Love everything Jonny does. I’m sure this will be no exception.

The reality for me is that calendars are both super important, and absolutely awful. I'm very pleased to see anyone with a genuine passion to improve this area of my life. I use Apple Cal to manage my time, appointments, priorities, availability for meetings, and so much more... and it really was never designed for any of it. Looking forward to see this go live.

Good to know I'm not the only one struggling with tasks + calendars. Just signed up, then realised I signed up back in July. Great to know a solution is on its way.

Part way through. Enjoying it. Lots to think about. And despite listening to Naval on many podcasts, seeing everything in a logical order (with Jack's great illustrations) is really helping me get my head around it all.

I initially thought this was just another design gallery, but it's great to see this goes beyond just what 'looks good' and delves a little deeper. Also encouraging to see the fantastic @shanelle_mullin is part of the team behind this. Signed up. And added to my newsletter. Can't wait to see more.

This looks really interesting Dan. It feels more like a social network to me. I recently left Facebook (after taking a break). There was lots I liked (the chance to connect, learn, share, etc.) but just too much I didn't like (the effect on mental health, the invasion of privacy, the questionable ethics, etc.). I'm sure I'm not alone. Is part of the move you've made here to capitalise on this...

Looks great Peep. Looking forward to giving it a go.

Loving the work you continue to do over at Digital Profile @danlewistech. When I was scaling my last business, recruitment was a real issue. It was so time consuming to find the right people (taking me away from the job of building/running the business), and yet it matters so much. And I totally get where you are coming from with keeping everyone in the loop (not just successful applicants)....

Just had a look @danlewistech and it's looking really good. Always been a big fan of the Digital Profile style/branding. You guys are really doing Cardiff/Wales proud. My first thought upon landing on the homepage was that I wanted to see a great example of someone's profile. Any thoughts on that? Would also love to hear about what's next?

Just ordered some to be delivered to the UK. Look forward to getting them as I've really struggled to get decent socks like this over here. 'One size fits all' lets me know instantly that it's not going to work.

Craig - Just wondering if you guys had given any thought to iMessage App Extensions on iOS? I just ask, as for me this problem (of organising an event with multiple people attending) usually begins in a message. Would be good to get your thoughts?

I have a real phobia of group chats. They can be such a time-sucker, and planning a simple meet-up with friends, or a weekend away, can be incredibly painful and slow. I always think that there must be a way for tech to solve this problem, so was pleased to come across Decidz earlier last year. They're based in Edinburgh, Scotland - home to lots of awesome tech companies. Craig's really open to...

Would this work for the UK? Or is it just US-based for now?

I've been using this for a while and I'm very keen to switch over to them for my businesses. The product is great, and the team are very keen to listen to users. They seem genuinely interested in solving real problems, which sounds simple but is actually quite refreshing! Best of luck to you all. Great to see you on PH.

Looks interesting. One issue I always have with podcasts is the ability to easily play them via my Sonos speakers. Any thoughts on this?

Looks great at first glance. I've been using Simple Note for some time now. One of my most used apps. Simplicity is key as you just want a rapid way of recording things quickly, but nice to have the option to build a note out if required (add photos, make it a list, etc.). Definitely giving this a go.

Great to see doopoll on PH. Great tool with a great team behind it. A great example of some of the fantastic start-ups we have in Wales right now. ☺️

I used Airmail for quite some time, and found it to be really good. But then, when there were issues, support was often totally non-responsive. I would sometimes get a response to a support request, but then the responses would stop, with the problem being left unresolved. One such issue involved emails needing to be refreshed to load properly. After months of waiting, the problem wasn't fixed....

Have been using this for last couple of weeks and it's already the best Mac email client I've tried (and I've tried a lot!). It seems like a simple thing to get right, but yet so many miss the mark. This is a simple as possible, with all the features I feel I need. Updates roll out very quickly, and the Canary Mail team are very open to suggestions and feedback. Fantastic.
