Rogue Amoeba makes the best audio products for Mac. They're so simple to use but powerful. Highly recommend their stuff.

I've been a big fan of Hunter over the years. I've always wished there was an option to "Confirm" that an email is right, allowing the percentage chance it's correct to increase, or mark it as incorrect and decrease that percentage of accuracy.

There were quite a number of apps that did this back in the '90s. Bombtrack 2.0, Flamethrower, NailMail, Emailblaster, MailBomb, and others, subscribed people to thousands of email lists. Back then it was much harder to block them or have automated spam filters block them, and unsubscribing was much harder.

Certainly are plenty of scraping products out there. The question is, how do you plan to keep websites from getting upset with you doing so? Some, like Facebook, frequently file lawsuits against those caught scraping their site. https://techcrunch.com/2020/10/01/facebook-sues-two-companies-engaged-in-data-scraping-operations/

I've been a big fan of TweetDeck for years. Though it used to get weekly updates, those ended long ago when Twitter purchased them. But it's still a great way to follow hashtags, lists, and more. It really covers all 3 items on the list.

It's certainly a challenge. By offering it for free (or even a reduced rate) you risk devaluing the product. Unless people find a HUGE value in the product, they're unlikely to go from paying nothing to paying something for it, even if the price is very low. Look at how many will find a free app to do the job of a 99¢ app, despite the fact it does it only 50% as well. I'd suggest reading up...
When should you offer your product for free? Or should you never? 🤷♂️

Unless it works with Twitter (as in, the shortened URLs are displayed there) I don't see much use in it. Additionally, custom domains need to support emoji domains, something Bitly has yet to do (though Twitter and other social media sites do support them, as do many browsers).

Seem the type of device companies would purchase, only to find they're not updated or supported a year from now. We're all on our laptops and tablets anyways and know apps there get updated frequently. We'll stick with that.

Once again the Awesome Plan users that helped build Buffer in the early years are left out in the cold. Seems more and more they'll keep all new features to the higher-dollar plans targeted at businesses.

Seems a lot like Quill Engage, which has been around for years and sends you insights about your site performance in plan English. Things like, "Average time on page was 2 minutes and 23 seconds, which is 25% more than it was last week." and highlights other insights.

What speed are they capped at? Will Bird be returning to Minneapolis this year? Lime, Spin, and others are around but it seems Bird may have been run out of the market this time around.
