If you have a Mac, many battery-powered Apple devices, you need AirBuddy. Version has been in the works for a very long time and it is a major update. I’m so anxious to get my AirBuddy updated! We don’t get to see this level of craft on computers these days. This reminds me how dire the macOS … read more

Here are a few quick comments on Deliveries 9.0 that came out recently. Deliveries 9 helped me track my Apple Watch Series 6 (read me review here). As you know, Junecloud, the maker of Deliveries, switched to a subscription model with this release. I don’t really like this model but what can I do? … read more

Today is Christmas! Basecamp just released version 1.1 of their email client for HEY which supports WIDGETS among other things! I played with it and I LOVE the way they added the feature. Nicely designed and useful! Congrats to them! Now, I have to get back to work on my article on widgets and … read more

I think this is a great move! Everyone (?) can now test this feature. The highlighting feature works across devices which is really useful. Manton Reece

we’ve enabled the new bookmark archiving and highlights feature for everyone to try out

I really like what I’m seeing here on macOS. Only request is the default view of a New Post window should show the Title and Categories by default. On the web, the improvements are massive. I’m surprised the Bookmarking feature is available in a new Premium tier only. I want this feature … read more

I’ve been a long time satisfied user of Deliveries. They are now switching to a subscription model which isn’t a surprise. I do think the pricing is just about right for the type of app. But, looking more closely to what’s new in the upcoming release, I see support for darkmode which is fine but … read more

Here is something for attention seekers: GTFU. I don’t understand. What do you expect from me by liking 10 photos in a row on my 500px profile page. The same goes for this case (see screen shot) of someone clapping for all my stories on my Medium page. Do you have something to sell? Probably, but I … read more

Quick question: when you say “oh my, COVID-19 cases are on the rise!” and you get the following response “well, sure, they do more testing!!”. Is this a valid response? If not, what is the counter argument? I have the feeling there is something wrong with this statement but I cannot put the finger … read more

I’m falling back in love with Tweetbot 🥰. For a reason that I don’t remember, I was no longer using since a while ago. I think it was related to the fact that the official Twitter client was getting all the new features while Tweetbot couldn’t keep up (thanks to highly guarded APIs … read more

Re-discovering Castro podcast player 🎧. Much better than Apple’s Podcast app 👍🏻. Better design than Overcast 👌🏻. Super nice Watch app 😍. Impressive Shortcuts support. 👨🏻‍💻 No iPad version, though 😕. Looking forward for iOS 14 widgets support and maybe a universal version with support for all … read more

IFTTT Pro. I’ve been a long time user of this service. I decided to subscribe @ 2.99$ per month. Started to play with the new features. I’m still not sure how I will take advantage of the multi-steps applet capabilities. Maybe something like: following a new blog post, create a DayOne entry … read more

Sad but true in a sense. #climatechange

I second that. Instagram is going down the drain. Fast. Thank you Facebook.

I would pay a lot of money for this kind of table.

After much thinking, I think I’l go ahead with Stratechery newsletter (was competing against Techpinions and Benedict Evans Newsletter). Why? it comes with Dithering podcast with @Gruber. #newsletter #tech #podcast

This is my Twitter family. I wonder what my Micro.blog family would look like.

Thinking of becoming a paying subscriber to very notable newsletters. Hard to choose from Benedict Evans, Stratechery and Techpinions newsletters. All good content, interesting and very different subjects from different angles. Any advice?

Master piece from Ben Thompson of Stratechery looking at ways of rethinking the App Store. Because of this article quality, I’m considering becoming a subscriber. Rethinking the App Store – Stratechery by Ben Thompson

Yes, I do remember Windows 95 launch. Windows on top of DOS.

I’m flabbergasted to see soooo many new To Do or expanse tracking apps coming in crowded app categories.
