who would?

now is not the time for motorboating (dandydonweiner), Thursday, 6 June 2013 18:59 (thirteen years ago)

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

markers, Thursday, 6 June 2013 19:03 (thirteen years ago)

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

now is not the time for motorboating (dandydonweiner), Thursday, 6 June 2013 19:15 (thirteen years ago)

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.

yes gruber, you are comparable to bond

fucking james bond

hoping it gets a feature that lets you wedgie gruber's underpants over his head

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.

marco has posted about this, and now i am really not sure who i hate more

Loool at getting linked to by Marco as "resentful" for saying sync is critical when he, eh, says sync is critical. Balls.

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

the Quim of Bendigo (Autumn Almanac), Friday, 7 June 2013 02:18 (thirteen years ago)

maybe hacker news just thinks you're a nutsack

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

lag∞n, Friday, 7 June 2013 19:54 (thirteen years ago)

how is "iPad" a "power user feature"

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.

He quoted all of marco's "balls" post

stet, Saturday, 8 June 2013 00:22 (thirteen years ago)

have we mentioned that he calls himself the "director" of the app?
