Ffs when I said 'swift' in my post i meant spark.

And you know what - it does do exactly that. They must have updated it. It's a Christmas miracle.

I can't find my perfect mailbox replacement.

The main problem I have is that for some reason none of them seem to give you the option of deleting or archiving with a different swipe action. Sometimes I want to quickly archive a message, sometimes i want to quickly get rid of it. I've tried Outlook and Swift and Boxer and mail.app and Gmail.app and Inbox and Dashlane as far as I can tell none of them offer this seemingly simple thing. Have I missed something somewhere?

Apart from that they all have various quirks I don't like: Outlook wastes my time with calendaring and contacts, Swift is messy, Inbox too quirky, Gmail swipes are weird.

Basically I just want to keep using Mailbox. gently caress you dropbox.

Like this?
Boxer is awesome once you figure it out.

Unless I'm missing something, Outlook does this? You can set a left swipe and a right swipe to delete, archive, mark read/unread, schedule, move, etc.. Sounds like you have other problems with it, though.

Yeah, Outlook gives you the ability to custom the swipe right and left options.

Mail.app lets you swipe in one direction for archive and swipe in the other direction for delete.

FFS the Netflix app on the iPad is driving me crazy. It's says it is installing, but stops at about 60 percent. The app can't be deleted nor downloaded/installed again from scratch. Do I really need to reset the iPad or something to get rid of that little bastard?

The Verge has an article for "must-have" apps for all your new devices or whatever. Workflow was mentioned, and I've seen it featured in the App Store. Why? Does anyone use this (or IFTTT)? I can't imagine it being THAT much of a help over maybe having to open two apps or tapping a few times within one app.

The worst thing about it is that there are literally no good examples of why anyone would spend 4 bucks on this app. "Calculate a tip" and "Walking directions to the nearest coffee shop" are not things I need another app to help me do. I have Calculator and Google Maps, thanks.

I know that MacStories has been all over Workflow, as have a few other indie bloggers. I tried using it, couldn't fit it into my workflow— ironic— and moved on with my life.

Basically, people are loving crazy and want to feel like supernerds by spending hours upon hours automating all kinds of menial poo poo in order to save .2 seconds every 2 weeks when they calculate a tip or export some obscure image directly to their Wordpress install.

I actually use it for one particular thing (which may not work anymore now that I think of it) but basically the VSCO cam app is crap and doesn't have a direct "open photo in app" function. I was able to create a workflow action extension that let me directly open camera roll photos in VSCO.

I art



Apps I'm super happy today, the only time of year I have times to redo how I do my every day thing:

Inbox by Gmail for iOS and Boxy for OSX

Goddammit I don't want the algorithms to take over, but these are scary good at helping me parse through my three primary e-mails and putting the most important things up top. I already have my addresses as my casual@gmail.com, professional@myfullname.com, and me@mycompany.com, all are Google App'd, so changing hats to match the mood of what I'm ready to deal with is two presses/clicks, max. My go-to way to deal with e-mail now.

Safari

I switched from Chrome this year because of how loving slow and inefficient its become with graphics, JavaScript, and memory. Safari is kicking all kinds of rear end. You have no excuse to not switch if OSX is your desktop/laptop and iOS is your mobile. You will live a less lovely life.

Purify

Adblocking for Safari. Pay $1.99 to the guy who runs µBlock for Safari on OSX.

Tweetbot

Great iOS app. Great OSX app. If you don't use Twitter, look up your favorite authors, musicians, scientists, and non-profit organizations, put them in some coherent topical lists, and get inspired to learn more about poo poo you dig in the world. Tweetbot is slick as gently caress.

Skyguide

If you meet someone into astronomy, buy them dinner and invite them out to some outdoor hotsprings or spa poo poo at night and learn the goddamn stories about why the constellations are the way they are. Next to that, you will use this app and learn all sorts of disconnected things about individual celestial bodies. But really, astronomy people are the best at night.

Also, Google Maps, Evernote, TuneIn Radio, Paper instead of Facebook.

Merry Christmas y'all.

Words cannot describe what a disaster the pie was.
Wife got me an iPad Air 2 to replace my 3rd gen iPad. This thing is amazing but I'm definitely disappointed in the lack of multitasking support in major apps. And picture in picture support is thinner than I'd like. Other than that it's great.

Workflow seems awesome on paper but I guess I'm not the intended power-user. The one useful thing I could come up with is a workflow that automatically adds calendar events when I homebrew, depending on how long I want to ferment the particular beer/when I need to bottle it/when it's drinkable. Super niche, and probably not worth the cost of the app, but there is a lot of potential.

I made a thing on workflow that takes any reminder in the default reminders app and pushes it to my todoist inbox. this way I can add a todoist item via siri, which for some reason you can't configure siri to do automatically.

Workflow owns for:

1. Sending my wife random gifs using Giphy in a very easy way, to make her smile.

2. One-touch audio memos from my Apple Watch, uploaded automatically to Dropbox (or wherever).

3. Converting live photos to gifs to share with Android folks.

4. Converting slow motion videos to regular videos.

5. Saving nzb and torrent files directly to a specific Dropbox folder, which then synchronize and start downloading automatically since they’re saved into a watched folder.

It’s just the standard “Save to Dropbox” action with the specific folder you want to save to configured. Then set the same folder as your watched folder in your NZB and torrent programs of choice.

Would you mind posting your recipe for this? I have been looking for a similar solution for home brewing, and I'd also like to take a stab at adapting the idea to single day baking schedule.

I'd love to, unfortunately I just checked the app and apparently I didn't back the recipe up when I jumped to my 6S. If I can track it down on my old phone I'll definitely post it, though!
