Am I horrible in hoping some ill befalls this?

No, because apps die a silent death and rarely get an obit.
There's nothing worse than people who think that we can design our way out of every user problem.

"yeah there are already a million apps out there who solve the note taking non-problem on apps, but there's not a UI good enough for our immaculate taste, so we had to design one ourselves. It's by us for us unless you all are willing to raise your standards."

the greatest thing about next week would be if Apple would grant a trial-basis for app downloads
most apps do not see engagement beyond 2 weeks. This would clean up the app store a lot.

not that i'd necessarily use it regularly
should be a 99c app
― diamonddave85, Thursday, 6 June 2013 19:04 (eleven years ago) link
should be a free evaluation and if it is a solution for me, I would buy it.
this idea that we have to spend a dollar to evaluate everything is stupid

Gruber: Bond’s gadgets have always been at the intersection of utility and elegance. Serve a necessary purpose, reliably, and look good doing it. That’s as good a motto for a software company as any.
fucking james bond

I don't understand the hate for this dude but likewise don't understand how he can be the number one apple blogger.What do you guys think about kottke.org? He seems like he's in a similar group of commenter dudes who also make fonts on the side.
― Philip Nunez, Thursday, 6 June 2013 21:43 (eleven years ago) link
Gruber is sanctimonious. Kottke just likes linking to neat things and keeps the rest to himself, IME.

@gruber 8hHacker News hasn’t had a single link to Daring Fireball in months, so I presume DF is blacklisted. But why Vesper?

it's pretty debatable whether or not "export" is a "power user feature"
― markers, Friday, 7 June 2013 19:46 (eleven years ago) link
Vesper’s current lack of sync, export, etc. isn’t an oversight; it’s an intentional omission at this time.
hah no matter how hard any of them try they just cant bring themselves to justify it
