The developer Ryan Carver presented yesterday a new app called Spreads. The tool was made targeting users of the Threads who want to post panoramic images on the platform in an uncomplicated way.

Spreads’ inspiration came from Carver’s own app, the Series. According to the developer, it all started following he observed the creative possibilities that Twitter competitor X brought to the sharing of panoramic photos.

As people explored different aspect ratios e fragmented their images by using Series, Carver recognized the opportunity to meet their photo editing needs.

That’s why the recently launched Spreads has resources exclusively aimed at Threads users. On the social network, Carver described it as an “apple app” that simplifies the photo editing process compared to Series.

I created Spreads to be the easiest way to create spreads for Threads. Series remains the best app for all types of layouts, but it’s overkill for many people.

Rather than complicate the Series with more options, I decided to create something that works for many more people in terms of features and price. If you already use Series, great! It will continue to evolve to do everything that Spreads can do.

With the app, users can easily create panoramic images with just a few taps, ranging from two to ten panels. Unlike Series, which requires a subscription, Spreads is available for a one-time purchase of R$15 in the App Store.

South America – As part of the strict production quality control process, Nissan’s Japanese engineering tests every day on the test track each Frontier produced at the Santa Isabel Factory, in Córdoba, Argentina. The main objective is to deliver a safe pickup truck to consumers and contribute to a future with zero fatalities.

We leave for the test track with the Nissan Frontier… now what?

Attention to noise: engineering professionals detect whether there is internal or external noise in the cab, which may require mechanical adjustments.
Functionality check: test for ensure that the brakes, steering, gearshift, handbrake, suspension, among many others, work perfectly.
Static check: it is verified that all functions and equipment are in optimal condition. Some of them are: lights, horn, sound system, closing doors, operating windows, interior buttons, sunroof, seat heating, defroster, window cleaner, heating/air conditioning, seat adjustment, steering wheel controls, between others.
Dynamic test: the team checks the same points as in the static test, but this time with the Nissan Frontier in motion.
Inside hood inspection: confirmation that there are no fluid leaks, contacts between pipes or poorly assembled elements.
water test: Nissan Frontier is subjected to constant rain from different angles for approximately 30 minutes to ensure no water ingress.

After these six steps, the Nissan Frontier produced in Argentina and exported to Brazil, Chile and Colombia is ready to be delivered to consumers for a great driving experience. In line with its long-term vision and Nissan Ambition 2030 sustainability strategy, the company envisions a future with zero fatalities. Every exit to the test track is another opportunity for Nissan to be closer to this future.
