow will show you some options, and if your iPhone is connected, it will be an input source.

Once selected, it shows the current screen of your iPhone.

And there you go, we now have the option to present or screen capture our iPhone on our Macbook.
