I found that Zite did an incredible job of presenting high-signal content for me. I became so reliant on it that I would have paid a significant amount to subscribe, probably on the order of a spotify subscription. But that was after years

I didn't realize just how much I relied on Zite until it was gone. I tried to launch it several times a day in the week after it was turned off. If anything, Flipboard has taught me that the UI of flipping pages is best left to physica

What do your friends say about content protection? It seems like the least important thing to worry about since it's so hard to protect your content no matter what the medium.

We've been using Slack, which seems like maybe it's a cross between Team & chat. And I can't imagine life without it. So useful. I get close to zero emails from anyone I work with.

I use it almost daily, as well. I check in to places because it syncs with TimeHop and keeps a record of places I've been, which is useful to me. And the explore function is much better at finding places that I'll actually enjoy w
