Another one goes subscription 8/29/2023

Subscriptions is a hot topic amongst product developers. Most of my product developer peers have gone subscription. And it makes a lot of sense for web apps, where the vendor has ongoing monthly cost...

OT - but maybe not entirely - warning about AI assisted deep fakes 7/20/2023

Haven't read the article yet, but aking has been with us probably as long as human history. Even before AI deepfakes you could edit a video for your own ends (e.g. take a quote out of context). So I t...

UltraRecall 3/8/2023

BTW I have idea which of those 2 applies to UltraRecall.

UltraRecall 3/8/2023

I think there is an important difference between not having new features added and not being maintained. As a vendor you run into diminishing returns adding new features into a mature product and it m...

50% deal off Scrivener for the next few days 2/28/2023

I'd really rather not engage in mudslinging and ad hominm attacks. But I feel I need to respond to some of these misinformed comments. Hyper Plan (dare I mention my product name) isn't an outliner, b...

50% deal off Scrivener for the next few days 2/27/2023

Stacksocial will be taking a big chunk of that $30. And the vendor aren't going to get an upgrade revenue if they are giving a lifetime sub. I wonder how they are going to be able to afford to give de...

Best software for visually diagramming a series of martial art strategies? 1/20/2023

I think a flowchart would be your best bet. There must be any number of those to choose from.
