Came across this new native macOS app for quick notes and calculations today and was really impressed with the UX and workflows. It has similar features as many other "note calculators" (text, checkists, math, unit and currency conversions), and some cool ones that are not (timers, OCR from images, autopaste, variables).What I liked is how the app manages modes. It's simple to switch between...

There's also Zen, which is a Firefox fork that's trying to bring some of @Arc's features to a Firefox experience. It's rough, but totally usable, and development has a lot of momentum. I started using it to replace Arc and it's been decent so far.I know many people love Brave, but personally I find the sketchiness around their business model/revenue off-putting.https://zen-browser.app/

I've been beta-testing this for a while, and it's fantastic. There are still some significant system resource usage issues, but the whole approach is innovative but familiar.

I'm a long-time Alfred user but have switched over to Raycast. It combines a bunch of tools I would typically use separate apps for in a way that feels integrated and of a whole. Alfred still has Raycast beat for how easy it is to extend, but the overall package Raycast offers is tough to beat.

This is a great app and it's awesome to see a new major version. IA is clearly focused on creating a great, highly focused experience, and their attention to detail is often missing from other notetaking apps. The only thing it's missing (for me) is folder support for Dropbox on mobile (like the Desktop version supports), but I understand it's more complicated on mobile. Still, if you're...

I've worked remotely for a while. Here's what works for me: (tl;dr: replace your commute with walks, stand/sit, use the Pomodoro technique) 1. Replace your daily commute with walks: at the time you normally leave for work, go for a walk that is either as long as your commute, or at least 20-30 minutes. I also take a "commute" proxy walk at the end of the day, too – the ritual helps my mind...

Congratulations on the launch! It's always interesting when a new player in password management appears. I signed up to test things out, but once I got past the log in the page text switched to Vietnamese. (saw this first on the set Master Password page). https://locker.io/set-master-password Something you might want to consider updating. I know not everyone speaks English, but I assume you'll...

The spirit behind this idea is great and definitely something companies should consider. The challenge is how to present these options to someone without overwhelming them or turning a seamless experience into a shitty one. Tech folks think about stuff like this all day; most people don't know or don't care to know.

Drawphone is also great. https://drawphone.tannerkrewson.com/

I like it! My main concern is that I use multiple machines, and from what I can tell you can't sync or maintain collections across browsers.

Interesting concept, but $6.50 per can retail? Ouch.

FYI - "Chinese whispers" is considered offensive to Chinese people as the original connotation was that Chinese people were difficult to understand and confusing. "Telephone game" is what you're looking for

The pricing is a little vague, but I love the concept. If you pay for multiple days do they need to be used consecutively or can they be spread apart?

I've used these esims multiple times going from Canada to the US and the entire experience has been flawless. Highly recommended.

This is a great example of how Catalyst isn't ready. Just one example: you can't tab between text fields. I dearly hope this doesn't turn into another Adobe Air situation.

Looks like the request access form is broken.
