Ha, amusing read—thanks for the chuckle.
I paid for Sublime Text 3 while I was still using it. Even though I switched away (to Vim/Neovim, then Kakoune, then Helix), I don’t regret it at all. It was a fantastic tool I used for about two to three years, and it brought me far more value than the $70 it asked for in return.
In fact, I’ve since bought a ton of other software when it’s proven useful more than the free alternatives. I’m particularly happy when it’s sold by a small team, just like Sublime. Some favorites I currently have installed: Acorn, Fantastical, Ivory, Monodraw, Things, Transmit, and Tweetbot (RIP).
- bradgessler 3y agoFantastical is awesome. I wish Flexbits make a macOS email client, but they don’t seem interested.
- nkantar 3y agoI had this exact thought when I first started using Fantastical a bit over a year ago. Would 100% be interested, even for my relatively easy needs.
- bradgessler 3y agoThey do such a great job sweating all the details that they’d make something far more amazing than Mail.app, Spark, or Canary. I’ve been tempted to build this email client since Flexbits won’t.
- nicwolff 3y agoI bet you'd like Bean: > Bean is a small, easy-to-use word processor that is designed to make writing convenient, efficient and comfortable. Bean is lean, fast and uncluttered. It starts up quickly, has a live word count, and is easy on the eyes. Also, Bean is available free of charge. > Bean has some limitations: it doesn't do footnotes or use stylesheets and is only partially compatible with Word's file formats. Also, it allows in-line graphics, but not floating graphics. https://bean-osx.com/Bean.html https://bean-osx.com/Bean.html
