I saw someone propose that there should be a min post length for the summary bot, because one of the summaries was just as long as the article. It’s nice to have it inline, but still.
In this case it’s 75% of the original article and it also introduces the risk of getting something wrong or leaving something important out. It’s shortening and rewriting it, but it’s not summarizing it.
At least let the first paragraph be a summary of the entire article and then you can read on and go into more detail if you want.
I’ve been using that a lot and then switched over to Mela, which does all the same things only better and it looks a lot nicer as well. But paprika is still a really solid choice.
Hard disagree. That’s my favorite kind of payment option, where you can try the app with a limited feature set and then have a one time payment to unlock more if you think that’s worth it.
Why would you want to pay up front with no option to try the app? How’s that better?
Just because it’s an "in app payment" doesn’t mean it‘s microtransactions, loot cheats, or any of that bullshit. It’s a one time payment.
I‘m still using fantastical, as some of the new premium features stayed unlocked for previous customers, but not heavily. And I really do think subscriptions are fine, but in no way can I justify 70 bucks per year for that and I don’t want to.
All good, I appreciate the tip :) I’m just not looking to replace it with anything.
I looked through my apps, and there’s quite a few that I’m paying subscriptions for. Castro, Spotify, (Audible, Netflix, Disney if you want to count these), Google Photos, Carrot, Ivory, Timery, YNAB, and Unread. Recently got rid of prime to see how that feels like. I know that’s not in the spirit of this post, but I’m happy to pay some of these, knowing it’ll help keep them around and get new features.
Many many apps I used to love and use have died, most likely because of the missing revenue stream and subscriptions definitely help to keep that from happening.
I’ve gone more and more back to apples original apps for that reason. Reminders, Notes, Mail, (also keychain is slowly getting there for me) …
Many have gotten a lot better and they have the advantage of being (more or less) continuously updated and completely free, if you don’t count the millions you spend on their hardware
