Evernote should learn from Yojimbo’s Tag Browser

September 1, 2009

Bare Bones Software today released Yojimbo 2.0, a popular organizing app that was once the leader in its field. However, after two years of no updates, many people started jumping ship.

Myself, I was never a Yojimbo user. Back then I was hardcore with Journler, which has since been virtually abandoned. That said, I toyed with [...]

July 31, 2009

I’ve finally gotten around to downloading the beta of NetNewsWire 3.2, which features Google Reader syncing. I’m excited about this, mostly for the impact it should have on the NNW iPhone app. As much as I love the NNW app for Mac, I loathe the iPhone version.

DateLine is a small, simple app which displays a linear calendar on your desktop in a transparent window. It provides easy access to iCal by double clicking on a day. The background and text colors are customizable with support for transparency.

For me, it solves [...]

A Love Triangle: NetNewsWire and Google Reader

March 3, 2009

I’m stuck in a love triangle with two popular RSS readers, and I just can’t figure it out. I love them both but for very different reasons (and at very different times).

On the desktop, I prefer NetNewsWire for a variety of reasons:

Keyboard shortcuts for blog posting, Delicious posting, Twitter posting, etc. Easier keyboard navigation Sorting by date [...]
