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.

i haven't bought it yet but i would and might
― markers, Thursday, 6 June 2013 19:03 (thirteen years ago)
not that i'd necessarily use it regularly
should be a 99c app
― diamonddave85, Thursday, 6 June 2013 19:04 (thirteen years ago)
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

i would have grubes on my app team cause now people will buy it

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.

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 (thirteen years ago)
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 (thirteen years ago)
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

I am in no way suggesting that summoning Cthulhu to rise out of San Francisco Bay and massacre all of Silicon Valley would be a good thing, but I wouldn't do anything to stop it either.

We have a different name because we make a different sandwich. A true Philly hoagie is so much better than a “sub”, it’s not even funny. We’re famous for the cheesesteak, but the Philly hoagie is just as great. (Sarcone’s is the best; Primo’s are excellent too.)
i hate this guy.
