Nice! I used you guys on a personal project a while back and loved the output, but connecting it up to my existing backend obviously had some manual steps and upkeep. Can I be lazy and ask for your summary of how this helps existing backends / ongoing development? Or if you have any opinions of where the CLI will go next that would be useful to know.

I'm one of the earlier users of Mailman and it's been a big upgrade to my email workflow. I’ve tried a ton of different email apps, plugins, hacks, etc to manage my inbox over the years. This brings together a few useful tools to help make triaging email in batches a lot easier. It took a few days to test different delivery winows, set VIPs, and tune my screening settings, but now I’m spending...

I recently updated and have been loving it so far. As the makers say - this brings some of the design elements inline with the web version which is a welcome addition. Great work! Pros: Tonnes of improvements over the old Flow app Cons: Haven't found anything yet - lots of polish generally

My favourite team management tool out of Trello, Basecamp, Asana and Pivotal tracker. My team was using the previous version of Flow for a couple of years, and this beta for the last few months. Psyched to see it all go live! P.S. Love the music in the video :) Pros: Fast, focused, flexible enough for both our design and dev teams. Cons: Missing some dedicated software tracking features like...

My team switch to Flow a few months ago and we've been really enjoying it. Coming from Trello after it got a little bloated with all our process on top of the simple lists, this was just enough organisation on top to get things going again. I really recommend it for small teams. Pros: More organised than Trello, MUCH lighter than Asana/Jira/etc Cons: You need to know which parts to use, e.g. we...

@rrhoover It's probably that Grappa one actually. Stuck in my mind the most. Never had much Grappa before, the kit was a good intro to the drink. Had most of them neat (as intended) but then made a few drinks up with the leftovers. The "Graponi" (Grappa Negroni) was awesome. I like trying new things over old, if you hadn't guessed :)

I'm a big fan of Flaviar. I've had a couple of kits from them and they're very good. Made some *weird* cocktails with the collection of Grappa that they sent out last year.

Looks very interesting. My concern is that being Apple-only it will be slow to adapt to issues, but I *hope* that they've got experienced designers behind it (it seems they do) and that their internal team has been using it heavily. It's not ideal (a more widely used language allowing for some transfer of knowledge) but it looks a hell of a lot better than objective-C.

@willimholte No public offerings yet. We tried some scaled kits but had issues (i.e. you needed a full bottle of X, but only a bit of Y). We could certainly do something for a special occasion though, drop me an email (alex@) if you'd like to arrange something.

@rrhoover Yea, I'm a product guy at heart, and wanted to make something that focussed on simply being delightful :) We don't ship to the US yet (we're very young and based in the UK), but there are alternatives like http://julibox.com/ As for drinks: the founders know a lot of bartenders, so we have a bit of back-catalogue of people and brands that we can show off. It's just a scheduling...
