I would list all of Panic’s apps if the question did not specifically exclude well-known apps. They are hands down the best at delivering just beautiful software. --- I use Reeder a lot (both on macOS and iOS), and love its beautiful simpli

I once had a credit card with the CVC code of 007. Although it looks cool and everything, I spent a few hours on the phone to manage to activate it. Why? Simply because only a few days prior to the arrival of my card, the bank switched to v
