that's what i use. but then again i'm crazy and use @me for my email. i have a gmail account but it just sits there. if i were still on gmail i'd use google's gmail app

let's take bets whether or not this will be another posterous sitch where they keep it around for a bit until they don't
then again i think friendfeed is still up

wonder what the future of the mailbox gmail relationship is

fantastical is pretty good!
my most used iPhone apps are: - Chrome - Twitterrific - Pocket - facebook - Zing - Scratch - KitCam - Kindle - Mailbox
― Dr. Adorbius (mh), Tuesday, 16 April 2013 01:55 (thirteen years ago)
oh yeah, and Fantastical and Google Maps
you aren't using Apple's new Maps, are you
― Dr. Adorbius (mh), Tuesday, 16 April 2013 01:57 (thirteen years ago)
well i just have an ipad, not an iphone, so the navigation component isn't a big deal to me right now. when i mess around with maps on the device though, it's apple maps.
when i borrowed a family member's iphone to get somewhere i think i used apple maps though. lol

― markers, Tuesday, 16 April 2013 02:05 (thirteen years ago)
YOU'RE RIGHT
― markers, Tuesday, 16 April 2013 02:06 (thirteen years ago)
scanner pro for "scanning"
instapaper is good but really datefd
― Dr. Adorbius (mh), Tuesday, 16 April 2013 02:06 (thirteen years ago)
I mean, there are apps that do that shit better now. Check out Pocket!
― Dr. Adorbius (mh), Tuesday, 16 April 2013 02:07 (thirteen years ago)
for whatever reason i've never used pocket. i'm a marco fan though.
― markers, Tuesday, 16 April 2013 02:11 (thirteen years ago)
honestly markers, some people who like to blog are good software developers but that's not really a good correlation
― Dr. Adorbius (mh), Tuesday, 16 April 2013 02:12 (thirteen years ago)
how often do you run into problems with pocket?
― markers, Tuesday, 16 April 2013 02:13 (thirteen years ago)
i'd also be interested in hearing why you think instapaper is dated
― markers, Tuesday, 16 April 2013 02:14 (thirteen years ago)
it's true that it seems like he's not devoting much time to improving it now that he's got the magazine. the last major revision was fall 2011
pleco, skritter, evernote, mail (ugh), zing, riposte, tweetbot, foursquare, patter, reeder, icab, pocket weather, google, google maps

instapaper is about to get a major update (and new app, therefore new fee)
― ice cr?mated (Autumn Almanac), Tuesday, 16 April 2013 02:18 (thirteen years ago)
where did you see that?
― markers, Tuesday, 16 April 2013 02:19 (thirteen years ago)
marco

i follow him on twitter, read his blog, and listen to his podcast, and i hadn't heard that
― markers, Tuesday, 16 April 2013 02:21 (thirteen years ago)
but good news, so thank you for letting me know
pocket has a good default view (really nice on iPad), seems to have better html/article parsing, and does better with images. not tagging as much, but I've liked the flow of it.
― Dr. Adorbius (mh), Tuesday, 16 April 2013 02:22 (thirteen years ago)
at some point i may need to check it out. thank you.
― markers, Tuesday, 16 April 2013 02:24 (thirteen years ago)
I actually used passbook for real flights lately! It's still only marginally useful though
― Dr. Adorbius (mh), Tuesday, 16 April 2013 02:25 (thirteen years ago)
xps i'm pretty sure he mentioned it on his blog but i can't find it
― ice cr?mated (Autumn Almanac), Tuesday, 16 April 2013 02:25 (thirteen years ago)
let's pray that it eventually takes off
― markers, Tuesday, 16 April 2013 02:26 (thirteen years ago)
he said he's got a load of ideas he's building into the new instapaper, and that he'll be charging again because of that. it's not on his blog so assuming it was an interview. annoyed i can't find the bloody thing.
― ice cr?mated (Autumn Almanac), Tuesday, 16 April 2013 02:33 (thirteen years ago)
thank you for looking though.
― markers, Tuesday, 16 April 2013 02:36 (thirteen years ago)
Pocket is awesome. So is Omnifocus.
Flipboard is pretty great.
Someone explain to me why Path is so great.
― The Great Forgiver (dandydonweiner), Tuesday, 16 April 2013 02:41 (thirteen years ago)
can't
― ice cr?mated (Autumn Almanac), Tuesday, 16 April 2013 02:41 (thirteen years ago)
also, the UI on Path is overrated. That wheel sucks.
Path is the epitome of an app that exists simply because it can, i.e. there were a bunch of sucker investors involved.
― The Great Forgiver (dandydonweiner), Tuesday, 16 April 2013 02:47 (thirteen years ago)
no one actually uses Path
― Dr. Adorbius (mh), Tuesday, 16 April 2013 02:49 (thirteen years ago)
acquisition target
― markers, Tuesday, 16 April 2013 02:54 (thirteen years ago)
sort of acquisition that would either spell the end of the app or its being changed into something different perhaps
― markers, Tuesday, 16 April 2013 02:55 (thirteen years ago)
but yeah what mh said
"acquihire", another bad joke perpetuated by the SV press/VC industrial complex.
It has no business model and only 5mm "users". Ergo, it is a platform for serving ads on an app where you're supposed to have a less polluted newsfeed.
